MARSH ASSETS
A Brief History
In 2012 one man, by the name Jacob Marsh, had a vision. That vision was to ensure the safety and wellbeing of every Raspberry Pi in the universe! Starting small, he designed and manufactured one of the first Raspberry Pi cases to market and thus began a 7 year journey (winning awards along the way!) to build ModMyPi: a fully-fledged global online distribution business for all thing's Pi.
​
In 2019 personal circumstances meant Jacob had to take a step back from world of Pi, and he made the decision to sell the business he'd created, to a friendly competitor, in order to pursue a different path.

Jacob now manages a personal investment portfolio through Marsh Assets, but also offers free advice to fledgling businesses and entrepreneurs, and consultancy services relating to process and business organisation.
Start-up Advice
“Every person you encounter, whom you interact with, is there to teach you something. Sometimes it may be years before you realize what each had to show you.”

Understanding how crucial this assistance can be, he is dedicated to passing on his skills and knowledge at no cost. With his extensive experience and passion for helping others succeed, Jacob is committed to providing valuable insights and guidance to help new ventures thrive. If you're looking advice to kickstart your business, don't hesitate to contact us.
Organisation
“People build something that works. Then circumstances change, and they have to tinker with it to make it continue to work, and they are so busy tinkering that they cannot see that a much better idea would be to build a whole new system to deal with the new circumstances. But to an outsider, the idea is obvious.”

In addition to his impressive entrepreneurial journey, Jacob has a profound passion for organisation in all aspects of life. His experience in building and managing a global distribution business has honed his skills in streamlining processes and optimising structures.
