So, this post is for you if:

Youโ€™re at the stage of your business where youโ€™re feeling that itโ€™s time to come to the table and sign an agreement.

Whether that be a fund, a consulting business, a regenerative land project or a tangible innovation.

Maybe youโ€™ve been having regular conference calls, and the occasional meetup;
