Paul Anson

Paul Anson was co-founder and COO of Inca Digital Printers where he created and grew a manufacturing and customer service operation turning over £25M. Backed by two prominent VC's, Inca was acquired in 2005 by Dainippon Screen providing a good return for investors and founders. Prior to that, Paul was with Cambridge Consultants, Michelin Tyre plc and Argo Cars.

As an engineer with 20 years experience in complex, high-pressure development environments, together with a wealth of commercial experience in international B2B operations, Paul can bridge the gap between technologists and the business and investment world. He has experience in digital printing, medical device development, consumer product development, automation and cleantech.

As a business angel and mentor he is always on the lookout for promising, early-stage businesses in need of investment or help maximising return. Most recently Paul has been engaged with start-ups in the fields of drug delivery, renewable energy, engine downsizing, digital printing and fire suppression systems.  He is an active mentor within various entrepreneur support organisations.
