Natalie put a lot of work in to this (and we're suposed to be on holiday!). There's lots of great stuff in here - not just about the overall startup experience, but also advice on talking to press, raising money and building out the company.

Thanks! We're not disclosing the sum, but we are happy and so are our investors.

You two seem to have a terrible time not working on holidays. I can't wait to see what comes out of your next vacation!

As a Brit working in a UK start-up it really is great to hear fellow Brits making it happen. Well done, you are spreading a little hope.

Wow, thanks for putting this together. I really liked seeing the image of the press pack. It seems like a excellent example of what to do.
