Last week, I was running the “HUGUK Goes Startup” event as part of the Hadoop Users Group UK at the Digital Catapult Center. A pitch session of 6 early-stage data- and analytics driven startups. HUGUK is a London-based meetup with a broad mix of 2800+ members who are techies, work in start-ups, founders or come from a corporate background. We run monthly meetups but this was the first startup pitch event.
