So like most VCs, we believe our job is to find those A-star founder CEOs working on a big disruptive idea with the right timing to be a market leader in their space and then just back them.

The knotty issue of regulation is still an area that needs some light thrown onto it.  I suspect few angels (and indeed some advisers in the angel market) realise that under FCA rules any company defined as an SME – less than 250 employees for example – is regarded by the FCA as a retail client. 

The Great Western Railway was built to allay the fears of Bristol Merchants who believed that their position as the second most important port in England would be taken over by Liverpool.
