We're pleased to announce that entries for our 8th Annual Startup Competition have now opened! There is a top prize of £1000 cash up for grabs with the chance to pitch on the main stage to the Thinking Digital audience. See full details here: thinkingdigital.co.uk/startups/
Over 100,000 Chinese students currently study in the UK - that’s the biggest contingent from any country. And yet without support, they often feel alienated. How can that be? @BusyBackpack to the rescue! #IgniteShowcase
@BusyBackpack - pitch perfect! #IGNITEshowcase
Aaaaand it’s a wrap. It was SUCH a pleasure to work with all of those amazing founders in the past 3 months. ❤️ #IgniteShowcase @FairCustodianUK @ineedaskip @getvisavis @ecatstudios @TeamYounited @_mymarto @Myndruk @Rmarley06 @BusyBackpack @cystel @CPSidekick @little_sleeper
Apply now for #pitchatpalace on-tour Newcastle! Closing date is the 17th January so get your application in now!!!! @HRHDukeofYork @pitchatpalace @DigiCatNETV @SunSoftCity @igniteaccel @lordlancaster @digiunion @McrDig @dynamonortheast
Dating apps are broken says Michalis from @getvisavis . Their app changes the model by incentivising users to go for a date in real life. #IGNITEShowcase
Awesome pitch from Ting @BusyBackpack at today’s #igniteshowcase in Newcastle. A platform helping UK-based Chinese students overcome the difficulties and barriers of integrating into a new country. Great to see how far the business has grown already. Well done Ting!
Last (but definitely not least) is @BernaAkinEris with @little_sleeper. Any new parent will have experienced the problem of sleep deprivation with a newborn. Little Sleeper solves this with a digital sleep coach that keeps baby happy and parents sane. #IGNITEshowcase
Ting from @BusyBackpack explaining how they connect Chinese and international students in the UK with local cultural activities and experiences. With a community of over 1400 students in Newcastle already they’re now looking at UK wide expansion. #IGNITEShowcase
What happens to elite football players who don’t make it as professionals? Hyth from @TeamYounited has been in that position. That’s why he is building a LinkedIn for amateur players that allows them to connect with scouts and find new opportunities. #IGNITEShowcase
Well done @StorageShepherd @BusyBackpack @getvisavis and @CPSidekick! Your #IGNITEShowcase pitches inspired us and made us super proud. Thanks for getting #StartedatNCL with us! @igniteaccel
