A group of entrepreneurs with ideas spanning film making, ecommerce and fashion sampling have showcased their businesses at a Newcastle event.
Founders behind 14 startups are the latest to complete Ignite's pre-accelerator programme, which aims to develop very early stage businesses that are still at concept stage or only just launched. Marking the end of the five month programme, teams were given the chance to pitch to an audience at the Boiler Shop.
Among the cohort, which received weekly workshops and mentoring as well as £10,000 equity-free funding, was Jonny Chambers with his firm Brava. The startup offers a secure way to book event tickets and facilitates services such as pre-booked drinks that are ready for collection as punters arrive at the venue.
