The Big Experiment
Ever wondered how technology start-ups, well, start-up? For most founder entrepreneurs, it is the biggest experiment they'll ever run. Like most experiments, the result isn't known beforehand and it often doesn't work first time. On a bigger scale, how do big tech companies turn innovative science into profit?
Mark Davison interviews founder scientists, executives, investors, communicators, and others in the technology start-up and corporate science ecosystems.
Learn how great ideas turned into thriving businesses (or not) from those who made it happen (or didn't). Get business tips, lessons learned, and life lessons straight from the people who know.
Inspiring, disastrous, funny: hear what life in a science-driven company is really like.
Straight-talking, no nonsense, but conversational style. All technical content is explained for the non-specialist - you don't need a PhD or fluency in jargon and technobabble.

Welcome to The Big Experiment, where we explore the scientific business world, and find out how great ideas turn into great companies.
I'm Mark Davison CEO of Grant Instruments, a scientific insurance (instruments) company based in Cambridge, UK. But I'm also a veteran of pharmaceutical and biotech roles from drug discovery, right through to medicine supply chains.
Amazing science impacts our lives every day, but lab breakthroughs are just the first stage in a very long journey, we're going to go behind the scenes to look at the real people who turn new discoveries into business.
Their personal stories are just as fascinating as a (the) science. And each week, I'll be inviting some great guests to share their career and their world, their triumphs and their failures.
If you're a scientific entrepreneur, we'll give you some tips and tools to help you grow your business and avoid the traps. If you just love science and want to know more about how scientists and entrepreneurs work, you'll get plenty of human stories too.
We'll be launching on Monday, the 18th of March. And If you enjoy the episodes remember to like, comment, review, share with your network and subscribe.
