Jon Bradford is “doer of many things (badly)” — at least that’s what he sent through when we asked him for a short bio. However, a quick Google search will tell you that Jon is a highly experienced early-stage investor, MD of Techstars London, co-founder of Ormeau Baths, Ignite, FS6, tech.eu and has been described as “the godfather of European accelerators.” When I asked a few people close to Jon to describe him they said things like: "He is one of the smartest investors I know and has learned the art of asking the hard questions." "Jon is like a sneaky ninja working behind the scenes to make magic happen." And that "he’s a man of few words - who likes brevity and getting to the point." So with that said, let’s get straight to the point. Delighted to have Jon here in the studio with us, and am looking forward to finding out more including things like but not necessarily, Jon’s origin story, lessons he’s learned along the way, why he likes to run naked and his favourite quote from Yoda.
