This is a special bonus episode of the podcast as Thinking of Oscar are teaming up with start-up builder and funder, Founder’s Factory and healthcare experts Humant Consulting to host the recently announced Children’s Health Impact Accelerator, which starts this summer. On this bonus episode we talk with Olivia Brooks and Athene St John from Founders Factory on first why it’s so important to focus on children’s health (just in case anyone listening to this podcast didn’t know by now). And second what the Children’s Health Impact Accelerator is and what is on offer if someone was interested in taking part.
The Children’s Health Impact Accelerator is a 10-week non-equity startup programme based in Liverpool and London, funded by Innovate UK in partnership with Humant, Thinking of Oscar and Founders Factory.
You can register here.
The programme is aimed at spinouts, start-ups, and entrepreneurial minded academics. It supports ambitious founders to develop and test their innovative solutions by providing expert support, mentorship and connection into key healthcare communities.
Founders will have access to vital resources to help develop and test their innovative solutions for children, including functional support across product, growth and fundraising, access to mentors and expertise across health and life science, as well as an established network of hospitals, such as Alder Hey Children’s Hospital.
Applications for the Children’s Health Impact Bootcamp are still open. If you’re an early stage founder innovating in the children’s health space, this could be the perfect opportunity to progress your idea and take it to scale.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
