"IT AIN'T NO BIG THING (BUT IT’S GROWING)" -  SIX STEPS TO GROWING A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS

The Taylor Vinters Entrepreneurial Business Team invites you to join Shoots, the forum for those running equity-backed and developing businesses, aimed at providing an environment to learn, share ideas and mingle with like-minded individuals.

Every quarter Shoots will introduce you to an entrepreneurial expert (not a lawyer!) who will kick-off the discussion with ten to fifteen minutes of real-life experiences, thoughts and wisdom relevant to the issues facing equity-backed businesses. We then split into smaller discussion groups to challenge and expand on these ideas and learn from fellow entrepreneurs by sharing experiences and points of view. The groups then reconvene via a plenary session to share ideas with the expert.

The topic for our next forum will centre around how to grow a business. Our entrepreneurial expert is David Cleevely, who has founded and sold three telecoms and biotechnology businesses, advises many companies in Cambridge and currently advises the University of Cambridge and the Government on the integration of science and politics.  David is the Chairman of CRFS, the spectrum monitoring company, which he co-founded in July 2007, Chairman of Ionscope, a novel microscope technology company, Founding Director of the Centre for Science and Policy at the University of Cambridge, Chairman of Cambridge Wireless and was a founder, investor and Chairman of Abcam plc, now a major AIM listed company.

David will draw on his extensive background experience as a businessman over the past three decades and share with entrepreneurs his ‘Six steps to growing a successful business’.
