JWR Ventures

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT Using my commercial skills as well as tapping into my worldwide network, I provide business development services to both non-EU business who want to get into the EU market as well as EU businesses who are looking to expand into North America and Asia. My expertise is in digital media (especially Games, TV and Music) as well as B2B SaaS digital products. INVESTMENT AND STRATEGY Tapping into my hands-on experience of the 4 start-ups I have co-founded I am a strategic advisor, board member & consultant with a focus on start-ups and early stage scale-ups in the digital media and B2B digital product space. I help companies, management teams and founders shape their investment, marketing sales plans as well as help them raise investment funds tapping into my network of business angels, corporate investors and VC funds. IP DEVELOPMENT AND EXPLOITATION I have direct experience across the entire IP creation, production, distribution and licensing process in TV and Games. I can therefore help IP owners and creators maximise value and revenue by leveraging my creative and commercial knowledge and network. The key impact is to empower IP owners to transform their content into multi-platform and multi-vertical IP content and build long-term properties and revenue-generating assets.
