Last week, we headed back over to the States, as we were fortunate enough to have been invited to take part in the Plug & Play Retail Pitch Day. To give a little bit of context, the Plug & Play Tech Center is “a global innovation platform for startups, corporations and investors.”
Annually, they review 4,000 startups and then select a few to take part in the industry specific accelerator programmes that they organise. Along with these programmes, they also make introductions to the right people and can provide investment for some. Essentially, they aim to build an ecosystem in which startups actually have a chance of succeeding and getting their business ideas off of the ground.
Although it was only one day, it was a short but sweet trip. The pitch went well and we had time afterwards to network and meet some really interesting people. We are really pleased to have been chosen as a part of the programme, commencing next week, so keep an eye on our blog and Twitter to hear any updates.

Last week we attended Future Shop 2016, for the second year in a row. We really enjoyed the 2015 showcase, and were delighted to be asked back for another year. The event is run in association with Arc London and is a great celebration of innovation and inspiring technology.
In their own words; “FutureShop 2016 will give you a truly global perspective on how shoppers and the retail landscape is changing.”
The showcase is not only a welcome opportunity for us to demonstrate our latest work to others in the industry and some of London’s greatest media/advertising agencies, but we also get to meet other fab companies. It’s really rewarding to share this space with other entrepreneurs and learn about what each other is hoping to achieve with their innovative, shoppable video tech solution.
We can’t wait for FS2017!

Yesterday, in a very warm and sunny Barcelona, we took part in the 080 Investor Day. An event organised by the international investment forum of fashion industries known as 080 Fashion Barcelona, and the private network of investors Seed & Click. The aim of the event is to support and promote entrepreneurial initiatives and any new projects in the fashion industry.
We found out a few weeks ago that we had been chosen as a nominee for ‘Best Fashion start-up’ alongside 4 other companies. We presented our tech to the audience and pitched what our product can do, and is doing for the fashion industry by monetising content and providing a simple route to purchase for consumers. We were overwhelmed to have been chosen as the winners, and want to thank the judges so much for picking us.
