This is https://sheafvalley.captivate.fm/ (Sheaf Valley: A show about Sheffield's startups) - the podcast created to promote entrepreneurship from the Steel City and increase the connectedness between different organisations and bodies. In the spotlight for today's episode is https://www.linkedin.com/company/76561837/ (David White) - founder of https://papermill.io/ (Papermill). David has an academic background but developed a passion for creating something from scratch and decided to utilise his software engineering skills to build a startup solving an academic problem - the head-scratching experience we all have when creating appealing documents in Microsoft Word or Google Docs. The word processing functions of those two applications are good, but when you need to do something more complicated, they can both be a pain and suddenly all writing focus is lost when you need 15 minutes to learn how to align your title with a left-standing image. David wants to create software that enables his customers to create a great work. He is currently recruiting so if you are looking to join an exciting startup with a brilliant founder, this is your best shot - https://sheffield.digital/job/papermill-sheffield-or-manchester-66-ux-ui-design-lead-papermill/ (apply here!)

In this episode I spoke with https://www.linkedin.com/in/juriknjazev/ (Juri Knjazev) from https://alarmonit.com/ (Alarmonit), a startup focused on developing the application of computer vision and AI for CCTV and security cameras. Juri studied Law in university but his interest towards technology and natural desire to solve problems every day led him to build a number of businesses with Alarmonit being his first SAAS. Juri talks about the security industry and how computer vision can radically change the application of cameras, expanding their features to more than just observing and recording. He also shared what he thinks are the most useful traits a law student brings into the field of business.

https://sheafvalley.captivate.fm/ (Sheaf Valley: Sheffield's startup ecosystem) is a podcast dedicated to the startups, their founders and all other stakeholders involved in our ecosystem. My mission as the show's creator is to increase the visibility of and connectedness between local high-growth ventures and to deliver a lot of value to you, the listeners of this podcast. Season 2 of Sheaf Valley starts with part 2 of 'The Journey' rubric where I trace the development of a startup from pre-validation stage to its launch. My guest on the rubric is Tom Oates from MyDaas (https://www.linkedin.com/in/twroates/ (connect with him on LinkedIn here)). Tom created MyDaas to solve the problems around the difficult relationship between companies and users when it comes to online data. When we first spoke back in May (https://player.captivate.fm/episode/4d48942e-eda4-49ff-b355-077f14b57acc (link to episode)), he was just starting the validation stage of MyDaas and now, catching up after three months, it was great to hear about all the progress his team has made. On top of my conversation with Tom, I also decided to share one resource and one book per episode that I think will bring value to you as listeners. The resource this week is from Techstars and is their 'Startup Toolkit'(https://toolkit.techstars.com/ (link)), a wonderful website with 20 sections to help your entrepreneurial journey. The book this week is https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18492257-lean-customer-development?ac=1andfrom_search=trueandqid=EQ8wUSu2fYandrank=1 (Lean Customer Development by Cindy Alvarez) - a practical guide towards learning more about your customer, why would they use your product and what features you need to be working on. I also spoke about Samdai and their VIP Membership card, https://www.samdai.co.uk/our-vip-partners/ (check the benefits you would get from getting one here) or https://player.captivate.fm/episode/a2343a34-e43d-4b1d-9f30-adbd035d5d8d (check my conversation with Darren Forde on the podcast here). https://www.eventbrite.com/e/startup-meetup-sheffield-september-2021-tickets-169832460461 (Here is the link to the Startup Meetup Sheffield event on September 21st,) secure your free tickets as soon as possible!
