Hi, I’m Kane. I help ambitious Northern founders, startups and innovation communities get seen.
Through journalism, content and community work, I’ve spent 15 years writing about tech companies, meeting founders and raising the profile of the people and organisations around them.
I’m currently profiling Yorkshire’s AI startup ecosystem through KaneOnAI while exploring full-time roles.
