About Me:

I’ve been in the venture capital business for over 25 years, and I believe it’s the best job in the world. I get to spend my time working with a broad variety of interesting companies, supporting them to solve complex problems and hopefully to see the leadership team drive the business to a successful exit for all.

I’ve invested in a large number of companies over the years. Some have had tremendous success, several have failed and many are still going. However, all of them have taught me something important. I am proud of our portfolio of companies, and especially proud of the impact they have had on the Irish eco-system.

The business of venture capital is judged over long time horizons, for me I am looking to back teams that I can work with for the next 10 years or more. I am looking to invest in founders who are driven to find success, humble enough to listen to those around them and smart enough to solve the endless problems all start-ups have to endure.

I am always looking to back smart people taking on a growing market.
