The ‘Accelerating Devonshires’ - helping accelerate more than 100 new ventures a year.

I’m lucky. At Wayra, by virtue of the sheer number of applications that we receive, I get to hang out with some of the very best entrepreneurial talent across Europe - our job is to help accelerate their growth.

I’m not alone. Today, 7th January 2012 Mrs Devonshire starts her new role as Director of Ventures at UnLtd, where she’ll be supporting some of the smartest social entrepreneurs in the UK.

We are the ‘Accelerating Devonshires’. Assuming we both continue on our current journeys, between us we’ll help accelerate more than 100 new ventures across Europe each year - which I suspect is quite a unique situation.

Watch this space - we’ll share the lessons that we learn via the Tall Man Business blog.

UnLtd is expert and focused in the development of social enterprises. Wayra is expert and focused on the acceleration of digital start-ups.

That’s my photo of my much loved Ducati which I sold earlier this year. It’s acceleration was unbelievably rapid.
