AboutRead Full Story
Nearly Three Decades of Building on the Web
I started building businesses on the web in 1997—long enough that the early days now feel like a different era. What began with Marcat, a web agency in Glasgow, has evolved through multiple ventures, sectors, and continents.
Today, my focus spans investing in emerging technologies, developing new products, and the hands-on craft of building digital experiences. The tools have changed dramatically, but the core challenge remains: turning ideas into sustainable businesses.

FAQ
Common Questions
What types of investments do you focus on?
I actively invest across cryptocurrency, technology startups, AI-driven solutions, and premium domain names. My focus is on opportunities that leverage digital innovation and have strong long-term potential.
Are you available for consulting or advisory roles?
Selectively, yes. I work with businesses where my experience in digital strategy, AI development and marketing, growth, and operations can add meaningful value. The best fit tends to be companies in the early stages of nurturing products and customers.
How did you get started in business?
I founded my first company, Marcat, in Glasgow in 1997 during the early days of the commercial web. That experience of building from scratch, making mistakes, and learning rapidly shaped everything that followed.
What's your approach to new technologies like AI?
Embrace and apply. The latest generation of AI tools has reignited my enthusiasm for hands-on building. I'm actively using AI across content creation, development, and business operations.
