Harper Macleod partners Moonshot Academy
Created by Entrepreneurial Spark founder Jim Duffy, Moonshot chief executive Al Walker and former Big Partnership director Sharon Mars, the accelerator was set up in an attempt to solve the problem of high-potential start-up and early-stage ventures failing to reach scale after securing initial investment.
Harper Macleod becomes Moonshot’s first corporate partner in Scotland and will add its expertise to the leadership team and the academy’s businesses. The law firm will advise on all legal aspects, from company structures to intellectual property.
Harper Macleod chief executive Martin Darroch said: “We are excited to be part of Moonshot Academy, which could be the ‘missing link’ in the entrepreneurial ecosystem.”
