From the age of 12 I was a software developer and entrepreneur, notably as co-inventor of the leading music notation program Sibelius, and co-founder & CEO of the business that sold it worldwide (now part of Avid; the history of Sibelius is here).
I've since advised some 25 tech startups and other companies, including Roli (of the award-winning Seaboard keyboard), JukeDeck (AI composition, sold to TikTok), CPD Webinars (online legal training, sold to LexisNexis), and Eagle Genomics (bioinformatics software). I've also given business talks to entrepreneurs, students, and others, including the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills, and at Goldsmiths, University of London.
You may find my two articles about writing business plans useful. Also my talk about deciding which features to program in software development, called How to choose features and treble your revenues! ; watch it alongside the PowerPoint slides below.
