Come and hear from entrepreneurs and founders who will share their startup journeys and top tips as part of our regular ‘Inspire Me’ online sessions.
It is a fantastic opportunity to learn from others, ask questions directly to someone who has been there and make valuable connections.
Our Inspire Me sessions aim to motivate and inspire you by showcasing our speakers' startup journeys and experiences. There will be time at the end for any questions you may want to ask.
These sessions are aimed at all students and recent graduates* regardless of if you have a current startup (if you do, even better). Not all startup journeys are easy and during the series our speakers will talk about the highs and lows, overcoming challenges and offer their top tips based on what they have learnt so far. The core purpose of the Inspire Me sessions is to ignite motivation, positivity and personal growth.
Meet our Speaker
Our guest speaker this week is Josh Robinson.
Josh is a 2021 graduate of the University of Portsmouth and is the Founder of LMSUK, an award-winning management and events company, who help to manage social media for musicians.
Josh started his startup in 2017 and over the last 7 years the company has expanded internationally and progressed artists from playing at their local pub to the O2 arena in London. Here is a snapshot of their journey so far...
2017 saw Josh building the foundation for the business by hosting and promoting local shows, musicians and spreading the word about gigs, singers, songwriters, DJ’s and everything in-between.
In 2018 LMSUK launched the Outhouse series of events, featuring Portsmouth's hottest DJ talent at venues all over the waterfront city, including Tiger Tiger Portsmouth's largest room with Radio 1, and Apple Music's Charlie Sloth.
In 2019 the company began their new relationship as an official promoter at Portsmouth Guildhall. They put on shows in the brand-new studio space that allowed local artists to perform on a professional stage.
LMSUK have interviewed artists including Blossoms, Freya Ridings, The Kooks, The Amazons, and Craig David. The team has a real passion to give talented artists the kick-start they need in their music careers through promotion and commitment.
2020 has now led the team to work with major entities in the industry. They always keep the core values of their business at the centre of their work and continue to work with the local music scene.
Josh was also named Young Entrepreneur of the Year and is now and Entrepreneur in Residence at the University of Portsmouth.
