I'm Simon, founder of Strategic Alchemy, where I help founders and CEOs raise private capital, structure joint ventures, and build the kind of relationships that create exits. My book, The Five Connections, is the framework behind most of what I do. Before advising founders, I was at PwC, RBS, and ABN AMRO, where I managed over 1.2bn euro across European ETF platforms. I also co-founded Links Golf Cafe, a golf simulator and cafe franchise concept. Ask me about preparing for investment, structuring joint ventures, The Five Connections framework, and taking founder-led businesses to exit.
