The Cambridge networking scene is a world with a thousand suns, a million stars and dynamics that allow truth-telling and wisdom to emerge from the neural babble we are all surrounded by - at least that was certainly the case at the first StartUp Grind session of the year at Cambridge Union.” - Cambridge Business Magazine
Guest speaker Frank Meehan is a Co-Founder & Partner at SparkLabs Global Ventures and a Partner at SparkLabs, Asia’s premier accelerator based in Seoul. Frank was selected as part of the 2012 Wired UK Top 100 in tech, and Vanity Fair's The Next Establishment list 2010.
Previously, Frank Meehan was with Horizons Ventures (HK), representing them on the boards of Spotify, Siri, Summly, Affectiva, Bitcasa, Fixmo, DoubleTwist, Ginger, Desti and Magisto. He also is the founder of Kuato Studios, a leading educational games studio. Frank has been a pioneer in the world of mobile technology from his days as a coder and was responsible for the technical integration of the first 3G networks around the worlds.
Expressing his passion for Cambridge innovation; Frank said "Cambridge has long been a source of some of the best talent the UK has to offer, this combined with the surge of deep tech has made it somewhere exciting for global investors to watch with great interest.”
Ed Goodman will host the fireside chat with Frank to learn how he spots the people he thinks are worth investing in, what criteria he uses to decide if they’re a good risk and so much more.
