“A good Business Angel is like a demanding parent, an investor is more like a lazy banker” Winton G. Rossitor, Chairman and Managing Director of JazzyMedia and Weight Wins.

Jonathan Harrison is one of the shrewdest Angel Investors that I Know. I have worked with him on a number of deals both large and small and we have made and lost money together: fortunately much more than the former. If you want to learn about Angel Investing from one of the masters of the art, I can do no better than quote Gordon Gekko from Wall Street II: “BUY THIS BOOK!” Richard Poulden, Dubai.

“Jonathan Harrison was our seed capital investor in UK Explorer and provided consistent support, advice and encouragement, found us an outsourced accountant and contributed to the management reporting. In view of his past business experience, he also assisted us with the successful trade sale” Richard Stubbs, Head of Equities – Investments, TOWER, New Zealand.

“Jonathan Harrison is a rarity, a senior finance person with business flair, yet a common- sense person. It’s typical of Jonathan Harrison’s character that he’s endeavoured to help others by sharing his experiences. He’s truly an angel on the side of the entrepreneurs”. Professor Michael Mainelli, Executive Chairman, Z/Yen Group Limited.
