Sheaf Valley: A show about Sheffield's startups is a podcast that gives platform to the Steel City's exciting founders to talk about their businesses, increase the conectedness of the startup ecosystem and to raise awareness about the great ventures that are being started in Sheffield.

In episode 2 Maksym Sich, CEO of Aegiq, welcomes us to the world of quantum - why did he choose the path of a deeptech startup founder, what is the state of quantum tech in 2020, how valid was Google's claim of achieving 'quantum supremacy' last year and what could deeptech founders in the city do to increase the probability of success.

Maks shared which books he thinks everyone should read, his favourite places for a snack and drink in Sheffield and he had an amusing answer to what he would tell his 20-year old self if he could talk to him. Surprisingly, they wouldn't talk about Physics!
