What our clients think

Mark has been the most excellent investor, mentor and friend to our business and many others’ businesses that I know. He is firm but fair; and if he believes in you and your business goes above and beyond…to help you realise success. We value his council on many matters and he really has been a part of the team. We have been blessed to share our journey with him. He cares.

Julian Walker, CEO

Mark is brilliant at providing ‘life-giving’ (full of Prana) advise to early stage startups and has continued to be an actively supportive advisor all along our up and down growth journey. For Maanch, his guidance around fund-raising and preparation of essential investor materials for successful financing has been spot-on and invaluable. Mark is also generous making right connections in the industry to get visibility and traction with our products and services. Personally, I have really appreciated the strategic and direct counselling I have received from time to time. Definitely recommend Prana Partners…

Darshita Gillies – CEO Maanch

Mark has consistently consulted and mentored me, always doing so with true good-natured kindness. In my opinion, Mark is the real-deal – a true ‘angel’ investor, who authentically cares about the stakeholder impact of the business he has chosen to support. Whether you are an employee or end-user, I have witnessed all positive outcomes, both internal and external, are sought and considered in his dealings with anyone.

Mike Dowling, CEO

I have known Mark for a number of years, and he has been an active investor and adviser in my last two Start Ups – Bink and now SKOOT. Mark is constantly thinking of ways to help evolve the business and is always proactive in delivering, both in terms of network and also great ideas. It has been a pleasure to include Mark on the journey and he has added significant value to the business along the way.

Greg Gormley, CEO

Mark is a great guy to work with – loyal and very smart. He has the ability to analyse the complexity of my business, boiling it down to the key issues I need to address. I can tell he has the experience and knows how business and financing work, and he focusses his efforts wisely rather than getting distracted. Great skier too.

Marten Dresen, Founder of Good Hotel Group

Pitching

Pitching is a key part of being an entrepreneur – both when raising money for the business and when trying to attract new clients.  Whilst some pitchers have the gift of the gab, I have seen many who are uncomfortable and do not give themselves the best chance, and it is usually down to poor […]

Have enough cash

This blog was prompted by two recent events I have witnessed in the public markets, but also holds for privately held companies as well. The “mantra” for companies is often “always have enough cash for the next 9-12 months”; and this is for a very good reason as the cost of capital when a crunch […]

Valuations of private companies

Trying to value a private company is an art as much as a science. The main starting point is looking for other companies that can be used as comparatives and see how they are valued.  To those metrics, then adjustments have to be made depending on factors such as varying growth rates, addressable market size, […]
