Will Lownsbrough

Will has spent the past ten years founding and growing businesses across various industries, focusing mainly on technology and marketing.

In 2009, Will was part of the founding team at Vizzihome and led the company as Managing Director until its acquisition by Zoopla PLC in 2013. During this time, Will was also a founding investor in RealCube, which Hunters PLC acquired as part of their IPO. Following the sale of Vizzihome, Will held the role of Head of Data at Zoopla before moving on to his next startup, a venture-backed shopping search engine. After leaving the business in 2015, Will held advisory roles in several startups and was Chief Innovation Officer at the award-winning agency, Starberry. He also founded Nibiru Holdings, which has since gone on to be the incubator for several other startups, of which North 53 is one.

Will leads the day-to-day operations for North 53 and works closely with clients and our venture partners.

Will grew up a passionate climber, and when he's not working or playing dad, he can be found on one of the Peak District's many renowned gritstone crags.
