Testimonials

Testimonials

  • Dave Nicholson, Founder/CEO LiveHive

    2x former Founder: Zopa (IPO target 2024, unicorn, top 10 UK startup), Yoyo Wallet (exited to Saltpay 2020)

    "CBV supported LiveHive across multiple dimensions - whether it was pushing us hard to think about how to build in viral growth to the product, or really working out the kinks in our marketing and onboarding journeys, Manshu brings a “been there and done it” attitude and experience to the relationship. As a first time CEO, I also personally found his advice highly practical - as someone who has been through the start-up journey Manshu knows what has worked, and just as importantly, what hasn’t, when it comes to fundraising, management team building, setting up equity and incentive structures, and just the hard work of building a business from scratch. It’s been invaluable to have someone independent and experienced watching and supporting us in everything we do - which is different from any other adviser or mentor relationship I've seen."

  • DR. THOMAS FUDGE

    Founder & CEO, WASE (Waste-to-Energy)

    "Colbridge Ventures joined WASE to support our commercial development and take us to the next level, which has been critical in securing our seed investment round. Manshu was the partner that supported us and - working together to refine the commercial strategy - he has been instrumental in our sales development, increasing our pipeline by a further £10 million. Alongside honing our customer value proposition, he has helped develop the brand and messaging to be more focused on our target market and audience. Furthermore, he helped bring together our techno-economics and drafted sales agreements to help get customers over the line. I would recommend Manshu as a great addition to any startup team. He fitted directly in with WASE and our culture and would be an asset to other startups looking for commercial acceleration."

  • ORIANNA BRETSCHGER, CEO AQUACYCL

    2023 Earthshot Finalist, 2021 Fellow for the Science & Technology Pioneed Award, Cartier Women's Initiative

    "We are very happy with the work that Manshu did, helping us to identify market expansion opportunities in Europe. He was able to quickly understand a complex topic and deliver a thorough assessment using primary and secondary market research. Throughout the project, he was consistently professional and responsive, and we look forward to working with him on other projects."
