Springboard

After taking in hundreds of applications from over the globe we narrowed them down to the top four teams.  They arrived in Cambridge and the last few weeks have been a blur for everyone (hence the really late announcement).  We sorted out their accommodation, space to work and they’ve been making great progress so far.  A brief introduction to each team is below and we’re expecting great things from them.

Overall, we’ve got a great line-up of speakers coming in and were still finalising the last few.  You can see an updated list on the speakers page and we’ll be providing the highlights of each talk here as we go along.  There’s a backlog to get thorugh so check back over the next couple of days to catch up with our last few speakers.

PagerDuty is an alarm dispatching service for system administrators and support teams. The co-founders, Alex, Andrew and Baskar came over from Toronto, Canada.

Good Economics is developing solutions that allow banking providers to capitalise on the demand for personal money management.  Matt and Peter were working in London before coming up to Cambridge for Springboard.

Meta Alternative is a Cambridge-based startup that specialises in the fields of Microsoft .NET optimisation and static code analysis. Lyudmila and Vitaly were on our doorstep and had the shortest journey to the office.

TidePowerd is building tools to help developers take advantage of the enormous speedups available from GPGPU computing. Jack and Nick are both recent University graduates and made the trip over from Alabama, USA.

You can read a little more about each of the teams on the Start-ups page.
