Laura Hood joins us from Anglia Capital Group (ACG) talks to us about the angel investment network and the Halo Programme.

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?

In an episode of two halves, we talk to Amy Weatherup about two decades leading iTeams and her personal journey before and since.

iTeams bridges the gap between students who are experts in their own sector, and entrepreneurs and innovators who are looking to drive commercialisation and turn their ideas to reality.

Amy tells us more including three lessons she’s learnt along the way:

· Technology is far earlier than you think it is

· It’s going to cost you a lot more money

· IP and patents are only part of what you have.

We then talk about Amy’s own career at the start of the commercial internet and supporting schools to startups. We cover:

· Being a young entrepreneur

· Building a company, quickly, and keeping cash flowing

· Contracts with some of the largest electronics companies

· How securing funding has changed over the last decades

· Being open with corporates

· Angel investing

· Paying it forward.
