Securing £100m with a slide deck


What sort of start-up business secures £100m in funding with nothing more than a slide-deck presentation to show for itself? And what sort of person is willing to take that money and several hundred millions more to build a business that won’t make a profit for years? This week on Trading Up we meet Dominic Kearns, the founder and CEO of telecoms challenger Fibrus. He explains the big numbers and the business model behind infrastructure investments like his as he takes fibre broadband to the parts of Northern Ireland (and Cumbria) the others don’t yet reach. With Clare Guinness of Belfast Chamber joining the discussion we also examine the wider issues of infrastructure investment and how the private sector could play its part in other parts of the economy.
