We recently spoke to Ryan Cowan, a computer science student from the university, about how the incubator has given him “real-world opportunities.”

Introduction – What was your business looking for when you joined the Deep Tech Incubator?
Jeremy Taylor, Little Birdie: Specifically software development, engineering capabilities, in the app world. So, we are an app only product, Ryan had some knowledge there and I think he would probably say, that he’s probably learned along the way, as well as bringing a lot to the table already. A lot of experience and knowledge which allowed us to hit, or allowed him and us to hit the ground running, in him seamlessly coming into our project.
Ryan Cowan: I’m Ryan and I’m a third-year computer science student at the University of Warwick. I’ve been working with Little Birdie for about 6 months now and it’s been a great experience for me, to not only learn more about the technologies that I see myself using in the future, but also to learn more about what life will be like after University.
This has been an invaluable experience for me, because it is the real world, I’ve been working on real hands-on projects and that comes with the risks and the benefits that you would imagine.
What have you gained by joining the incubator?
I think possibly the most interesting bit for me of being in the incubator itself is seeing how other startups, at different stages, are going through things. So, it’s been interesting to talk with other founders and see what other ideas are out there and how they’re going about achieving them.
What are you ambitions?
I think long term I would like to pursue a startup myself actually – definitely in the tech world. It’s something that I’ve been interested in for a long time and this has been a great start on that journey.
I’ve learned a lot about how to kind of conduct business and some of the challenges and what to realistically expect when you’re pursuing that kind of lifestyle – but, yeah one day I’d like to, for similar reasons to Martin and Jeremy, set up a startup, because I’d like to be able to actually achieve something and feel like I’m making a difference.
