As we take a short break for Christmas, we decided to re-run one of our most popular episodes of 2024, the one with Pam Garside, chair of local angel network, Cambridge Angels.

The episode originally aired in January 2024 and has generated hundreds of downloads, and it's easy to see why.

Pam gave us an introduction to Cambridge Angels, their focus areas, and how their process works - vital information for any founder looking to pitch to Cambridge Angels.

Pam shares her priorities as chair of the Cambridge Angels, which includes navigating a challenging market environment, adding investor diversity, and raising the profile of its members' depth of expertise.

And we learn about Pam’s unique background, and her journey into investing. And we talk about healthcare and how AI and automation is revolutionising the sector but requires caution – it’s not an area to ‘move fast and break things’ as Mark Zuckerberg advises!

In this episode we talk about the CHIP Project and speak to some of the early protagonists.

· Taking a B2C coding model to a very successful B2B model

· Tapping a market need by developing corporate AI skills, and learning how to ‘sell’
