Testimonials

 
"I invested in Raj and Lee's Digital Prophets because I believed that they were capable, commercially minded and astute businessmen. They've proved me right, growing their startup to a high turnover leading brand within a competitive space. I have worked with them directly for six years and can honestly say the startups they invest in will be lucky to have them on board." - Luke Johnson

"Raj and Lee have a real grip of how start-ups work from ground level. At Springboard they have not been afraid to roll up their sleeves and get stuck in - and the fact that they are doing this full time and investing in startups directly is awesome. Bringing money and experience has massive value - having been there and done it before." - Jon Bradford, Springboard

"Working with Raj and Lee has been fantastic. They are exceptionally switched-on, clever investors who've spent the time to understand our business and team and to find the right ways to provide us with support. In my mind they're the archetype of the new breed of early-stage European investor � ambitious, aware, willing to take risks and ready to back game-changing businesses." - Jeff Lynn, Seedrs
