Fast Growth: The Venture Studio Way

Welcome to the fourth and final episode of our special A360 mini series of Fast Growth: The Venture Studio Way.

After three episodes recorded live at the Abundance 360 Summit in California, Guy Remond sat down back home in Manchester to step back and ask the bigger question of what all of this actually means for EHE, our AI native tech community, and how we stay ahead of the curve.

The themes covered in this episode are:

• Why this was the first year at Abundance 360 where AI was not just on the agenda but was the agenda, and what that means for businesses still finding their footing
• Why agent swarms are developing faster than most people outside of these rooms realise
• How EHE is applying what it learned directly to its own systems and processes
• Why the speed of change is the single most underestimated force in business right now, and what founders and investors need to do about it

Welcome to this special mini series of Fast Growth : The Venture Studio Way, sharing insights from our recent annual trip to the Abundance 360 Summit in the US.

Rather than waiting until they got home; Guy Remond, Gary Fletcher and Carl Castledine hit record at the end of each of the three days while it was still fresh.

This is three mates chewing the fat on the technologies that are going to reshape the way we live and work and, more importantly, what any of it actually means for us.

Over the first three episodes, they'll be getting into:

• Why the cost of building software is collapsing
• What robotics looks like in real-world deployment right now
• Infrastructure constraints and opportunities
• Why proactive healthcare could be one of the biggest AI winners of them all

Then to close out the series, Guy recorded a final episode back home, stepping back to ask the bigger question of what all of this means for EHE and our AI-native tech community, and how we stay ahead of the curve when it comes to R&D.

The themes covered in this episode are are: 

• Why proactive health screening could be one of the most important investments you make in yourself, and what is now possible that simply was not a few years ago
• The MIT scientist running human trials right now on reversing the ageing process
• How AI is being used to find new treatments for diseases considered untreatable, using drugs that already exist
• What drone delivery, de-extinction and a taser inventor whose father bet everything tell us about backing conviction over convention
• And the surprise guest who closed the conference

Co-investing. Everyone talks about it, but how does it really work behind the scenes?

In this episode of Fast Growth: The Venture Studio Way, we sit down with David Walters, Investment Director at River Capital, and Jack Worne, Head of Investor Relations at EHE, to explore the real dynamics of co-investing in early-stage startups.

We get into: why every company eventually needs more than one investor around the table, what makes a strong co-investment partnership, how VCs actually divide roles post-deal, why collaboration is shaping the North’s investment scene, and how to make co-investment work for founders, not against them.

Whether you're an investor trying to share risk or a founder navigating your first raise, this episode lifts the lid on what co-investing really looks like - and why it’s fast becoming the norm.

Grants aren't just free money, and applying for them isn’t always straightforward. In this episode, we unpack how founders can use public funding alongside private investment to scale smarter.

With insights from Gabriela Isas (Co-founder of Good With) and Hannah Williams (Innovate UK Business Growth), we explore what makes a fundable project, common mistakes to avoid, and how to get started, especially with Innovate UK’s new Growth Catalyst programme.

Six AI investments. One explosive quarter. In this episode, Guy Remond (Co-founder, EHE Ventures) and Neil Vose (CEO, EHE Venture Studio) break down the first wave of startups backed by the EHE AI Growth Fund and why now is the smartest moment to bet on early-stage AI.

We dive into:

• The one-liner on each of our first six portfolio companies
  
  
  
• What traditional investors often get wrong in AI, and how the venture studio model fixes it
  
  
  
• Why “AI fatigue” doesn’t scare us and why we’re doubling down
  
  
  

Whether you're an investor chasing returns or a founder building the next big thing, this episode pulls back the curtain on how momentum really starts and what it takes to scale from day one.

Most founders don’t think about legals until it’s too late.

In this episode, we break down what actually matters when it comes to fundraising paperwork, SEIS/EIS, and cap tables – with two people who’ve seen it all.

Joining us are Dan Reeves, co-founder of SUBJCT, and Aaron Duke from SeedLegals – the platform that's transformed how UK startups handle legals.

We cover:

• Why SEIS Advanced Assurance is a non-negotiable
• How to avoid rookie legal mistakes
• What investors expect before they even think about writing a cheque

If you're raising – or planning to – you need this episode.

Tech debt is inevitable. The trick is knowing where to accept it.

In Part 2 of our MVP deep dive, we go beyond quick wins and surface-level builds to talk about the foundations that actually matter.

Aleksa and Andy explore:

• Why some tech debt is okay—and why some isn’t
• How to recognise your core differentiator (and why it needs to be bulletproof)
• What happens when you underinvest in your MVP’s most important feature
• How to balance speed, quality, and long-term thinking when building early products
• The mindset shift founders need to make to go from MVP to scalable product
  
  This is the side of MVP building that rarely gets talked about—but it’s what separates real startups from fragile experiments.

When does “minimum” become too minimum?

In this two-part episode of Fast Growth: The Venture Studio Way, we dive into the messy middle of MVP building - and why so many startups get it wrong.

EHE’s CTO Aleksa Vukotic is joined by Andy Nicol, founder of Sputnik Digital, for a brutally honest conversation about what it really takes to ship something people want to use (and pay for).

In part 1, you’ll learn:

• Why cutting corners on UX and frontend will cost you more later
  
  
• What a “minimum viable product” really means
  
  
• How to avoid drowning in tech debt before you even launch
  
  
• The only part of your MVP where being scrappy is actually smart
  
  
• Why testing your customer’s patience is not the same as testing your hypothesis
  
  

This episode is packed with hard-earned lessons for early-stage founders and investors who want to build lean - but not broken.
