Rob Watt commented on Giles Douglas's group Venture Capital
"It is definitely a tough time for start-ups wanting VC. I was chatting to a mate of mine / former colleague who is a director of a VC firm which has been around for almost 10 years and they aren't actively raising capital for anyone currently.…"

Profile Information

Who are you?
My career background is in Finance (VC, Equities, FP), IT (mostly Tech Support) and Music (Teaching, Performing, Writing, Recording, Business).

I’ve always been drawn to computers and technology in general. My first memory of computers was learning to play the game “Commander Keen” when I was about 7 or 8 years old, back in 1991/1992. We also had a dot matrix printer!

I have spent almost 5 years in Finance as an equities broker in Venture Capital and also in Financial Planning. During that time I studied at the University of Stellenbosch’s business school. More recently I have focused my long term career path in the exciting and ever changing field of Software Development.

My immediate focus is Ruby, Rails, SQL and HTML. I’m in the planning stages of developing a web app for a music instrument retailer which is going to revolutionise the operational side of their business.
