Pod 8 - Cash Cow: Start up or sell out?

  • Summary

  • In this cash cow episode the co-hosts go head to head to debate the value of startups in agricultural technology. Ray explains the origins of startup businesses and how the venture capital industry evolved and talks about his experience working in multiple UK based startups. Kit talks about his interactions with startup companies through the Hands Free Hectare project and how he thinks maybe it's all “trendy glass corner offices” in Shoreditch. Ray explains how startups present engineers with some of the most exciting and engaging problems to solve and how startups are vital to revolutionising industries. Maybe there is space for a farmer backed fund that can support early stage agricultural technology startups with cash and knowhow…Could this be the start of the Brash Ag Fund?
