Glasgow-based wealth management firm Murphy Wealth has teamed
up with The Smart Things Accelerator
Centre (STAC), also based in Glasgow.
The two organisations aim to work together to help address
funding gaps for tech startups, and in the process, help develop
Scotland's Internet of Things (IoT) cluster.
Adrian Murphy, CEO , Murphy Wealth (pictured centre), said: "We
support entrepreneurs, albeit at a different stage of the
entrepreneurial journey, and we share a strong belief in how
transformational entrepreneurs and fast-growth tech companies can
be to the wider economy. We also share STAC's ambition to create
world-beating companies from a base in Scotland, and are pleased to
be strengthening our relationship with STAC to help make this
happen."
Paul Wilson, CEO, STAC (pictured left) said; "The upside of
Scotland's multi-decades of small business generation is the
creation of a strong talent pool of experienced entrepreneurs who
have exited their ventures and want to support the next generation
of founders, and the Murphy tie-up gives us access to a large
community of these entrepreneurs."
In partnership with Murphy, STAC will launch 'STAC Invest', an
online platform showcasing Scotland's high potential IoT and smart
devices startups to local and international investors.
