Founders & Entrepreneurs Roadshow with Rob Vickery

Overview
In response to the ever-changing and hardening startup funding landscape in Cornwall, both public and private, we propose a county-wide roadshow featuring Rob Vickery, an experienced startup venture capitalist and founder with nearly 15 years in investment and entrepreneurship. This initiative aims to provide direct, free support to Cornwall’s founders and entrepreneurs as they navigate the challenges of growing their businesses.

The Roadshow
Rob will host a four-stop tour across Cornwall, offering 30-minute one-on-one mentoring sessions where founders and entrepreneurs can share their ideas, challenges, and successes. These sessions will provide an opportunity to pick Rob’s brain for free and gain practical insights into the realities of scaling and sustaining a startup.
