Whilst Simon’s background is predominantly drug discovery and biotech, his more recent ventures have encouraged a wider scope towards business generation and development, providing strategic management and sales expertise to startups and young ambitious businesses.
An early understanding of what to build and how to pitch it is vital to the success of a startup, whether you’re looking for partners, customers or funding.
In his talk, entitled: ‘How well do you really know your customer?‘, Simon will explore ideas around this topic, using examples from his recent ventures.
This talk will also feature an exclusive pitch from Connell McLaughlin, an aeronautical engineering student who has developed Route Reports, an innovative hazard reporting technology for buses and trains.
The Future Worlds Mentor Masterclass series provides our students and staff with exclusive access to entrepreneurs and industry experts, as well as the opportunity to see pitches and product demos from startups and spinouts in the Future Worlds network.
This is a free event, but registration is required. Click here to book your place.
