mScore™
One thing that stood out when supporting larger companies was the number of meetings and just how badly managed and delivered they were (most of the time).
We came up with the concept of ‘Trustpilot for Meetings’ as a way of providing feedback and helping a business improve its practices and become more efficient with happier staff.
Called mScore™, the application analyses thousands of data points across an organisation’s calendars to help leaders and individuals understand how many meetings are taking place, the cost of the meeting and how good the meetings really are.
Company Check
With initial capital in 2011 of £2k and a concept to build, test and iterate a freemium B2B credit report product, Company Check became the biggest source of free financial business data in the world.
In 2015:
28,000,000 visitors
167,000,000 searches
50,000,000 reports
A small team of 5 superb and talented people delivered these numbers.
We exited via a trade sale to Creditsafe in 2015.
Carsnip
Carsnip enabled automotive retailers to show all their available car stock without listing fees and give consumers more choices by building the ‘Google for cars’.
At its peak, Carsnip listed 750k cars, twice the number of Autotrader (UK) listings, from over 7500 dealers within 2 years. More than 50 of the top 100 automotive retailers, including Cambria, Marshall Motor Group, Sytner, and many more, were Carsnip clients.
