With the business world still abuzz from Paul Graham of Y combinators article on #FounderMode, we want to know your thoughts? "Hire good people and give them room to do their jobs. Sounds great when it's described that way, doesn't it? Except in practice, judging from the report of founder after founder, what this often turns out to mean is: hire professional fakers and let them drive the company into the ground.

We specialise in working with Scotland’s entrepreneurs and business owners to preserve and grow their own wealth, many of whom seek to deploy their own capital, time and resources to help others also achieve success. It is essential that we help to connect those seeking investment opportunities in high growth businesses with those seeking growth capital. Scotland has fantastic innovative start-ups, but we need to expand the investor base providing growth capital where it really matters. Invest2Scale seeks to help change that by bringing investors to Scotland and showcasing the opportunities to invest in scaling companies here – a land where the ideas are plentiful, the people are ingenious and ambitious, and where investors can find tremendous value.” CT: Accountants Advisers MBM Commercial LLP Eden Scott Cazenove Capital
