"I have known and worked with Colum Whelan for many years and have the very highest regard for him both as an advisor and a colleague. Building an early stage company is difficult. So much can go right or wrong on many fronts. I use the analogy of the 3-legged stool. (Sales, Product and Finance). Get one of these critical functions wrong and the stool falls over.
As a core team member, Colum brings all the skills any company needs on finance, both in terms of the fund raising process, and the financial management side.
On the management side, clear and precise information is needed promptly on cash flow, p&l etc. and all statutory items taken care of. Colum, and Guardian Management have delivered this to Dajeil since inception, and my previous Tech venture, AEP with style and personality.
On the fund raising side, Colum has been responsible for direct investment to Dajeil of funds in excess of €1m over the life of the company, from a total of €5m raised to date.
Colum also possesses a broader and practical understanding of business so needed in building a successful Company, so I have no hesitation in recommending him as part of any senior management team. Please do not hesitate to contact me (mobile – 0872963222) if you require any further information."
