And manual testing, while more accurate, is the most inefficient use of developer time. Companies who choose not to write UI tests to save time struggle to acquire and retain users. Your UI is the only way users experience your product, so if it fails to delight, they'll fail to convert – or even worse, churn.Meeshkan enhances, and in many cases replaces, the "all hands on deck" pre-release testing with beautifully crafted, uncannily realistic artificial hands.Stop guessing. Test what matters. Release with confidence. Supercharge your growth.

I have 30+ years as a founder, operator, investor, board member and advisor. I have founded/co-founded multiple companies and have dealt with cofounder issues directly. I have invested in individual companies that have achieved $2b in revenue, $1b in profit, $30b in valuation. Plus on the other side of the spectrum, I have seen lots ofdifferent poor behaviour by some investors, founders and lawyers. My value add is:
- the ability to quickly filter out the wrong people.
- fundraising
- strategy
- focus
- making tough decisions
- cashflow planningCurrently investing directly in startups (mainly tech) at all stages and in funds (most asset classes) as an LP globally. I invested early in Supercell (majority acquired by Tencent), Unity Software (NYSE:U), Radiant Entertainment (acquired by Riot Games), Boomlagoon (acquired by Wargaming), Peak (acquired by Hachette Livre), Gameclub (acquired by Take-Two Interactive), Doppio Games (acquired by Fortis). Previously, I cofounded a seed VC firm & was an investment banker at various firms. I have both a HBA & MBA from the Richard Ivey School of Business at University of Western Ontario in Canada.If you message me with a pitch deck link for your company or fund then do not send me a docsend link or anything requesting an email and or password as I will ignore it. And make sure you detail the team background, why it’s the best team and why you will win.I’m also open to board positions for companies in Europe and North America.
