Where I build.

Since 2012, Venture Harbour's been my sandbox for incubating ventures and writing about what I break along the way.

My Journey

I started Venture Harbour with a dodgy laptop and £500 in the bank.

I had no idea what I was doing, but I enjoyed building tech products.

So I built one a year for about a decade.

Most flopped, but a few worked.

Two got acquired and my "venture studio"little sandbox became one of Europe's fastest-growing companies.

I did the usual CEO stuff, then somewhere along the way I stopped having fun.

I was a bit lost for a few years. I dabbled in investing - but something was missing.

Turns out, the answer was hiding in plain sight all along.

What's next?
