Consultancy as a model for DeepTech VC

Cambridge Consultants has spun out twenty-seven startups and four unicorns - a track record better than any UK venture capitalist or university.1 If CC were in the Silicon Valley, we would all know how they achieved this, I want to tell this story better and bring more information about their heyday to the startup community. David Connell’s piece “Exploding the Myths of UK Innovation Policy” is a great reference text for this.
