This fortnight's guest is Laura Jane Silverman. LJ is Head of LSE Generate, the London School of Economics’ award-winning Entrepreneurship Hub that she set up in 2018 to support the School’s students and alumni to develop entrepreneurial skills as they build businesses and innovate in the UK and around the world. To date, Generate has supported over 20,000 LSE entrepreneurs as they validate, build and scale their businesses, innovating, in line with the LSE motto, ‘for the betterment of society.’

In this episode, we cover
