After 10 years as a journalist for the Financial Times, latterly as Growing Business Correspondent, Richard was now considering a job offer from Top Technology Limited (TTL), a UK venture capital company focusing on high-tech start-ups. Richard''s deliberations had been upset, however, by the recently announced departure of one of TTL''s four investment managers.
