Cambridge Executive MBA Candidate | Associate Director - Global Medical Affairs, Oncology - Gilead | Healthcare & Biopharma | Opinions my own
🌟I recently had the honour and pleasure of attending an amazing event organised by Founders Live with my eMBA classmate Daniel Bonner 🌟 ⏰ The highlight of the evening was watching founders pitch their businesses in just 99 seconds! Following each pitch, we had 4 minutes to provide feedback and ask questions, diving deeper into their innovative ideas. The audience then had the tough job of voting for the winning pitch out of the five incredible founders.👨🏾⚖️ 👏🏾 A very well done to all the businesses who pitched and to the winner! 🥇 Founders and startups are the driving force behind innovation, and it was inspiring to witness the vibrant energy and sense of community that Founders Live fosters for entrepreneurs on their journey. 🧭 Connecting with a diverse group of individuals—including founders, investors, patent attorneys, and service providers—was a real privilege and very eye opening on what is trending within various areas, including #biotech, #healthcare and #AI. A huge thank you to Founders Live for providing this invaluable platform, and to Mills & Reeve and Dave Hailey for hosting such a fantastic event. 🙏 Looking forward to the next one in September! 😁

It's a double post sort of day... With the busyness of this week, one post about the various events wasn't going to cut it. And Founders Live deserved it's own! For those of you who aren't aware of the concept, the founders of five local businesses get 99 seconds to pitch to a room of potential investors, advisers and other business owners. Then the audience get to vote on which was the best! 😬 And this time, with added pressure that the FOUNDER of Founders Live was in the audience. It was great to hear from Nick Hughes about the ten years since he started the business, and how it's gone from monthly sessions in Seattle, to hundreds of events a year in over 120 cities, across 47 countries. But back to our pitchers - we heard from: 🚀 Mohamed E. about Tactful an AI-based customer engagement platform 🚀 Sacha Krstulovic about Understand-AI.today an AI training provider 🚀 Ushnish Sengupta and Federica Freddi about Sqwish AI which is developing compression technology for AI prompts 🚀 Carl-Magnus von Behr about innex.ai which is using AI to help the NHS with infrastructure related governance But most importantly, the evening's winner... 🏆 Monica Saavedra about Lambda agri who are developing a sprayable paint to use tech which helps boost crop yields and a drive to reduce food poverty. Well done to all of the pitchers, as always, it was a wonderful and insightful evening. So proud of Mills & Reeve's involvement of this (thanks to the incredible Zickie Lim), and it's always great to work with the team at UHY Hacker Young (East). Looking forward to the next one already!
