TechStars London Unveils First Cohort, Applications Increased 4x Post-Springboard Merger
Summary
Today TechStars London is unveiling its first cohort, giving us a glimpse at how things are shaping up post-merger. To that end, it’s not hard to see how London makes sense as an out-post location, given that is has a vibrant tech scene of its own, plenty of government cheerleading in the form of the Tech City project, as well as being naturally outwards-looking. From those 1,302 applications, TechStars had to whittle it down to 11 teams to make the final cut for the bootcamp-style 13 week program (although a change this year sees teams able to stick around for a further 3 months at TechStars London’s new Warner Yard home, the co-working space owned by early-stage fund Playfair Capital). Those teams comprise of founders originating from seven countries: Colombia, Holland, Ireland, Serbia, Solvenia Spain, and the UK, so a pretty diverse bunch, which isn’t really notable for a multicultural city like London. FeedPack – “Provide companies feedback about their courier service” Iptvbeat – “Google Analytics for IPTV” Modabound – “Platform for college students to buy and sell clothing” Moni Technologies – “Mobile money transfer” OP3Nvoice – “Conversation management and intelligence” Osper – “Bank for young people” Paymins – “Micropayments for social networks” Peerby – “Borrow things locally” PlayCanvas – “Development platform for video games” QuanTemplate – “Platform for insurers to optimise their risk in real time” VetCloud – “Practice management system for veterinary surgeries”
