Entrepreneurship strategy
Guiding founders towards capital

We will reach our goal to guide founders towards capital by achieving two aims.

Aim 1 

Facilitate the creation of diverse teams.

We will do this by: 

  • educating founders about the importance of diversity for entrepreneurship success 
  • matching early-stage Inspire-supported ventures and student talent, filling temporary skills gaps and identifying potential team members 
  • introducing a range of initiatives to identify co-founders, supporting the creation of stronger networks and early employees

Aim 2 

Connecting founders to our local and global networks.

We will do this by: 

  • leveraging our global connectivity to foster stronger connections with our global alumni community and international partners
  • investing in infrastructure which will provide a focal point for innovation and collaboration at the heart of the Glasgow City Innovation District 
  • enhancing local ecosystem connections to provide a wider range of support pathways for founders and the Advanced Manufacturing Innovation District
