11 of the best technology companies in the North-West 2014

Tech Invest Liverpool saw the brightest prospects in the North-West tech scene present for some of the best investors in the sector: Read on for profiles of the presenting companies.

What better setting to hold our maiden Tech Invest North West forum than against the backdrop of the International Festival for Business 2014 – a truly inspiring period.

Over the last six weeks the city of Liverpool has been host to a wide range of business events, drawing in people from all over the world. From chancellor George Osborne to Cobra Beer founder Lord Bilimoria, some of the most salient issues have been explored in the hope that Britain can continue in its quest to become one of the globe’s best places to start, run and exit businesses. And what great news that we will see the return of the festival in two years.

As a city, Liverpool provides a great example of the kind of enterprise growth that the UK has enjoyed during the last few years. From a city once dominated by shipbuilding and the cotton trade, Liverpool is now a hotbed of start-up activity – fuelled by a growing array of incubators, university partnerships and shared working spaces.

Through my editorship of GrowthBusiness, I come face-to-face with these kinds of business builders every day and hear of their struggles to secure the requisite funding in the short time period available to capitalise on an opportunity.

Following on from our North-West technology forum, here are the brilliant people and enterprises we saw coming together to present for us and the investors. It’s a great privilege to have been able to connect these high-potential start-ups with investors hungry to be involved in their journey and development.

Clowdy

Presenter’s name: Stuart Logan

Presenter job title: Founder and CEO

Based in: Manchester

Founded in: 2012

No. of Employees:  13

In 2010, Stuart Logan created Amnis Technology Ltd, a tech company which has generated over 5 million downloads of their software products and £1.4 million annual revenues. Using the business and marketing experience he gained from Amnis Technology, Stuart started Clowdy Ltd and has invested over £400k into the company.

Recent Milestones:

  • Reached 50,000 users and 8000 uploads

  • Secure influential content partnerships in creative industries

Background Profile

Today, digital artists are restricted to one media type per service – but they often work and collaborate across different media formats. This means they are forced to distribute on many different services. Clowdy makes digital distribution and consumption simple by letting artists upload all their media in one place.

Inside track

Clowdy founder Stuart Logan started his first company in 2010, a software development company that created simple Windows applications. He grew this from just himself to a team of 6 people, 5 million downloads and over £1.4m annual revenue.

He says the idea for Clowdy came when he found it frustrating that “audio and video was spread across different online services when it really doesn’t need to be”.

The company recently reached 50,000 signed up users, which Logan describes as “a big milestone”. It was also recently selected as the UK winners for the Creative Business Cup. This means it gets to represent the UK in the international competition later in the year.

Logan says an extra funding will be used to push on to 250,000 users and improve capabilities for both IoS and Android users.

Recent Technology

Clowdy has developed a simple digital media distribution platform that allows publishers to upload, host and sell through Clowdy and to distribute to existing third party solutions such as YouTube and Facebook. For consumers, we have iOS and Android applications that enable social interaction as well as our web interface.

  • Strategic relationship with Ogivly

Upcoming Milestones

Background Profile

We turn language into data. By using a complex data model we are experts in comparing language sets. Brands use this capability to understand how they position against competitors, and what messages and language style to use with customers.

Inside track

Relative Insight CEO Ben Hookway had already founded and managed early stage technology companies before his latest venture.

He was in San Francisco during the dot com boom, and had subsequently returned to the UK and founded a mobile phone technology company. After gaining VC funding for that and having a successful exit, he consulted with VCs and saw a lot of what works and what doesn’t. The “outstanding” technology core of Relative Insight convinced him to work with the founders.

The business’s owners are primarily language analysis experts and have previously worked in law enforcement. They soon realised could properly measure and quantify the language assets around them; social media, reviews, forums, branding. They now do this at massive scale and provide very strong insights for their clients.

Hookway says any extra funding raised would go towards increasing the R&D function and to build a larger presence in the US.

Recent Technology

Our core technology is the Interaction Analysis Engine. Base on over 10 years of R&D from Lancaster University, this platform turn text language into data and applies comparisons to the data sets. It runs as a cloud based service accessed by a dashboard and managed by Relative Insight.
