alarm:clock euro Venture Quiz Winner

Chris Clothier1.JPGThe winner of our quiz this week is Chris Clothier of MMC Ventures in the UK. He was the first to write in with the correct answer to this question:
Name the partner at an early stage British venture capital firm who is the son of the creator of George Smiley?

The answer: Simon Cornwell of Amadeus

Cornwell's father is Richard Cornwell whose pen-name is John Le Carre, the author that created the George Smiley character.

Honourable mention goes to Sam Snelson, a Research Associate at Library House whose answer landed in our inbox a few minutes later.
