In an episode of two halves, we talk to Amy Weatherup about two decades leading iTeams and her personal journey before and since.
iTeams bridges the gap between students who are experts in their own sector, and entrepreneurs and innovators who are looking to drive commercialisation and turn their ideas to reality.
Amy tells us more including three lessons she’s learnt along the way:
Technology is far earlier than you think it is
It’s going to cost you a lot more money
IP and patents are only part of what you have.
We then talk about Amy’s own career at the start of the commercial internet, and supporting schools to startups. We cover:
Being a young entrepreneur
Building a company, quickly, and keeping cash flowing
Contracts with some of the largest electronics companies
How securing funding has changed over the last decades
Being open with corporates
Angel investing
Paying it forward.
In this week's Cambridge Tech News we feature Nyobolt, Cellexcel, and Growth Hub.
