Biography
Jonathan is an entrepreneur, investor and software engineer who has spent most of the last 25 years trying to stop the internet from leaking our personal information. He has founded three startups, the most recent of which achieved 'unicorn' status and listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 2021, and uses this experience to invest in and support other startups in the UK and Europe. Areas of particular interest include the stories of early-stage startups, dealing with organisational growth, and how we practice our values in startups. Jonathan trained and worked as a youth worker in London's East End, before studying Computer Science at the University of Oslo, and completing postgraduate studies in Strategy, Change and Leadership at the University of Bristol.
