Founder

I'm the Founder of Buffer, a more intelligent way to publish content on Social Media. By making use of lean startup techniques, I took Buffer from an idea to a business with paying customers in 7 weeks. I started Buffer on the side whilst working full-time, and within 4 months it was ramen profitable and I quit my work. I started in Birmingham in the UK, then spent 6 months in Silicon Valley where we raised $400,000. I'm now based in Hong Kong and Buffer has over 100,000 users and an annual revenue run rate of $200,000. I love to be in touch with others working on startups, and discuss ideas and help where I can.
