In the early days of a start-up, you need as much help as possible from whatever source you can get.

Today, we speak to Jedo founder Anneliese Urquhart on how she’s managed to assemble a star-studded board for a business yet to have its first birthday.

We also have news of a flurry of start-up funding, from a $2.5 million round here in Australia to Square’s massive raise in the US.
