Tell us about yourself?
I worked in investment banking for 2 decades, felt unfulfilled and wanted to do something to make a real difference to people’s lives.
So I set out to build a platform to help jobseekers find work in Startups. Unfortunately we failed with our venture because we found it hard to identify the Startups that had the budget to pay for our service.
Two and a half years later we launched Prelo to solve exactly the problem that caused the failure of our first venture.
