Personal

A Yorkshireman at heart, Adam flies the Northern flag at AlbionVC. Outside of work Adam’s interests range from playing and watching most sports known to humankind, reading trashy crime thrillers, listening to music from the 60s through to the 90s (and failing miserably to play it on any of the multiple guitars in his house), cooking and travelling (mostly to Italy where his spoken Italian improves with wine). Having two vets as parents, his happy place is in the Yorkshire countryside surrounded by the animals.

It’s amazing to work with founders who are driven by changing the world in a positive way with ceaseless energy and passion. The #1 decision on any VC investment , and ultimately whether it’s successful or not, boils down to the people; both the Founders you invest in and also the noticeable impact of each individual in fast growing startup companies.
