I am a General Partner at Balderton Capital, one of Europe's leading early stage technology venture capital firms with over $4.5B under management. Before becoming an investor, I was an engineer (Computer Science at Cambridge) and an entrepreneur (I founded blinkx and took it public where it had a peak market cap in excess of $1B). I am always interested in talking to people who are building great technology companies in Europe and who think we may be able to help them take the next step. We mainly invest at Series A.
