Podcasts about tech north

Claire Lewis, CEO and co-founder of Baltic Ventures, discusses Liverpool's rapidly growing tech scene, how there's now an understanding that tech investment must be spread across the whole UK, and some of the common mistakes that founders make.  Baltic Ventures is a not-for-profit accelerator located in Liverpool. Based in the city's Baltic Triangle, the accelerator is aiming to address the funding imbalance for early-stage startups outside of London, with a focus on the North West. Lewis, who began her career as a chartered accountant, previously founded a sustainable ecommerce company. After it was acquired, she worked for an investment bank supporting tech for good startups, before launching Tech North, which went on to become part of Tech Nation.

Host: Ken Valledy (Partner/Co-founder at Progressive)Progressive helps organisations unlock and commercialise new growth opportunities more rapidly than their competition and more effectively than traditional innovation programmes.The Catalysts Podcast focuses on the key benefits of corporates and startups working together and how these partnerships can become a catalyst for change for the future. In each episode we will discuss a key topic area behind these partnerships with either a startup or a senior corporate stakeholder.In today's episode, I want to focus on an area that is crucial towards a successful corporate /startup partnership and that is the importance (for a startup) to identify and be very clear on their value proposition. Lots of great opportunities are lost between a startup and a corporate because from the first initial meeting, the start-up isn't clear in defining the value that they can bring to the table. To help me in this quest, I am really pleased to have as my guest Naomi Timperley who is a Growth and Innovation Consultant with GSI and Co founder of Tech North Advocates. We cover many questions, including Why the Value proposition is so crucial and why it can be very difficult to articulate. The pitfalls of not nailing your Value proposition and   the role that corporates can play when assessing a startups proposition and Roadmap vision.Naomi's contact details:Twitter :  https://twitter.com/naomitimperley LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/naomitimperley To find out more about Progressive, please contact us on:Email: Ken@thisisprogressive.comWebsite:  https://www.thisisprogressive.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/18066213/admin/Twitter: https://twitter.com/Progressive_HQ

Richard Gregory is an influential figure on the UK Tech scene. He founded Latitude Digital Marketing and spent 12 years on the rollercoaster, building the business to a £59 million turnover; just twelve months later the business was in a tail spin. Richard went on to become the director of Tech North, drawing on many of the lessons he learned at Latitude to drive the organisation forward and through its transformation to Tech Nation. He is also the driving force behind SASCon (Search, Analytics and Social Conference) and now divides his time between three exciting tech startups as a non-executive director. In this honest interview, Richard shares his journey and the five key strategies he uses to drive a business forward. As Richard says, ‘any turkey can fly into a tornado, but what matters is what you learn when you dig deep'.

As a new year begins, thoughts turn to the future. But how do we see the year - or the decade - ahead? Do we think that things will get better, that our lives will improve, or will we be stuck in a gloomy mind-set that suggests that the world is going to hell in a handcart? Can we imagine a truly prosperous world where everyone lives in peace - a true utopia? Does the concept of utopia represent an unattainable ideal – or the kind of idealistic ambition that can promote change in the real world? Debates about technological progress seem to vacillate wildly between utopianism and dystopianism. At a time when innovation is universally celebrated and culturally validated, it also appears to be in a constant state of crisis. Utopian optimism seems destined to remain divorced from practical applications, useful only in terms of blue-sky thinking. But are the constraints on innovation a matter largely of investment and official focus, or are there cultural and intellectual issues too? This Battle of Ideas debate offered a chance to explore our attitudes to the future.
