Spinout Leaders’ Network
A supportive network of spinout leaders. Connecting, sharing and learning together.
Our Spinout Leaders’ Network brings together leaders of university spinout businesses in the North East (and North Yorkshire). It recognises the value of meeting and sharing with other people in a similar but equally niche position. We bring together the leaders (including academic founders, CEOs and senior executives) of spinouts across the region to share ideas, build connections, and learn from valuable experience.
The network holds regular events with key speakers on a variety of subjects important to our members. Past events have included marketing, finance, mental health and wellbeing, scale-up and much more.
We hold regular action-learning groups for members to share and solve business issues and opportunities together.
We also have a private LinkedIn group for members to keep in touch between events.
Our Spinout Leaders’ Network events are by invite only and membership is reviewed regularly. Please get in touch if you’re a leader of a Northern Accelerator spinout and haven’t heard about our latest events.
"If Northern Accelerator should ensure they offer one thing to their growing businesses it’s this: the space, and opportunity to take a moment and look after each other, to maximise the chances of our mutual success. Thank you for implementing it, and for making a serious commitment to continue it going forward."
