In this workshop David will be discussing why founding a company is the most ambitious thing you could do with your career/research and why in 2021, the scale, scope and cost of launching your own startup has never been more attractive. We’ll also feature examples of companies and talk briefly about the key next steps you might want to explore to get started.
