Commenting on the launch, John Bowman, Chief Technology Officer at Anglia Components, said: “The support offered by Anglia Unicorn has been carefully curated to help technology startups and university spin-outs all the way through to venture capitalists, investors and equity funds who are working with technology companies that need help getting to the next level. We want customers to think of the Anglia Unicorn team as their technology adviser alongside their legal and financial advisers. This service isn’t a ‘one size fits all’ solution. We listen to what companies need and provide a bespoke programme to meet those specific requirements.”

Although the partnership between Anglia Unicorn and the startup ideally begins with a concept, in practice, the customer may already have a proof-of-concept based around an off the shelf solution such as a credit card sized single board computer or Arduino-type platform. Anglia Unicorn is able to offer help regardless of what stage the project is at, they offer start-ups a free confidential consultation where they can discuss the concept, the key project milestones and the ultimate vision for the product. This meeting will yield key technology recommendations to help deliver this vision as quickly, reliably and cost-effectively as possible. This proposal is backed up with support from Anglia’s extensive engineering resource which includes a highly skilled and experienced field application engineering team along with access to other specialisations from the Anglia eco-system if needed.

Interested companies should get in touch with Anglia to discuss their ideas in total confidence here.
