Shropshire built
the thing everybody
said couldn’t be built.
In 1779, Abraham Darby III spanned the river Severn with cast iron because nobody had a better idea and stone wouldn’t reach. It was over budget, structurally unproven, and it is still standing 247 years later.
That is the founding condition of most good companies: an unproven method, an impatient balance sheet, and a gorge to get across. It has always been possible to build something remarkable — the evidence is a mile up the road, and it has held for almost two and a half centuries.
What’s harder is finding someone to fund it. The talent has never been the problem. The distance to the right people is. The Founders Funding Summit closes it: founders, investors and advisors, in the room, at the Gorge.
