Founder shares how she grew her award-winning business with heart

5 things every AI startup founder should demand from infrastructure partners

Ask any AI founder what keeps them up at night, and you’ll hear many of the same stories. Hidden infrastructure costs that blow up the burn rate without warning. Waiting weeks, or even months, for GPU capacity to come online. Scrambling to navigate compliance requirements that feel like a full-time job. These aren’t abstract problems. They are everyday hurdles that can delay product launches, frustrate investors, and stretch teams thin.

Why non-tech founders struggle to manage software consultancies

Launching a startup is a balancing act. You’re driving product development, fundraising, sales, and recruitment, often simultaneously. But for many non-technical founders, the most challenging area isn’t fundraising or sales. It’s building the product itself, especially when outsourcing to software consultancies.

Forget DIY: why winning SMEs partner for fintech success

How AI is helping small businesses outthink big competitors

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have always impressed me with their agility and creativity. They are the ones who take bold risks, experiment quickly, and often bring real innovation to market first. But there’s no denying that, for years, large corporations had the upper hand in terms of resources, technology, and reach. What I’m seeing now, however, is a real shift. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is giving SMEs the kind of leverage that used to be reserved for the biggest players.

Demand is growing for the ability to collect and analyse the outputs of Generative AI (GenAI) tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity. These tools, which use Large Language Models (LLMs), are increasingly being used as alternatives to traditional internet search engines. For this reason, professionals working with search engine optimisation (SEO) and its new incarnation, generative engine optimisation (GEO), are keen to understand what sources LLMs draw from and how they present topics relevant to particular brands and industries.

What early-stage founders should know about voice tech before launching

What early-stage founders should know about voice tech before launching

Here's the thing: voice-enabled building is different from attaching a mic to your app. It's a stack, a series of product choices, and a series of legal requirements that feel inconsequential in a prototype and acutely real the moment you receive your first inbound call. When done right, voice accelerates time-to-value for users, opens up accessibility, and expands your funnel. If you hurry, you send lag, mishear, and trust issues that are difficult to overcome.

Why it’s time to break the nebulous cloud of “innovation” in R&D tax claims

Innovation has never been more essential, or more misunderstood.

The menopause taboo: how tech can bridge the healthcare gap costing millions

I started Menotracker because of a personal wake-up call. When one of my closest friends was passed over for a promotion simply because her hot flashes during meetings were seen as "unprofessional," I was shocked. Honestly, I didn’t know much about menopause myself at the time. I had no idea how much it could impact women’s lives and careers.
