8 hours ‘work” a month – 4 short lunches or two long ones! And if you add the £15,000 upfront payment in February 2019, his hourly rate goes up to £468.75!

Owl cannot find any informative on “Enbarr Fund”, although there are other companies with the name Enbarr in them. So, what is “Imprimature Capital” to which it is linked? Hard to say – this is how they describe themselves:
“We are an international boutique science and technology investor. We specialise in medium and long term intellectual property (IP) opportunities, emerging from a unique international network, including leading universities and research institutions.
Established in 2003, and headquartered in London, we are a direct investor and a UK FCA regulated fund management company. We collaborate and partner internationally with experienced investment, finance and technology professionals, including our own high-net-worth and institutional shareholders, to deliver a return on investment.”

Owl finds this somewhat difficult to understand. In translation, it seems to imply they simply exist to make shedloads of money for rich clients!
