Ooft. That was brutal 😳 Only 3 minutes. 3 minutes to say quite a lot about your startup. The problem, solution, business model, competitive advantage, market size, current business status, team and ask. If you run out of time you get muted 😅 Thanks to the team at Plug and Play University Pitch Sessions for inviting me to pitch alongside 33 other startups from the University of Manchester, Glasgow and Edinburgh. We were joined by 69 VCs and 10 Corporate Partners and I have to say it was such a smooth operation. It's amazing the story you can tell if you focus the mind. I completed my pitch with 5 seconds to spare, which was a challenge after doing a 7 minute pitch the day before 🥳 Thanks to Hendrik Cornelissen and the team for their superb operational skills both on the screen and behind the scenes. Now, it's time to relax for the weekend! Any tips on how to do that 🤔 🤣 #pitching #investmentpitch #founderstory #seis #healthtech #startup

Super excited to be kicking off the first VentureVersity Accelerator Cohort courtesy of the University of Leicester, De Montfort University and Loughborough University (my home town) with Leicester Startups and the amazing Sam Larke. What's really cool about this accelerator is that we are going all in on #leanstartup and #customerdiscovery. The scientists and researchers on the programme have some amazing IP but right now we don't know if anyone out in the real world cares. So we're not going to build awesome products that no one wants. Instead we are going to #getoutofthebuilding and discover who has got problems that this IP can solve. The bigger the problems the better - then build products and solutions that solve those problems. Rocket science? You might think so given the National Space Centre in Leicester. In reality everyone who makes the jump and listens to customers finds it transformative for their startup.

"Don’t go broke by next Tuesday." Ewan Kirk - on a core pillar of business at the Cambridge Future Tech Founders Development Day. This really resonates with me! ⚡️ ⚡️ The most important job of any CEO or Founder is simple: Don’t run out of money. A CB Insights study on “Why Startups Fail” cites running out of money as the number one reason startups fail. In reality, it’s pretty much the ONLY reason . As a CEO, the most important date (it should be tattooed onto the back of one’s eyelids!) is the date the company might go under. Knowing this date, and doing everything possible to push this date further back, allows the company time for Plan A to work; and if Plan A fails, to be able to enact Plans B, C, or D. Things never go to plan; a company’s cash out date should never be a surprise. https://lnkd.in/eMqYTXpz #startups #deeptech #foundersdevelopmentday
