How a failed startup led to becoming the CEO of one of Europe's most successful accelerators.

As well as lots of tips for people looking to get going with their startup we talked about: We got together with Linklaters to discuss how user-centred research and design techniques can help organisations meet the expectations of the FCA’s Consumer Duty. Laura Jackson from Not Actual Size joined us to talk about the complexities of creating content for multi-channel audiences, how to handle the demands of always on social media and what the future holds for contentfrom wearelighthouse.com
