Listen Later

Academic careers often rest on the outcome of highly competitive grant schemes. But moving beyond blue sky research also opens up new opportunities, with grants targeted at entrepreneurs, exporters and innovative businesses.


Born in south-west Sydney, Rhys Cornock is a scientist turned business consultant with a broad-based skillset. Initially trained in nanotechnology, Rhys' graduate job put him at the forefront of 3D printing, and eventually lead to the establishment of one of Australia's first clinical 3D printing hubs in St. Vincent's Hospital, Melbourne.

Ever in search of a challenge Rhys swapped his lab coat for a suit and tie in 2014, joining leading consulting firm Ernst and Young to help draft R+D tax incentive grant applications for large corporates. But after two years (and dabbling in van life), Rhys knew it was time to branch out on his own. 

Since establishing his own boutique consultancy Sprout Scientific, Rhys has been focused on the world of startups, helping deep-tech and social enterprise businesses put their best foot forward for public funding. 

Come for the van life, stay for the business advice.
