Inspire Launch and Grow
Some of my readers may remember I received and invitation from Edin University to attend their Inspire Launch and Grow Awards for students studying at the University.
Have to say the event went very well. I watched 6 very professional and diverse pitches for the awards.
The winners were:
Micropray Technology and founder Salman Malik an RSE Enterprise Fellow, won the Innovation Cup award. Salman’s mission is to revolutionize particle manufacturing for pharmaceutical industries using an innovative, simple and cost-effective spray technology.
Business School Student Jade Saab stole first place in the Enterprise Award with his company Muscle Cake. Muscle cake is a subscription based high protein brownie which is designed to fit through the letterbox for customers to receive on predefined dates.

I do have some photos which I will put up at a later date. One think did concern me was the distinct lack of any females in the 6 finalists? There may have been females in the other category which was going on in another room?
above is a photo of the winners
Microspray Technology and founder Salman Malik, the guy holding the cup, an RSE Enterprise Fellow, won the Innovation Cup award. Salman’s mission is to revolutionize particle manufacturing for pharmaceutical industries using an innovative, simple and cost-effective spray technology fab idea.
I know when I was lucky enough to get selected for the auspicious inaugural Scotland CANDO Scale I met with many fab female entrepreneurs.
I was not able to find out if any of the finalists were dyslexic but stats indicate around 35% of entrepreneurs are dyslexic so the odd say there may well have been a dyslexic amongst the finalists.
anyway that's enough from me
peace love and groovyness to all in the dyslexic community and everyone in other neuro difference communities as well as all those who love and support us.
I know it may not seem like it to many dyslexic out there but we are the fab 10%.
