A question we’ve all been asking ourselves over the years. I’m Adam Ridgway, a multi-award-winning entrepreneur with a varied background. From building a successful events company whilst at school, to a Media group and currently an EV start-up. With nine personal ventures and seven external investments under my belt, I have garnered wisdom and experience throughout my career. Now it’s for me to give back.
During my journey I’ve raised and secured finance in excess of $190million as well as successfully exiting four companies (acquisition).
In addition to my own ventures, I offer advice to other startups so they don’t make costly mistakes. It all started back in high school when I noticed that some students didn’t want to do their homework while others were more than happy to help out for a fee! Ever since then, I’ve been passionate about building companies built on trust and experiences – not just technology. So if you’re looking for someone who might just be able to help you in your business decision making, please do get in touch.
As a sustainabilist, a father, speaker and entrepreneur driven by purpose. My journey started in Europe where I was in the media industry for 10 years. After that, I moved to the UAE where I managed a portfolio of start-up companies and built four businesses over 14 years.
I’m currently the founder and CEO of ONE MOTO – an award-winning EV ecosystem focused on changing the way we move. I specialise in sustainable product development, tech-driven vehicles and delivering future mobility solutions to everyday commuters and logistics sector.
I’m also a speaker on Future and Smart Mobility, as well as a mentor for aspiring entrepreneurs looking to make their mark in the region. My aim is to inspire others to bring change, take calculated risks and make inexpensive mistakes.
I believe stories have the power to bring people together and create real change. My goal is to find ways to use stories to share powerful messages that can inspire others and motivate them to take action. That’s why I’m passionate about creating purpose-driven ideas that make a lasting impact.
As you’re here, you must be in a position to want some questions answered?! Well, I’m glad. I’ve created the One Founder To Another platform as a way of giving back to the start up and business community. It isn’t always easy, and surrounding yourself with great people, helps a great deal!
