I believe that conversations with self made successful innovators and inspirations such as Shahid Sheikh OBE FIMMM greatly impact our success. I have to thank Mr. Sheikh for his valuable time and the enthusiasm he shared. Beyond investment and marketing advice, he conveyed the power of sharing more about one’s self and not discrediting yourself of your capabilities. Throughout our conversation not once did he question our abilities or the feasibility of the technology. Mr Sheikh shared our vision and left us energised to peruse this venture. We look forward to meeting him again and feel very lucky to have had the chance to pitch to him yesterday.
Yesterday we had the opportunity to be advised and guided by industry mentors, and as the fates have aligned we got to meet Shahid Sheikh OBE FIMMM,
How I would describe him is Leicesters Gem and specifically a diamond, because he had built and done so much and not mention his contributions to the Leicester (and world) communities, and let's not forget his shining personality which inspired I and my teammates.
We had such an amazing time getting to speak with him and learn from his experience, we really felt inspired by his guidance and left with a strong sense of confidence and team pride.
We look forward to meeting him again soon, and if you are interested in some stuff we learnt!
