SETsquared Framework for Talent Pool of Mentors, Consultants, Grant Writers and Trainers

We are looking to identify 50+ mentors/consultants with a range of backgrounds, who have experience of working with researchers/academics, start-ups and scale-ups to help them understand the potential for their technology and how to build this into a viable business proposition.

Currently for SETsquared’s management team and within the SETsquared’s Scale-Up programme for its member companies, support is required to identify appropriate funding calls and establish relevant partnerships (with universities, stakeholders and/or companies). This could be required by other programmes also in the future. Further support is then required by funded grant writers and/or reviewers to ensure a high-quality bid is submitted with the greatest chance of securing funding.

All SETsquared training programmes are based on the principles of Strategyzer’s Business Model canvas and Lean-Start Up methodology with additional modules added as required. We have existing training materials and to standardise quality and delivery these are utilised by all trainers and there is support guides and videos from our lead trainers to aid understanding of their use.
