About

Jonny Laughton was on the founding team of Star, an early UK ISP, in 1995, and later moved to its sister company MessageLabs to expand the UK business across Europe and beyond. After that exit, he founded the Sarum Oncology Fund, which invested in diagnostics and medtech businesses focused on cancer, before returning to B2B SaaS and establishing Armada Ventures to raise institutional capital for Series A and B SaaS companies. His observations about gaps in the funding market shaped the early thinking behind Volution.
