I am happy to speak to schools, colleges, community groups, and universities about technology entrepreneurship and what it takes to start, grow and exit a high tech business. During my talk, I refer to my business book Start to Exit, highlighting how my training as a scientist has helped in business and provided numerous opportunities to undertake exciting projects.
