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 investor in cybersecurity leader Egress (acquired by KnowB4) and an early investor in fintech Credit Kudos (acquired by Apple). He has also partnered with blockchain analytics firm Elliptic, decision intelligence platform Quantexa, and payments fintech Runa. Other companies Ed has worked with over the years include 5mins, InCrowd, Koru Kids, OpenDialog, Panaseer, Perchpeek, RFI (acquired by UL) and Seldon.
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, before joining Albion.
Personal
The Londoner spends much of his free time on a football pitch or exploring his love of music (sometimes behind the decks). He can also be found learning how to code (it is a long-term project), 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.
