Podcast appearances and mentions of Peter Cowley

In this episode of our podcast, we had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Peter Cowley about the important role accelerators play in the success of start-ups. We explored crucial topics such as the ideal timing for a start-up to seek accelerator support, how to choose the right accelerator, and the significant impact accelerators have on the overall growth of a company. Additionally, we explored the details of equity arrangements within these settings. During our discussion, we asked several key questions to Dr. Cowley, including an explanation of what an accelerator programme is and how it differs from other forms of start-up support, the key benefits entrepreneurs can gain from participating in accelerator programmes, and how to identify and choose the right accelerator. We also discussed the role of mentorship in the success of start-ups within accelerator programmes, the qualities successful accelerator applicants typically possess, and how accelerator programmes assist start-ups in navigating the complexities of IP commercialisation. Dr. Cowley also shared his insights on the importance of having a clear IP strategy before entering an accelerator programme and his vision for the future of accelerator programmes and their impact on the start-up ecosystem. Join us for an insightful conversation as Dr. Cowley shares his extensive experience and expertise, providing invaluable advice for entrepreneurs considering accelerator support for their start-ups.

Richard interviews BBC Journalist Dougal Shaw about his book CEO Secrets based on the BBC Series CEO secrets in which he interviewed 100s of CEOs. When Dougal first began as a business journalist at BBC, he wasn't particularly interested in the topic. Prior to his new career, he was training for doctorate in history. He began creating content for social media, interviewing CEOs who found themselves in the BBC offices. He then shifted to producing miniseries, talking to different CEOs every single week. Dougal has taken years of interviews and analyzed them for patterns in the lives and behaviors of CEOs. The pattern that stood out most was the difference between CEOs who founded their own company, and CEOs who hadn't, what Dougal refers to as “corporate climbers.” The founders were brasher, more prone to extemporaneous speech, and sometimes quite eccentric. Meanwhile, the corporate climbers were highly-prepared and behaved like participants in a job interview. He also noticed certain traits among the younger founders. Many of them, reassuringly, appeared to be wise beyond their years. This early maturity was frequently catalyzed by a traumatic event in their family like divorce or death. Entrepreneurship for some became like a coping strategy. It was something they could throw themselves into at an early age. Dougal also discusses the challenges of interviewing CEOs, especially when they bring along their PR teams to coach them. Getting past the censors is one his goals, especially when his agenda differs from the CEO's. Dougal views himself as somewhat of a psychologist, attempting to coax real and authentic answers out of his interviewees. The best answers for the audience are ones that surprise, not boilerplate jargon.  As well as focussing on ideas in the book they discuss who he would have liked to interview, and what Dougal is going to do next.

Please be aware this podcast talks about sensitive issues including cancer, alcoholism, and suicide.Most people will know Peter Cowley through his hugely successful career as one of Europe's best known angel investors. #CamTechPod was at the launch of Peter's latest book Public Success, Private Grief in which he details for the first time the succession of tragic events which have shaped his life and fuelled his relentless drive and ambition.In a fireside chat with Louisa Preston who spent over fifteen years as a news reporter on the BBC, ITN, Channel 4 and ITV, Peter discusses:- His inspiration as an entrepreneur and investor- Treating his cancer like another project- Experiencing bereavement from a young age and losing two sons- The advice he would give his younger self- What he hopes the book will achieve- Working on his bucket list: running two half marathons this year, sleeping on Antarctica- Helping charity and encouraging others to do so.

Peter Cowley is a successful angel investor. But it was his tragic private life which prompted this interview.  Two of his three children lost to suicide; their mother died unexpectedly; his sister lost to alcoholism; his brother died aged 21 from cancer; two decades in recovery from alcoholism; and he has now been diagnosed with terminal Stage 4c cancer and statistically has 9 months to live. In this interview, Peter calls himself fortunate. Since meeting Peter, not a day has passed that Steve has not thought about this remarkable man and day felt grateful for his lot. Hopefully the podcast will also make people aware of how common suicide is among young men. Show Notes

In this episode of the HealthTech Hour, Steve Roest speaks to two people he's known for a long time - Peter Cowley and Craig Maxwell. Peter and Craig share the same terminal cancer diagnosis and share a similar reaction to this extremely traumatic event - relentlessly focus on how to bring positivity and real impact to other people's lives instead of shrinking back into themselves. They both opted-in to make the very best of their situation and be a positive role model for positivity in the face of adversity for friends, families and other cancer sufferers. They both dedicated themselves to a higher cause, a purpose, that is a source of energy when times are tough. Both are incredibly inspiring examples of Post Traumatic Growth, a condition where the very worst of events brings out the very best in people as a result. In Peter's case, his diagnosis was compounded by some truly terrible events within his family which we discuss on the show.Peter Cowley is a serial entrepreneur and angel investor, publisher and author of his latest book, ‘Public Success, Private Grief.'Craig Maxwell was diagnosed with terminal stage 4 lung and bone cancer (EGFR) at the age of 40. He has since embarked on a series of extraordinary challenges to raise vital funds for families facing similar battles.Find Peter's book, "Public Success, Private Grief" on Amazon - https://www.ps-pg.com/ Find and donate to the Maxwell Foundation here - https://maxwell.foundation/

Richard and Kimon talk to Peter Cowley, angel investor and author of the book, Public Success, Private Grief. Peter started his career as a software engineer, moving to Germany after graduating from college. He returned to the United Kingdom in 1984, where he embarked on a career as an entrepreneur. He's started over a dozen companies, worked closely with 7 different charities, and angel-invested in over 70 companies. Peter also has late-stage cancer, launching Project Cancer to document his experience and increase awareness. Now 68, Peter was recently diagnosed with a type of lung cancer that affects non-smokers and is difficult to detect. Peter does not expect that current treatment will be effective, and is dedicating much of his remaining time to passing on the life lessons he's learned. Peter's bravery in the face of terrible illness is most visible in vulnerability talking about the challenges he's faced in life.  Too often in the world of entrepreneurship and business, people downplay their struggles. Peter is an example of a business person with a holistic worldview, recognizing that there is more to life than mere monetary rewards.  Through Project Cancer, Peter documents his own experience with cancer. He's featured interviews with researchers, and his personal oncologist, and examined the UK's healthcare system, the NHS.  In Public Success, Private Grief, Peter opens up about more than just his ongoing struggle with cancer. He also discusses his family life, including bravely sharing his experience of losing two children. Peter is also a recovering alcoholic, having a family history of addiction.  Along with his wife, Peter wrote Public Success, Private Grief to show how people can process experiences of extreme tragedy and still maintain love and a sense of optimism about the positive aspects of life.  Peter has created a 350-day plan of the things he wants to do while he is still able. Public Success, Private Grief is slated for publication on April 17, 2024. Much of his time will serve in the release and promotion of this deeply personal self-help memoir.  In addition, Peter is planning a trip to Antarctica and has begun arranging short one-on-ones with various close friends. Some of his plans include taking a stand-up comedy course and eating at Michelin-star restaurants.  Peter describes the medical regimes he's undertaken, highlighting how through his treatment, he's remained active. Peter has run and half marathon and gotten married in the Galapagos. While many people suffering from a terminal illness might become less active, Peter credits his entrepreneurial taste for measured risk as an inspiration to keep living life fully.  Truly a one of a kind, Peter is unlike any guest Richard and Kimon have ever had on the Entrepreneurship and Leadership podcast. He has managed to turn his adversities into strengths, portraying the messy realities of life to contribute more value to others.  Preorder Public Success, Private Grief About Peter Cowley Invested Investor Invested Investor on the New Books Network Learn more about your ad choices.

We also celebrate his recent marriage to Lis before talking about his career and the advice he openly shares.Peter is a distinguished serial entrepreneur – from running a mobile discotheque when he was a student to a 40-year-old tech company owner with all the ups and downs you'd expect; as well as a portfolio of businesses from publishing and property. He tells us how he stumbled into becoming an angel, with that first ‘exit' with Martin Kleppman, that made it all possible. And shares some of the successes and failures likening angel investment to a ‘marriage contract you can't break'.Tune in for a unique insight into a remarkable man.Produced by Carl Homer.

In this episode, meet Peter Cowley - serial entrepreneur and angel investor, board member of the Global Business Angel Network (GBAN) and President Emeritus of the European Business Angel Network (EBAN) - as he walks us through the lessons he learned while founding and running 14 businesses in technology, property and publishing, over the last 40+ years, and while building a portfolio of 76 angel investments over the last decade - 11 positive exits (one of which at 107X, paying back all invested cash), 14 failures, 51 still living. Peter explains his investment criteria (The Team and the CAC CLV Ratio, The Product and The Finances) and talks about the importance of trust and chemistry not only between investors, but also between investors and the investees. He also describes what a good relationship between founders looks like and points out the reasons why investors leave. In addition, Peter gives us his honest point of view about the advantages and disadvantages of university spin-outs, the implications of not having enough financial knowledge as an entrepreneur or about his energy and drive resources, that help him push his limits and do so many things in life. “I really enjoy learning. And particularly, I enjoy spending time with people of all sorts of age or younger. The Millennials, I just absorb so much from them”, Peter says. Listen to this episode to learn more about:

Jelena Aleksic came to Cambridge to do a PhD in genetics but soon realised she had an entrepreneurial spirit. She started two businesses on the side during her study, but it wasn’t until she obtained funding for Gene Adviser did she work full time on a startup. Jelena was successfully funded 350K from investors, including Peter Cowley. Unfortunately, the business failed, but Jelena learnt some vital lessons which she shares in this podcast. Geneticist turned entrepreneur. Jelena is passionate about the potential of biotechnology to improve patients' lives.  She is the former CEO and co-founder of GeneAdviser, an online ordering platform for genomic medicine now owned by the NHS. As a postdoc at the University of Cambridge, Jelena studied the epigenetics of a rare genetic disorder, Dubowitz syndrome. Patients told her of the struggle they faced to find a diagnosis – on average six year, with visits to eight doctors. She built the GeneAdviser platform to make it faster and easier for doctors to order cutting-edge genetic tests.  Furthermore, Jelena is a director of the charity TReND in Africa, working to improve scientific capacity in Africa. She find it exciting to promote different causes and help organisations grow.
