Tim Fouracre

Angel Investor & Founder of Clear Books and Countingup

Clear Books Countingup £10bn+ processed

I started building software at school. Now through Sixthform, I'm investing in the next generation to do the same.

I built Clear Books into one of the UK's first online accounting platforms, then launched Countingup which now serves over 100,000 customers and has processed over £10 billion in transactions.

I started the Sixthform project to connect 18-year-olds with the funding I wish I'd had at that age.

Paul Maunders

Co-founder, Fubra & Memiah

Paul and Tim started their entrepreneurial journey together at The Sixth Form College Farnborough in 1998. Paul co-founded Fubra, which was the first company Tim worked for after university. Fubra built a web portfolio reaching tens of millions of users. Paul also co-founded Memiah, the UK's largest counsellor directory.

Peter Zaborsky

Bootstrapped to 7-figure exit

Like Tim, Pete cut his teeth as a developer at Fubra before bootstrapping his own VPN comparison site from a dorm room prototype to a seven-figure acquisition — proving you don't need VC millions to build something valuable.
