Dine with Danny Meaney: What I look for when I invest in a startup or buy an existing business

We’re looking forward to tomorrow night’s dinner at The Green, Clerkenwell.

We’ll enjoy dinner, drinks & a chance to meet fellow entrepreneurs, followed by an after-dinner talk and informal Q&A with Danny Meaney. The topic of conversation for the evening is what he looks for when he invests in a startup or buys an existing business. Take the chance to dine with Danny and talk to him one on one about your business.
