DV is involved in the London Business School's "foundation for entrepreneurial management" and has been since 2001 when Jon was appointed an Entrepreneur in residence.

Every year DV takes on 1-2 mentees from the LBS MBA program and offers free mentoring, connections, advice and assistance.

This assistance is very selective and DV chooses a student with LBS from each year's intake.

Since 2001 DV has also worked with a range of students helping them shape their ideas, write business plans and prepare for presentations.

Here is what some of the past students have said about us:

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all of your support, time and advice during the Entrepreneur Summer School of 2004. I really appreciated your frank and “straight to the point” advice and comments and believe you had a significant impact in changing my business approach." Jason Neal, CEO, Omniglobe

"I would fully recommend Jon to anyone looking for impartial advice. That's not to say working through the issues Jon raised was easy - far from it in fact!. But his suggestions were always thoughtful and resoundingly practical. He has a great ability to present complex interelated issues in a logical way which speaks to his years of entrepreneurial experience" Matthew Ansted

"It is without hesitation that I would recommend Jon as a mentor to other aspiring entrepreneurs, both personally and professionally. Wihout his guidance it is unlikely I would be where I am today and for that I am truly thankful." Peter Ward, CEO, WhereAreYouNow
