I co-founded a startup in Silcon Valley that floated for over $2Bn. I still feel a typical British awkwardness putting that out there but it is what it is. But of course, there have been numerous highs, lows, challenges and mistakes before and since too!
I now get a kick out of helping entrepreneurial businesses and charities on their own journeys to success.
This ancient symbol can represent a number of concepts but for me it is the interconnectedness of family, friends and community. My true wealth resides in these relationships.
I am a co-founder and CEO of TheGivingMachine - a charity providing unrestricted funding services that are free, easy and quick for ALL good causes to help address the needs of today. Over £2.3m generated so far.
Leveraging my entrepreneurial experience, I recognised that the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) is the best, complete system I've seen to help people get what they really want from their businesses and have some fun along the way.

Testimonials
"I set up TGM [TheGivingMachine] for our PSA and we have now raised over £1500 from our supporters who shop on-line via TGM."
"...a lottery had been on our list for a long time and the GivingLottery was a great way for us to start a charity lottery, given that we have such little time and resources to run our own charity lottery in-house."
"His solid commercial experience coupled with his demonstrable social sector experience when combined with the theory within EOS is delivering superb value to Cornerstone Place."
"I cannot recommend Richard enough, not only for his EOS and wide-spread business knowledge but for his fantastic ‘people skills’. He is a fantastic human and would be an asset to any business, team, networking group or quiz team!"
