How can I gain an advantage?

Commercial advantage comes from having a differentiated product that people will buy. It needs appropriate strategic protection of your intellectual property and plenty of validation and testimonials that it does what it claims, backed up by outstanding product knowledge and customer service.

05.

How will I fund it?

Bootstrapping and a willingness to draw on your own reserves are often the only way to start as you begin to build your story, demonstrate your product and validate your assumptions about the business and its customers. We have done this on many occasions and its hard. We also have a phenomenal track record of securing private and public sector grants and awards as well as an ever expanding network of high net worth individuals and investment funds to whom we can introduce our clients.
