PnBG#4 Tom Cassidy Education Entrepreneur

Jeremy co-founded his first software business at school and learned guerrilla marketing tactics at shows and events, before joining the start-up called Control-C Software. He loved software engineering but was even more excited by the dark arts of sales and marketing, and ever since his first marketing training he has helped people with their businesses alongside his main job. Fifteen years climbing the corporate ladder ended with successful fundraising for the UK's first ADSL-only Internet Service Provider, since then Jeremy has combined work on his own start-ups, building start-up communities and his day job as a Church of England Minister. Magic Subscriptions is a pivot from another start-up called Rumbly, and with his co-founder Ronnie they're excited to have created a new platform with a fresh take on the high-growth subscription box market.
