    ☀️☕ What better way to start the day than breakfast networking at Landing Pad? Yesterday we kicked off a busy working day with a chance for our occupiers to meet over a delicious breakfast spread, prepared by The Library (one of our local cafes, just a stone's throw away). It was great to see Wild PR, If Collective, Sheffield Technology Parks, Barnsley WFC, Jersey53, Legacy Park Limited and more! There's so much going on here Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park, it's good to take the time to check in, chat and learn what fellow residents of Landing Pad and the wider Park are up to.

  • What does it take to bring a business idea to life?💡 🚀 Yesterday we hosted an 'Entrepreneur Talks' session, welcoming tech founders Katie Steele, of Cheribim and Samson Opaleye from Applatch Kids to share their real-life experiences and insights. Both started their founder journeys on the Cooper Project and we had a full audience of current Coopers who took away so many lessons learnt, advice and motivation from the session. The talks were described as 'inspiring and honest' and 'authentic, funny and heartfelt' 🧡 🙏 Thank you to Katie and Sam for sharing your time and your journeys with us, hearing lived experiences can be instrumental in helping other founders to navigate the challenges and opportunities ahead 🙂 #techfounder #entrepreneur #incubator #sheffield #founders

    We launched our Crowdfunder yesterday, with very little fanfare (more to come), even so it felt a bit nerve-wracking. Massive thanks to everyone who has donated so far! We've got a long way to go but it's exciting. We are so ready to start making positive change! Here's our Crowdfunder video so you can discover more about what we're doing and why. Thank you so much Jilly Cross and Bravand for this! It captures so nicely what Fleet is about. See what you think - feedback welcome!

    We are excited to announce our new company direction! It’s been a wild journey this year: we’ve moved into and renovated our new home in Attercliffe, experimented with business models, undertook our first grant and sold fresh greens to the city. To pull this off we designed, built and operated our own proprietary vertical farm and anaerobic digester from scratch. We are extremely proud of the progress our team (David Dixon, Gabrielė Barteškaitė, Alastair Roper and Alexander La Fleur) has made in our first year of full-time work. We couldn’t have done it without the support from our investors SFC Capital, Carbon13 and Ashley Tate. Sheffield has been a brilliant place to start this journey we would like to say thank you to Tom Wolfenden and the team at Sheffield Technology Parks, Our Cow Molly and The Brewery of Saint Mars of the Desert, for all their help and collaboration this year. Our Innovate UK grant with the The University of Sheffield has been a great experience and the researchers Davide Poggio, Jacob Nickles and Ian Lidbury have gone above and beyond in sharing their expertise and we look forwards to continuing this collaboration. But now it's time to start a new chapter… Vertical farming isn’t the only industry that battles with the energy volatility and stringent waste regulation. So we have expanded our horizons to provide a sustainable solution to all food and drink manufacturers. Our focus is to cut operational costs by using biological processes to convert trade effluent and organic waste into energy. Combining our expertise in artificial intelligence, mechanical design and biological systems, we have developed a reactor which can optimize the microbiome, increasing the rate of gas production. This can improve the energy efficiency for large corporates, as well as open the doors of waste-to-energy to SMEs. Going forward, we are planning to patent our reactor and deploy our first paid pilots in 2025, check out our new website for more information on our new direction: https://lnkd.in/en_2P22F
