"Startup success is all about successful execution. I have experience of many startups and, while no two are exactly the same, the themes that underpin success are definitely similar even if the emphasis may vary between startups.
East Anglia has traditionally been weak in providing support for budding entrepreneurs because of its geography and rural nature. It’s difficult to access advice face to face. The range of startups in East Anglia has a much broader base than in many other areas of the UK – which often tend to focus on particular niches. The Halo programme addresses that with direct access to a range of successful people in the region who understand startups at a granular level, have a wide experience of different business models, markets, and technologies, and who are keen to pass on their knowledge.
There is nothing more exciting than creating a successful startup and whatever happens, you will gain a huge range of transferable skills, expertise, and experience. Enjoy the journey."
