“I have been able to get my business off the ground, supported by the Bettany Centre, Cranfield’s business incubation facilities and other staff at the University. I met my fellow co-founders at Cranfield and had a fantastic year doing the MBA. The ability to speak to alumni, faculty and other colleagues while developing the business has been instrumental in not only getting our business funded but in opening doors for business partnerships and supplier relationships.”

CEO and Co-founder, Fan Insight Professionals,
