Co-founder & CEO @ trumpet | Collaborative workspaces for revenue teams to centralise buyer journeys | Follow to learn how to increase your sales velocity

At trumpet, we've transformed the sales cycle with collaborative workspaces designed to expedite deal closures. As interactive and auto-personalised microsites, they simplify the pitch-to-onboarding process for over 5,000 companies and their buyers.

“Just email me the proposal.”


This immediately kills deals.

Here’s why walking through proposals live is non-negotiable:

• You control the narrative
• You address objections in real-time
• You avoid any detail being misinterpreted 
• You can continue the discovery (it never stops) 
• You can read the room and adjust your pace, tone etc

The biggest reason though?

You’re not just selling a solution.

You’re selling confidence in the outcome.

And confidence is best built through conversations, not PDFs.

So next time someone says “just send it”, resist, pick up the phone and talk it through.

Hey!

I’m a London-based entrepreneur, angel investor, podcaster, startup mentor and public speaker, whose speciality lies in talking no-nonsense founder/investor advice and help. I'm currently co-founder of new B2B sales tool, trumpet, host of Pitch Deck podcast and co-founder of an angel investing venture-arm, Horseplay Ventures

I previously co-founded DesignMyNight, back in 2010 and managed to grow that over 7 years with minimal angel funding, to 100+ employees, 15,000 SaaS customers and 8m monthly uniques on the website. We exited to Access Group in 2017.

I live for the early stages of startups - building the brand, finding product market fit, iterating quickly and building out a team. Most of my content is centred around this, as well as tips from an angel investor. Even after exiting to financial freedom, I caught the founder bug again and have co-founded my next startup, trumpet, in 2022; looking to disrupt B2B sales and kill the sales pdf deck. Follow me on here while we build out this new journey in public.

Please feel free to ask for any advice or help, whether a founder, startup employee or investor and I will always endeavour to do what I can. I'm also a regular guest on podcasts, startup speaking gigs and webinars, so feel free to reach out to me if you are looking for guests/speakers. 

I do respectfully ask not to be pitched for investment in my Linkedin DMs and instead go through Horseplay Ventures. Hopefully my podcast is also a treasure trove of information for those looking to raise early-stage investment, thinking about it or just interested in it - search for Pitch Deck by Nick Telson.

After backing 80+ founders, I used to mianly bet on the loud traits - grit, vision, hunger. Turns out the best signals are much quieter.

It clicked only after watching my best portco founders operate long after the pitch theatre ended.

Here are the traits that actually separate the builders who break through from the ones who fade out:

- Why-obsessed. They dig until the customer’s true trigger is exposed. If the “why” isn’t sharp, the rest doesn’t matter.

- The personal "why". What personal reasons are they building for? What life events got them to this point.

- Productive self-doubt. They run constant stress-tests on their assumptions. Doubt becomes a tool, not a liability. They never rest on their laurels. 

- Unsexy-detail operators. They sweat the workflows, processes, and GTM plumbing that make revenue real. Vision alone doesn’t.

- Recruitment humility. They hire people who out-think them, then get out of their way.

- Discomfort seekers. Tough conversations, painful pivots, honest feedback, they move toward the friction because that’s where the growth is

Loud traits get attention. 
Quiet ones build companies.
