An unremarkable venture capitalist. I'm not able to locate coverage that discusses the subject directly and in detail. The coverage is either PR driven or contains commentary by the subject: link. WP:TOOSOON -- the subject is not yet notable per encyclopedia standards. The author (Special:Contributions/Misterpottery) appears to have created articles on several marginally-notable businesspeople in the past; see for example: Articles for deletion/Jason Trost (entrepreneur).

 * Weak Keep He has coverage dating back to 2011 or so  (Milo Yiannopoulos - tagged him at #1 in a list in 2011). He is regularly interviewed - in major euro-zone publications (BBC, Economist, FT, etc.). around 200 Google-news hits - many of them good sources. Most of the coverage is passing, though some is in-depth. The article itself is a short stub and not overly promotional.Icewhiz (talk) 06:47, 5 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep Well known in UK technology circles. Consistently on UK lists of technology executives to follow. There are many similar people of similar stature - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eileen_Burbidge for example Misterpottery (talk) 16:05, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: As one of the Keeps is by the article creator, I think relisting this is best.

 * Nom's comment -- "regularly interviewed" does not count towards GNG; it just means that the subject is effective at generating publicity. We'd need substantial commentary either about the subject or his work to substantiate the claim of significance. I don't see this yet. K.e.coffman (talk) 19:23, 22 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep Notable, though a little TOOSOON. I think the last 2 sections (TV appearances and Brexit) should be removed from the article. d.g. L3X1  (distant write)  00:10, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. This plus the other stuff gets him over the line.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 07:50, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
