“When I first met Bernard, he advised me out of investing in starting a software development in the medical space, by making a lot of practical sense about the market and resources. Later I contacted Bernard about my next  start-up which was software for surgeon’s self-audit. I was and am passionate about this project but I lacked time and software technology experience to manage it.  Bernard took on board and analysed the poorly working prototype. After a thorough search and evaluation of software vendors, we placed it with the most appropriate software company for the job. Bernard managed all the interfacing between myself (as the medical founder) and the external software company, as well as dealing with the major accounts.  Bernard reviewed and edited the scope and specifications for the additional features and improvements to the software. On a day-to-day basis Bernard mentored me in business and technology, drafted and negotiated contracts and introduced software quality assurance through testing and reporting. Bernard contributed with his advice and guidance to my advisory board.  The result of this collaboration is a successful software tool for many surgeons. “
