Show Notes

Funding and friends are invaluable assets to any small business, and in this episode of The Dorset Growth Hub Podcast, we’re focusing on boosting finances and building a community.

Recorded at our Coffee & Catch Up event in July, Steve Bulley hosts BCP Council’s Charles Fynn, Mercia Asset Management’s Max Slinger and FOUNDRY’s Ema Armstrong.

The panel takes us through a new fund open to businesses in the BCP area, how best to seek venture capital funding, and how the Dolphin Centre’s new coworking space is catalysing collaboration.

This episode of The Dorset Growth Hub podcast covers:

  • The UK Shared Prosperity Fund, and how to apply for some of BCP Council’s allocation of the fund
  • Maximising your chances when seeking financial backing from venture capital
  • FOUNDRY’s stellar opening in Poole’s Dolphin Centre and the community being built around it
