'Sheaf Valley: A show about Sheffield's startups' is a podcast dedicated to Sheffield's startup ecosystem aiming to increase the visibility of startups and startup organisations in our city. 'Sheaf Valley' is supported by Sheffield Technology Parks, one of the integral parts of Sheffield's ecosystem.
In this new rubric, 'Around the UK', I'm talking with founders from other cities in the UK to get their unique insights on their ecosystems and learn about new interesting businesses. The first episode is with Lucy Blackley, founder of Bombyx PLM. Lucy comes from a fashion background and Bombyx PLM was created after she identified how a lot of time goes into admin tasks and this time could be better utilised in solving way more important problems like sustainability and ethics in manufacturing.
Make sure you follow 'Sheaf Valley' on Twitter or connect with my personal account on LinkedIn to get updates on new episodes and to get recommendations on great books and resources for your startup. Also, visit the official website and learn about initiatives that I'm trying to build from the ground.
Thank you for listening and wishing you a wonderful day!
Sheaf Valley: A show about Sheffield's startups is a podcast created to support Sheffield's startup ecosystem by giving a platform for startup founders or employees, investors or any stakeholders and increase the visibility for local businesses.
In this episode I spoke with Lahari, an Enterprise Manager at University of Sheffield. Lahari started her role right before the Covid-19 pandemic and has had a strange but productive year. Now a pre-accelerator project has started at Uni of Sheffield and Lahari shares more about it with us, but also talks about books and what is needed for one to succeed as an entrepreneur.
Sheaf Valley is supported by Sheffield Technology Parks, a local organisation supporting startups wih incubation projects, office space, tailored advice and more.
Connect with my personal account on LinkedIn or follow me on Twitter here and take part in the giveaway which starts on Monday. I'm giving out two books from the ones that guests recommended.
Visit my website to learn about the projects I'm testing.
