AUTHOR: Stewart McTavish

Stewart is a recovering entrepreneur. After exiting his third venture, mo.jo, he joined the University of Cambridge to create ideaSpace – a community hub for innovators, founders, and entrepreneurs. Eleven years and over 500 founders later, he stepped away briefly to launch Deeptech Labs, a post-seed, pre-Series-A venture fund and accelerator for deep tech. He then returned to Cambridge to establish the Better Futures Programme, helping established leaders discover their next chapter. Now, as part of the ICURe team, Stewart draws on this experience to work with entrepreneurial leaders and institutional partners, catalysing the creation of high-potential, research-based spin-outs.
