Richard has worked in VC for nearly 20 years, with a focus on helping emerging managers raise funds. Initially this was as a placement agent, raising money for new managers from LPs. After getting increasingly frustrated with Fund Administrators he moved into providing fund administration services and building related technology. In 2018 he co-founded Kin Group, the UK’s one stop shop for Venture Capital managers. He has been described as one of the most knowledgeable commentators on UK Venture Capital (Telegraph 2017).
