He hasn’t been shaving for long, but Bell has already set up and exited four businesses, including teenfront.com, the online magazine he founded at the tender age of 14. He received a considerable exit three years later, and the Newcastle-based entrepreneur has been busy ever since. His most recent venture, QuickTV, provides a B2B service for major brands and e-commerce sites looking for interactive video content for their websites. QuickTV has already raised £1m in funding from a combination of angel and venture capital sources, and Bell aims to raise between £5m and £10m next year to drive aggressive growth plans, which include targeting US agencies immediately. Bell predicts turnover will hit £6m in year two.
