Hi there. My name is James Green. I am a co-founder and general partner at DQ Ventures. By way of background, I have started 10 different businesses over the years, and I've invested in 64 more, plus I'm a limited partner in 3 different VC funds. So I've seen success and failure many times. I've seen a lot of different ways this can go wrong, and I hope to bring that experience to bear if we work together. If we do work together, you'll probably work with me mostly on business development, lead generation, maybe later fundraising, but any way in which I can bring people in my network that could be useful to you, to your business. I'm based in Sweden, in Stockholm, where I live with my wife and 2 children, but before that I grew up in the UK and lived in Australia, New Zealand, and spent 8 years in Singapore. I've traveled fairly extensively, especially Southeast Asia and Latin America. And once you get to know me, you'll find out that the most important things to me are my family and my friends, and spending time doing the things I love. For example, golf. I love fly fishing when I get the opportunity, and I also love skiing. Once we get to work together, what you can expect is that I will always come back to you quickly. I'll do what I said I would do. I'll think about your business in the shower. I'll spend my shower time thinking about your business and how to make you successful between meetings. I'll try to make this fun, and I will always treat you the way that I would like you to treat me. So I hope we get the chance to work together.
