James Reed: all about business · 65. From Dragon’s Den to Startup Success | Jinesh Vohra · 9 Feb 2026 podcast

And so the first question I asked him was, so what's the idea?

He goes...

I don't really have an idea.

I just know that we should do something together.

And because I always liked the idea of doing something, we'd literally after work, sit in the cafeteria and get our laptops out and brainstorm business ideas.

And we started in the summer of 2018.

And then we came up with the idea for Sprive in about November.

So literally during that process, we had ideas after ideas.

And as we start to validate the ideas very quickly, it became apparent that, um,

you know those ideas weren't very good and and Sprive was essentially idea number five or six and that's the one where we started to really kind of get excited about and then yeah nine months later we so you did so are you doing that together then is he an investor he's my partner yeah right so that's good so so it's interesting you just decided you were going to do something before you had the idea

Yeah, so we were going to look into it.

Yeah, so the idea was we liked the idea of it.

He was definitely going to leave.

So we then were like, I'm not leaving a good job until I'm very, very sure.

And so, you know, five months to come up with the idea, but being really intentional about finding an idea.

And then once we came up with the idea for Sprive, conceptually in like in November, it was only until July the following year that I actually resigned and handed in my notice.

Yeah, July 2019.

And the time spent was really me actually understanding will this actually work?

Could I actually build it?

Having conversations with investors, people in the mortgage industry, understanding what technology I needed to build.
