Matt Smith

I'm interested in unlocking entrepreneurial potential - in individuals, organisations, communities and nations.

As co-founder and Policy Director of NACUE I helped grow the charity to 24+ staff in under 3 years. I secured over £2.8m in Government grant funding, I created the Startup Milkround campaign, the Lloyds TSB Enterprise Awards, the NACUE Innovation Fund and I played a role in the design and execution of countless training workshops, conferences, award dinners and other events.

I became a trusted enterprise policy advisor to Government Ministers, HRH Duke of York, BIS, HEFCE and a host of organisations in the enterprise/education space.

I now help organisations keep track and respond to policy activity, form strategic partnerships, and design high-impact initiatives. I also comment independently on enterprise policy.
