#102 Eldon Jobe - The risks worth taking

Eldon talks to us about the risks worth taking!

We talk about:

  • Just winging it in his first business but still managing to do well.
  • Raising £1.2 million in VC money to get a business going.
  • And how he is still able to do a wheelie and bunny hops on his son’s BMX!

Eldon is a serial entrepreneur who has co-founded several tech and recruitment businesses over the last 20 years. From recruiting in software and tech to founding an IT recruitment company, Eldon's journey then took him on to co-found a software company designed to help the recruitment industry.

After several years of working in Software, Eldon got the urge to return to Recruitment and co-founded a niche recruitment business specialising in IT infrastructure, Software and Cybersecurity.

In every business Eldon has been involved in, there was one recurring theme. The mysterious dark art of cybersecurity was always both expensive and difficult to get right, yet was becoming increasingly important, yet overly complicated. This became the driving force behind Eldon Co-Founding Melius Cyber.
