We had the pleasure of partnering with Murphy Wealth for a fantastic evening that spotlighted some of the most exciting companies from the STAC programme. Hosted in Murphy Wealth’s Glasgow office, the event brought together founders, investors, and business leaders for an evening of innovation, ambition, and new connections.
Introducing STAC Invest Syndicate
The evening featured an introduction to STAC Invest by Angus and Paul, who shared the latest developments from the platform – including the highly anticipated launch of the STAC Invest Syndicate. As Scotland’s only accelerator-led investment syndicate, this new initiative aims to unlock significant opportunities for early-stage deep tech and IoT startups across the country.
They also highlighted STAC’s momentum in forming technology-sourcing partnerships with major brands and global corporates – underlining the value of the platform for both startups and investors.
Showcasing STAC’s Startup Talent
The real stars of the evening were our cohort companies, each of whom took to the floor to share their story, their solution, and their progress. The companies showcased included:
- Airspection
- Danu Robotics
- Gibson Robotics
- LU Innovations
- Smplicare
- Silver Lion Innovations
- Vuabl
- weeteq
Each founder delivered a concise and compelling pitch, sparking interest and thoughtful questions from the audience. Following the presentations, there was an opportunity for deeper discussion and networking – with several potential collaborations beginning to take shape.
Words from Murphy Wealth
Adrian Murphy, CEO of Murphy Wealth, reflected on the evening:
“It was fantastic to have the cohort companies present to our clients at the Murphy Wealth office. Everyone was inspired and excited by the companies’ progress, which is a testament to the quality of the STAC programme that has helped them reach this stage. It was also great to hear from Paul Wilson that the Investment Syndicate is underway with significant investor commitments already in place. This will provide much-needed capital to fuel these cutting-edge companies, allowing them to grow and succeed right here in Scotland!”
