Collaboration through the lens of location and property innovation

by Startacus Admin

Kaleidoscope is a new podcast turning the spotlight on startup corporate collaboration, offering a new twist on innovation.
In part 2 (below) we talk to Alex Wrottesley of Geovation, Guy Davenport of Locpin and Sam Bird of L Marks, taking a closer look at collaboration through the lens of location and property innovation.
In this episode our guests share their perspectives on startup-corporate collaboration, drawing on their varied experience to suggest how startups can successfully work/engage/collaborate with big corporates.
Alex and Sam help us understand the opportunities that organisations like Geovation and L Marks provide for startups and the factors that influence the success of young companies on their programmes.
Through Geovation and L Marks programmes, Guy’s company, Locpin, has collaborated with – and continues to work with – large organisations including Belron, parent company of Autoglass. Guy tells us how this sort of collaboration plays out in practice, highlighting the associated benefits and risks, and explains how open collaboration allows companies of all sizes to keep pace with the rate of change.
