So how did he get the money to turn that idea into a business? What options did he have and what worked best for him? Once the company had launched products and secured customers, how did his funding strategy drive or distract him? In just a few years, Stanton built Cumulus into a successful mobile application business and sold it. How did it change when it became part of a big, publicly traded company? Stanton is now running his 2nd business - the Vobster Diving Centre. So what are the differences between financing technology companies and businesses that are rooted in physical assets? Speakers: Martin Stanton & Cumulus Further details: Poster Location: University of Bath Innovation Centre, Carpenter House, Broad Quay, Bath, registration will be from 17.30 followed by the discussion at 18.00 and closing with drinks and networking with a finishing time of 19.30. ► 18 November 2010: Koodibook is powerful online software for compiling and publishing photographs in beautiful hardback books.

How do you lead and grow entrepreneurial ventures as they start to mature?
