Excellent interview. This woman knows what she is talking abou. A wealth of knowledge not only in her field but in the general investing spectrum as well.

Mikey hasn’t got enough money to buy here!! Typical keyboard warrior. Acts big behind computer with his 400 posts lol. Watch & learn!! Degsy been around the block more times than you had spam sandwiches!! One approval in place then you watch this baby fly!!

Not really, you try buying?? It’s near impossible to get a decent chunk here. I’m in knowing that this woman has the skin to make me a multi millionaire. Name me one other director on AIM that’s crested shareholder value and coming to do it again? Last was Cove Energy. That was 11 years ago!! Zero to £500M in 2 years. Now she has access to all of IMTKs tier one world class clients likes of Shell, Exxon and the rest.

Not really look at the volume and Market cap here. Once news comes VM won’t be messing around. Last company went from zero to £500M so there is a lot of money waiting to go in ;-)) This won’t stay around these levels for long!!

Vin Murria OBE is Deputy Chairman of finnCap, whose career has included a combination of venture capital, private equity and CEO/operational experience, centred around 20 years of M&A activity in the software sector.

Vin is a partner at Elderstreet Investments and, until recently, CEO of Advanced Computer Software plc, which she founded in 2008. Advanced is a consolidator in the healthcare and business solutions sector which, in March 2015, accepted a cash offer of £765m, from Vista Equity Partners, a software and technology-focused private equity firm.

Prior to this, Vin was CEO of Computer Software Group plc, a small shell which she joined Sept 2002. Five years later in 2007 after a period of strong organic and inorganic growth Vin and her team took the business private, backed by HG Capital for £100m, and subsequently following two further strategic acquisitions and a merger exited the merged entity to the US private equity vehicle Hellman Friedman for £500m (circa $800m).

Vin is Non-Executive Director at FTSE250 companies Zoopla plc and Softcat plc, and a Strategic Global Advisor at Rothschilds. Her previous roles include NED at Chime plc and Greenko plc, both of which have just recently been acquired by Private Equity (Providence and GIC, respectively); COO for Kewill Systems plc (which exited at a valuation of $1.8bn); Advisory Board of Signia Wealth Management; and NED of Concateno plc.

In 2007, Vin formed and funded the PS Foundation, a charitable foundation targeted at educating and supporting women in India and the UK.

"It may come as a surprise to readers that Vin hadn't been awarded an honour before," he said. "After all, in the view of many - in particular myself - Vin [has been] one of the most successful women in the UK technology arena over the last 20-plus years.

"On top of that, [she is] a role model to all - women and men alike."

Which broker are you using?

Aim-listed Advanced Computer Software has agreed to a £725m takeover by US private equity firm Vista Partners, despite the chief executive admitting a reluctance to sell out to private equity.
Advanced Computer Software (ACS), which listed on Aim in 2008 with a £32m market value, provides IT services to healthcare companies and NHS walk-in centres.
The company has grown rapidly by making 16 acquisitions in the past six years and has increased revenues by 68pc over the past year.

However, Vin Murria, chief executive, told The Telegraph that despite the group's deal team being busier than ever this year it has struggled to continue its acquisition strategy because would-be targets have taken advantage of the listings boom or private equity players have been able to pay a much higher price due to cheap leverage.
Ms Murria pointed to Apax's recent takeover of Dutch software firm Exact and HG Capital's buy of rival healthcare IT firm Allocate Software in October as examples of missed opportunities. ACS had been aiming to do deals worth between £300m and £600m

Ms Murria said that ACS "had received lots of buyout approaches from private equity and we kept batting them away."

I agree this should be 10 x higher from the start.
