Hi, I’m Kane. I help ambitious Northern founders, startups and innovation communities get seen.
Through journalism, PR, and community work, I’ve spent 15 years producing content on tech companies, meeting founders and raising the profile of the people and organisations around them.
I’ve worked for UK tech scaleup body Tech Nation, in addition to trade, B2B & B2C media titles Information Age and TechRadar, and scaling digital tech consultancy CreateFuture.
I’m currently profiling Yorkshire’s AI ecosystem through KaneOnAI while looking for a full-time role where I can use content, connections and community to champion the startups and scaleups building something worth shouting about.
