War stories, failures and fascinating lessons learnt from our launch event

It is fantastic to be able to say that this week’s podcast comes from our launch event. Filled with interesting anecdotes from a number of leading entrepreneurs and investors from across the country. We hear how Jeanette Walker set up a blind company, based on the hope for 8 months of Mediterranean weather in the UK a year, Modwenna Rees-Mogg’s intriguing story about almost going into business with an ill-advised co-founder, Tony Quested explaining how he helped blow the whistle on a biotechnology entrepreneur who had a ‘magical’ vaccine, and many more. In between war stories from the start-up world, we interviewed those who have been integral to the release of our first book. One of the most important being Kate Kirk, our inspired wordsmith and ghostwriter, who explains what drew her to the project. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
