Futurising

Camden Town Unltd were offering three lucky Futurising graduates/graduate company's the amazing change to win six months free office space and mentoring in the heart of Camden.  After initial pitches both prior to Futurising and an afternoon of 2 minute pitches from attendees.  Camden Town Unltd met with their shortlisted candidates to discuss their work further.  It was a difficult decision but on 30th June in the early evening sunshine, three very lucky companies were given (literally) the keys to the door!

Said Matthew McMillan of CTU 'We were both surprised and delighted by the calibre of applications, and the quality and passion of the individuals driving these ideas. We received a staggering range of creative proposals, and we believe the future of entrepreneurship in this country is bright if this is representative of the quality of individual coming through LCC and other creative universities. It was a very difficult task to choose the eventual winners, but what made them really stand out was the business acumen they demonstrated to make their business proposal become reality. If there was a key tip to other applicants, we would say go back and develop the finance side of their ideas and stay in touch!'

And the winners are!
