Great interview Mike.
I feel we need a lot more experienced support for UK start-ups, people who have been there and done it. For example, I’m developing a web start-up at the moment, but I’m not part of the London tech scene as I live some 80 miles away down the M3, so support is very limited if any in my region, unless I travel 2hrs into London which is not always particle.
Supporting new start-ups should be a common courtesy, because the only way we can develop and prosper as a community, is by sharing the knowledge and experience we gain.
