Penny's Cambridge tip
Cambridge is premium — but it's where AI was born in the UK. The AI talent from the university is unmatched, and UKRI/Innovate UK grants are significantly easier to access in the Cambridge ecosystem. I've helped Cambridge businesses secure £50,000–£250,000 in AI innovation funding that more than offsets the higher operating costs. If you're building serious AI capability, Cambridge's ecosystem is worth the premium.
