They are real people who take business very seriously, look them up on LinkedIn!  They are both the Co-Founders and Directors of <em>Meg Languages<\/em> which was a company they started 12 years ago.  <em>Meg Languages<\/em> continues to go from strength to strength having been boot-strapped by Tom and Sam to becoming a multi-million dollar Ed Tech business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their inspiration for founding <strong>The Safe Start Up<\/strong> stemmed from conversations that have occurred many times throughout the years with their network that revolved around people wanting to start a business but believing it was too high risk to even try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are high risk paths to starting a business but there are also low risk paths to starting a business and to give everyone the greatest chance of being a successful business owner, Sam and Tom wanted to focus on the latter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope The Safe Start Up philosophy can help you just as it has helped countless others.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kadence-column1529_44e9f4-42 >
