As many of you will know, I recently made the decision to shut down Furrow. I thought I’d start a Substack to document and share my learnings from the journey and keep my network up to date. While there are a lot of reasons, both internal and external, that are laid out below, as the founder/CEO, the ultimate responsibility for Furrow’s failure rests on my shoulders. These factors didn’t happen to me, they were a result of my decisions and leadership. I learnt so much as a result of this journey and these lessons will travel with me into whatever I decide to do next.
Finally set aside the time to read this - comprehensive and reflective without being navel gazing. Huge respect mate for striking out and doing it in the first place.
There’ll always be a place for the straight-up and dynamic like you. Catch up at some point?

Great article James- thanks for sharing! Excited to see what comes next
Although unfortunate, it’s actually pretty impressive what you tried and actually did achieve. Cool read.
Interesting story so far .
I live near Brighton and we get a weekly delivery of local produce from riverford. Talking to them might help moving your work to the next level.

They might be interested in your work.
