Unicorns Journal: Where Startup Stories Shine Bright

Chris Ogboke is a serial entrepreneur, growth strategist, and former pro athlete. With over 15 years of experience in startups and corporate innovation, he’s built his career around helping people get access to what matters. His latest venture, Squeez, tackles a familiar frustration: when you want something last minute—like a great restaurant or a tee time—and hear, “no availability.” Squeez brings a new model of access, where texting the owner like a VIP is just one digital handshake away. In this interview, Chris shares how his background in recruiting helped him build a strong advisory board, why valuing time is the next big frontier in consumer tech, and how a near-miss driving home from golf inspired a mission-driven startup.

Jonathan Prescott is the co-founder of Cavefish, a Wales-based startup building emotional AI to bring human feelings into the realm of measurable business intelligence. With a background in brand, strategy, and leadership, Jon has seen firsthand how emotion drives decisions across customers, teams, and boards — yet has long been treated as unmeasurable. His mission with Cavefish is to change that. In this interview, he shares the story behind Cavefish and its product EchoDepth, lessons from building multiple startups, and his vision for making Cavefish Wales’ first unicorn.
