 Event: School for Startups

28 October 2008

Event Category: Member Events Technology entrepreneurs Doug Richard (Micrografx/Corel Corp, Library House, BBC Dragon's Den) and Alex van Someren (Acorn, nCipher) will be holding an inspirational and highly practical one day workshop "School for Startups" in Edinburgh on 28th October, 2008. Doug's combination of having an incredibly fast and sharp legal mind, being genuinely committed to entrepreneurship education and public policy*, and the fact that he has many high-growth-high-tech successes (a few failures) but most importantly a current startup (http://www.trutap.com), makes him unique and deeply engaging. Alex van Someren's lessons from starting and growing nCipher are equally engaging, fun and inspirational.  Doug has created the  based on the New Business Road Test and other academic work of Professor John Mullins from London Business School: http://ecorner.stanford.edu/authorMaterialInfo.html?author=73 As part of the "Informatics Ventures" initiative, we're pleased to let you know that this one day workshop is FREE and OPEN to all staff and students from all Scottish universities and all startups related or unrelated to universities (but preferably tech/software/web startups).
