Digital marketing start-up for pubs and diners raises £1 million
Summary
The firm - previously known as BLACKBX - supplies software that helps bricks and mortar retailers and hospitality businesses market themselves more effectively. Its customer engagement and marketing analytics tool aims to reduce time and money wasted on physical promotions and advertising. Stampede is growing rapidly which is only going to be accelerated by this recent injection of funding.” Stampede offers a secure, branded Wi-Fi login portal, an Instagram-style “Stories” service which lets venues display short videos or landing pages of their latest promotions on customers’ mobile devices when they arrive at the venue. Mark Hogarth, Partner at Techstart Ventures, said: “Techstart only invests in the most ambitious tech start-ups and founders, a description that suits Stampede and Patrick well. We were initially drawn to Stampede by the scale of Patrick’s vision and the company’s already impressive ability to deliver digital marketing capabilities to operators of physical venues.
