ABOUT WILL LARKIN

I’ve always been drawn to the challenge of building something from the ground up.After more than a decade at a top-tier bank — learning the discipline of scale, structure, and risk management — I found myself increasingly motivated by a different question: What if the next big breakthrough doesn’t come from established players, but from bold new ideas?That curiosity led me into the start-up world, where I’ve spent the last ten+ years founding and scaling businesses across education, healthcare, engineering, and deep tech. I’ve seen first-hand what it takes to move from a blank sheet of paper to a functioning company: raising capital, finding product-market fit, building high-performing teams, and creating the operational backbone that allows innovation to grow sustainably.What excites me most is working with ambitious people and disruptive technologies — the moments where vision meets execution. I’m at my best when taking complexity and shaping it into clear strategy, structure, and results.What I bring to the table: • A track record of fundraising and investor engagement • Deep experience in business development and pipeline creation • Business operations and governance • Commercial strategy and market entry expertise • Team building and leadership across diverse sectors • Data-driven decision making and process optimisationWhether as a founder, co-founder, or senior leader, I thrive at the intersection of strategy and execution — turning ambitious ideas into scalable, investable, and impactful businesses.
