We spoke to Nick Jenkins, Founder of Moonpig.com, about investing in startups

Nick Jenkins began his career working as a commodity trader for Glencore in Moscow in 1990, just as the Soviet Union collapsed. He returned to the UK in 1998 to begin an MBA, and founded Moonpig.com, the first online, personalised greetings card business, in 2000. He sold it in 2011 for around £120 million. He has been investing in startups since 2008, and was a member of the Impact Ventures UK investment committee – which invests in social enterprises using innovation to find better solutions to social issues in the UK.
