Joined 2004
Overview
Ed has been with us since 2004 and heads up our tech team. He is ever-curious, and discovers and nurtures startups that go on to make waves in sectors spanning B2B software, fintech, cyber, AI and deeptech.
He was the first institutional investor in leading global decision intelligence frim Quantexa and cybersecurity leader Egress (acquired by KnowB4). He was also an early investor in fintech Credit Kudos (acquired by Apple) and leading blockchain analytics firm Elliptic. Ed won investor of the year at the 2025 GP Bullhound Annual Investor Awards.
Ed graduated from UCL with a degree in philosophy and completed a stint in banking with ING Barings & Charterhouse, where he advised public companies on equity financing and M&A during the dotcom boom/bust, before joining Albion.
Personal
The Londoner spends much of his free time on a football pitch or watching replays of Son lifting the Europea League Cup. He can also be found exploring his love of music (sometimes behind the decks) or researching his next trip to a remote, snow-capped peak.
We are living in the greatest entrepreneurship boom in over a century – this is an amazing time to be founding a business.
