Britain's Hottalent Britain’s Hot Talent 2014/15 A handbook of UK venture capital innovation Editors Chris Etheridge Mia Iwama Hastings Rory McDougall Managing Editor Tom Allchorne For additional information Tom Allchorne Email [email protected] 22 BVCA e: [email protected] w: bvca.co.uk Contents Introduction Foreword 4 Five facts about venture capital in the UK 5 Definitions of industry sectors 6 Company Profiles Chapter 1 Cleantech 7 Chapter 2 Digital & Consumer 19 Chapter 3 Finance & Business Support 53 Chapter 4 Information Technology 81 Chapter 5 Life Sciences 101 Chapter 6 Materials 113 Chapter 7 Media 121 Chapter 8 Medical 129 Chapter 9 Telecoms 151 Index Index by company name 164 Index by investor 169 Index by parliamentary constituency 186 e: [email protected] w: bvca.co.uk BVCA 3 Foreword Welcome to Britain’s Hot Talent 2014/15, the latest BVCA handbook showcasing some of this country’s most dynamic and cutting-edge young companies. In fact this is the second version of this edition, reproduced due to overwhelming demand and with a number of new star companies added. Britain has a long and proud history of entrepreneurship and the businesses featured here are a snapshot of some of the exciting and creative work being carried out right now. We have profiles of over 100 venture capital-backed companies from across the British economy – all are fantastic examples of what can be achieved with ingenuity, hard work and the right support. Venture capital has long been a backer of innovation, providing investment and expertise to start-ups and early-stage companies across the UK and helping to turn fledging ideas into market leaders. As a backer of entrepreneurialism, venture capital has played, and continues to play, a vital part in this country’s business eco-system, and it remains crucial to the future of the British economy. What is perhaps most startling about this book is the diversity on display, not only by sector but also geographically. Much attention is paid to London’s Tech City – and rightly so – but the UK is home to numerous clusters of excellence. In the BVCA publication Tech Country we highlighted a number of the most successful clusters in the country, such as Cambridge, Bristol, Aberdeen and Manchester. The sheer range and variety of talent on these shores must be championed and investment encouraged if Britain is to compete on the global stage. Investment, however, is only part of the story. Business require advice and expertise in order to grow and venture capital firms are ideally suited to provide these crucial ingredients, to work alongside company owners and management teams and to help them grow and expand. It is the job of the BVCA and the BVCA Venture Capital Committee to ensure these messages are heard far and wide, to enable a better understanding of what venture capital is and how it can support ambitious enterprises. We hope you find Britain’s Hot Talent both interesting and useful. Young, innovative British companies should be celebrated, and that is what we hope to do here.

  • Polygiene's Subsidiary Addmaster Contributes to the CAT® Launch Of
    PRESS RELEASE Malmö, Sweden, January 22, 2021 Polygiene’s subsidiary Addmaster contributes to the CAT® launch of the first fully antimicrobial mobile phone British Addmaster Holdings Limited is since January 8, 2021, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Polygiene with specialist skills within antimicrobial technology and hard surfaces. The company has a range of products for this kind of applications, found in consumer products, public spaces as well as in hospital environments and more. According to a press release published by Addmaster January 21: The UK-based Bullitt Group, makers of military-grade smartphones and the global licensee for CAT® phones, has launched the first fully antimicrobial mobile phone - the CAT S42. The entry-level Android smartphone with antimicrobial protection is designed for military use but is now also available to the public. Every exterior component of the product including the screen made from Corning Gorilla Glass 5s has been treated with Addmaster Biomaster antimicrobial technology and tested to ISO 22196. The technology inhibits the growth of microbes on the phone surface offering protection for the lifetime of the unit. Research shows that mobile phones harbor thousands of germs, with one University of Michigan study finding in excess of 17,000 bacteria on handsets. According to research from Deloitte, on average we interact with our mobile devices around 47 times daily. Bacteria or other microorganisms can easily transfer from the hard surfaces of your phone to your hands and face. Biomaster technology combines with the existing CAT phone rugged credentials that ensure the device can be thoroughly and regularly washed with soaps and water, sanitizers and even bleach.
