About
The commercial layerscience was missing.
We turn scientists into commercially sophisticated leaders, so the best research reaches the people who need it.
Why we exist
Science produces the ideas. Too few ever leave the lab.
The majority of breakthrough research never reaches the people who need it. Not because the science is wrong, but because the scientists were not equipped to navigate the commercial world, and that world has no incentive to help them.
Spin Up Science exists to close that gap. We give researchers the specific commercial fluency their work demands, through programmes that meet them at every stage of readiness, from a single day of clarity to ongoing advisory at the highest stakes.
Our founder
Founded by a scientist who has done it.
Most commercial training for scientists is designed by people who have never run an experiment. They know business. They do not know what it feels like to have a result that could matter, and no language to explain it to the people with capital.
Spin Up Science was founded in 2016 by Dr Ben Miles, a research scientist who built a commercial career. Its programmes draw on a decade of work with research institutions across the UK and internationally, developing the precise translation between scientific thinking and commercial reality.
