I need to ask my wife before I buy #StartupLife [This is not about having a go at wives – opposite might equally be true, but I’ve only experienced this with men who wanted business advice from their wives]. During my tech startup carrier since 2004, I have come across above a number of times. Each time the deal fell through.

We managed to get the V1 out, but V2 killed V1 – bad outsourcing deal and I had to shut down the company (FinTech) by end of 2006. Started building Manchester’s tech ecosystem from this point onwards. I founded my second tech…
