On this episode of Investor Connect, Hall welcomes Guy Remond, Co-founder and Partner at EHE Capital.

Headquartered in Altrincham, England, EHE Capital Limited is a highly efficient tech-led private equity organisation with a genuine focus on supporting entrepreneurs through their companies’ high growth stage through to a successful conclusion. They also provide qualified, high-quality deal flow for investors, private equity, and venture capital organisations. 

Guy’s working career began in retail, where he enjoyed an eleven-year stint in various managerial positions. Following this, he followed his passion for anything technical and branched out on his own into the technical world. In 2001 he was a founding member and CEO of Cake Solutions Limited, and over the next 16 years, he directly oversaw the development of the business from a small start-up to that of an international, multi-million-pound company respected as being at the cutting edge of engineering and process in the open-source software development world. 

After being recognised in the Deloitte UK Technology Fast 50 and being viewed as one of the most unique, forward-thinking, and fast-growth companies in the industry, Cake Solutions Limited was acquired by a multinational corporation, and the business was subsequently rebranded as Disney Streaming Services, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of a company owned by The Walt Disney Corporation.

As a creative and widely experienced individual with a keen focus on personal development, company culture, and process improvement, Guy has invested in a number of companies and is actively working with these companies in a non-executive director or chairman role, helping them to fulfill the leadership's drive to a successful outcome. 

Guy is building two new organisations with his business partners Gary Fletcher and Dave Zumpano. 

In addition to his working commitments, Guy dedicates time to charitable activities. For well over a decade, he has worked with Variety - the Children's Charity in a number of voluntary roles, currently acting as the Chairman for the North West region in the UK and more recently as a Trustee for the organisation.

Guy shares his background and gives insight into starting a business in the area of private equity. He describes some of the opportunities and challenges and how he differs from his competitors.
