Co-founded Quad Lock. Bootstrapped → Scaled → Exited.
Now Investing & Advising.
Hi, I'm Rob and I co-founded Quad Lock in 2011 with my mate CP and grew it from a Kickstarter project to a global brand before selling to Thule Group in 2024. Now I invest in and advise founders building the next great products and services. I'm not a consultant — I've built, scaled, and exited. I back people doing the same.
