Show Notes 97: Putting a halo on entrepreneurship in Norwich



Laura Hood, Business Development Manager for Anglia Capital Group (ACG) talks to us about the angel investment network and the Halo Programme as we expand our reach to the East of England.


Our guest Mark Merrywest tells us that 84% travellers are influenced by social media and Yond brings together a way to book your holiday and activities all in one place. The programme helped to direct the seed of an idea into something funded and ready to launch.


And from the most recent cohort Alex Howard Founder of AAH Software providing clinical research, shares how his company has morphed from services to technology led.


We talk about:

  • How the size of opportunities developed in Norwich might not be the same magnitude as some of the #Cambridge #deeptech startups, but there is still applicability and marketability.

  • Getting guidance on the valuation of a startup

  • The importance of refining your message to the different audiences

  • How important pitch practice is and the subsequent constructive discussion post-pitch – is nice feedback ever useful?

  • And came up with some great ideas

  • An opportunity of getting founders together in a community in Norwich/ the East

  • A call for assistance with Intellectual Property

  • An invitation to potential female investors, and founders, to get involved in an event in September – follow the link for more info https://www.linkedin.com/events/7211684965942489088/about/


In this week's Cambridge Tech News we feature The Rising Festival, ARM, Graphcore, Softbank, Redgate, Darktrace, Zedify and the Business Weekly Awards.
