Sector Expertise

"Having been recommended to meet with ICON, we were immediately impressed by James' appreciation for our business, his understanding of the funding market as well as his knowledge of the key institutions and individuals that we should speak to.

He worked with us to develop our strategy and played an instrumental part in liaising between management, incumbent investors and prospective new investors to help us close a new round of funding in under 3 months from start to finish. I would definitely recommend ICON."
