Summary

Eddie Whittingham is a former copper and qualified lawyer from Scunthorpe. But through hard work, a good idea, and a bit of luck, he managed to sell his startup in a multi-million pound exit.

In 4 years, he went from working 9-5 to being a sole founder of a NASDAQ-listed company .

He saw a gap in the cyber-security market, and executed a textbook entrepreneurial plan… despite never being a cyber security expert himself.

Eddie now helps other founders reach their potential, and fast tracks their growth through his new venture, GoFounder.
