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.
Check out the videos below and watch the space for more pitch events in the near future.
