Formats
A useful output, not another abstract session
Choose a standalone contribution or combine formats around a programme milestone.
Practical workshops
Structured sessions on pitch narrative, funding applications, evidence, milestones and responsible product communication.
Office hours
Focused reviews that help founders improve a deck, application, pilot plan or judge response before submission.
Topics
Technical ambition, clearly communicated
Building from lived experience without losing rigour
How a personal problem can motivate a venture while evidence and professional oversight shape the product.
Responsible XR and digital health
Communicating immersive technology, evidence, ethics and delivery risk without flattening the complexity.
Funding readiness under real deadlines
Turning an ambitious idea into a coherent case with milestones, evidence and a defensible use of funds.
Pitching technical products to non-technical rooms
Helping judges, funders and partners understand the problem, product and proof without unnecessary jargon.
