Venture Café Edinburgh Thursday Gathering
7th May 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM BST
To Be (the CEO) or Not to Be? That is the Founder’s Question
It’s one of the most significant crossroads in the spin-out journey: Can, and should, a researcher lead the company they created? On Thursday, we’re moving past the polite surface talk for an open conversation about the CEO’s role in deep-tech spin-outs. Whether you’re a PI weighing up your future, a PhD student with a prototype, or a supporter of the next wave of technical talent, come join the conversation. We’ll hear from founders who have taken both paths and explore how Scotland can ensure more world-class research makes a world-class impact.
