People who want clarity before committing serious time or money
Founders with an MVP who are struggling to get adoption and traction

"It’s well known that Harry goes above and beyond to support anyone who needs his help, and is very generous with his time and expertise. It was a real privilege to have his support. I learned loads from him, and am sure I will continue to do so as I get the chance to interact with him more."

"In mid-2023 I met Harry at the NHS Clinical Entrepreneur Programme… Harry & I had a very good chat, honest, cards on the table, straightforward, after which Harry & I decided on a ‘direction’, a ‘focus’ which I’m doing right now. I can’t thank Harry enough for his time, effort, expertise… which makes his time, advice, support & honesty – priceless."

"Harry is a natural for his role as the Business and Commercial Lead at the NHS Clinical Entrepreneur Programme. He possesses a remarkable understanding of the challenges and skills required to succeed as a doctor and entrepreneur… His deep insight and capacity to hone in on pertinent issues make him an exceptional mentor and leader.
