Research, Test & Validate - Mark Renney of Wubbleyou & Graham Batey Northumbria Uni Incubator champion

Hosted by Sarah Stephenson, this episode looks at the process of starting a small business, and how the Business School at Northumbria University can help students become entrepreneurs, whilst giving them the safe space to research, test and validate their ideas. Mark Renney is the founder of Wubbleyou, a scalable software business whose journey began in 2010 at Newcastle Business School when along the way Mark was introduced to our second guest Graham Baty, Head of Student & Graduate Enterprise at Northumbria. Hear about Mark's own journey from student to thriving business owner, and how Graham and the Incubator project at Northumbria provided Mark with a safe space to test and try out ideas. He also learned the need to bridge the gap between the technical knowhow of his software product, and that of being a successful business operator.
