Murray joins the Seedrs Advisory Board to provide advice to the firm with respect to businesses working in the health, sport and wearable technology areas, and will also be investing regularly in startups and other early-stage businesses through Seedrs. Murray commented 'I've always been interested in investment, and being able to get involved in an innovative way to help support British startups really appealed to me... I'm looking forward to working with Seedrs and the entrepreneurs of tomorrow'.
