Episode Synopsis

Barclay's Bank UK Start-Up Entrepreneur 2018 for the progress and achievements of Oxford Space Systems, and founder of Oxford Dynamics, Mike Lawton joins us on the Cold Star Project. With host Jason Kanigan, Mike discusses the challenges of developing early stage space startups, including:

Other than the obvious lifeblood of cash, what other measures have you noticed as important in early stage, high tech businesses?
You say you get “things wrong slightly less often than I get them right”. When do you know you’ve “gotten things wrong”? What are the indicators and how have you learned to see them sooner?
What do you believe drives technological innovation? Eg. marketplace vs personal interest?
What other organizations are you watching in UK NewSpace?
You mention “the 'dark arts' of raising finance for tech businesses”... explain what this means.
