FounderContact.com promises to be a friend for entrepreneurs looking for funding for getting their idea off the ground or those who seeks additional funding for growth.  It was co-founded by Andre Maljaars, who is also the CEO, with the vision of creating the world’s premium online marketplace for entrepreneurs and investors. Andre claims to have 3000+ contacts in their database. I could only access lot less than this. I could not find more than one or two who resembled a VC. Perhaps this is due to I being registered as a FC Guest. Quick look at my Outlook shows that…

This was an article which I published earlier and then removed due to protest from my LinkedIn buddy…I have now removed the name of the Talk Talk Executive, so as not to jeopardise my LinkedIn buddy’s relationship with Talk Talk Executive………………………………………………….

Following was taken from upcoming.org Having asked others to introduce, I realised I have not really introduced me. So here goes..

I was trying to find out any news on my father’s appointment to the board of CEB, alas there is nothing out there! Only thing I can find is a small contribution my father made to Digital Butterflies sometime back. History is that he joined CEB in 1962 and retired as the General Manager (equivalent to CEO) in 1997. I am very happy for him. According to my mom, he did not want the job (refused the chairmanship and asked for the deputy role – too much politics involved at CEB) but left this morning to work with a happy…
