The show, talks & podcast appearances
I co-host From Inventor to Investable, a show for senior industry experts making the leap from corporate expertise to startup founder.
I also regularly share practical insights on startup validation, Product-Market Fit, and innovation strategy with founder communities, accelerators, and podcasts.
Here you’ll find the show, selected talks, masterclasses, and interviews you can watch or listen to.
The show
From Inventor to Investable
Format: Video series, co-hosted with Akhil Menon, from notNULL Ventures
A YouTube show for senior industry experts asking themselves: could my expertise become a venture?
Each episode unpacks what actually changes in the move from specialist to founder: the evidence investors expect, the commercial thinking that doesn’t come with domain mastery, and the moves that make an expert investable.
Featured Masterclass
De-risking Your Startup for £0: How to Ask the Right Questions Before You Build
Format: 35 minute online masterclass (GoodTech Ventures, London, UK)
An open session for early-stage founders on reducing risk without spending money. I walk through a hypothetical tech startup and show how to surface critical risks, design one zero-cost experiment, and one free tool to help turn uncertainties into experiments.
Podcast & Interview Appearances
Digital Dominators Podcast – Episode #38:
From idea to revenue: How to identify untapped opportunities in your business
In this episode, Sooz Young from Technology Coaching and I discussed in-depth the concept of innovation, distinguishing it from mere invention and highlighting the necessity of proven value delivery to customers.
