Startup Surgery: Free advice from Series B expert Simon Carmichael

The latest guest in our Startup Surgery series is corporate finance specialist Simon Carmichael, head of private placements and venture sellsides and director at Torch Partners.

Specialising in helping more established tech companies make that next big funding round, Carmichael recently helped London's Huddle scoop that $10.2m funding deal in May, Borro.com's £10m funding deal in May and Just-Eat's £10.5m in Series A funding last October.

Whether you're a startup who has already raised that crucial first round, has a recognised VC on board and dreams of being the next Facebook - or a grand idea that just needs the right connections, Carmichael has a wealth of experience in refining your proposition to take your business to the next level.

And that expertise can be yours in Tuesday's Guardian Tech Weekly podcast. You've got to be in it to win it, so post your question or problem below and we'll put them to Simon during the programme. You can also tweet questions to @jemimakiss if you prefer.

Deadline is the end of Thursday, 23 September.
