Geraint is a digital transformation specialist focusing on social care and has been a member of Innovation Labs since March 2020.
Innovation Labs has been instrumental in the success of his start-up business. So much so that after three and a half months, he was approached by a company wanting to merge. He decided to sell and is now the owner of a larger company.
"I was originally interested in Innovation Labs for the coworking space it offered, however it has benefitted my business in ways I could not have imagined. This became clear during the lockdown when the premises were forced to close, and I enjoyed a “virtual membership."
"I was surprised by what I found myself part of. The founders each reached out to offer me support and advice to help me grow my business. These people are experts in what they do and the mentoring they offer is the making of your business. I found myself listening to and valuing the conversations I had."
"Selling my business was not a decision to make lightly and I leant on the Innovation Labs advisors for their thoughts. This was invaluable at the time, and today, they still support me via referrals, leveraging their own networks, and giving great advice."
"Innovation Labs is supporting me to position myself as a thought leader in CareTech. I could not do this without the support of Innovation Labs, and I hope this will be a game changer for my company. To be part of this is vital for any start up, so I would urge anyone starting their first innovative business, but finding it hard to make the right connections, to apply for a virtual membership – they won’t regret it!"
Ellis joined Innovation Labs in February 2020. His company develops a range of B2C technology solutions, comprising of Queue Pay, Queue Card, and the Virtual Highstreet, which allow for easy e-commerce purchasing. His technology has been increasingly used in pubs and restaurants throughout the course of the Covid pandemic.
"When I signed up for an Innovation Labs membership, my company was essentially a team of two working on just the one product, Queue Pay. Since joining, the support and guidance from the advisors at Innovation Labs has enabled me to scale-up at a rapid rate. I’ve gained new clients, been featured in the press, and have taken on a number of full time employees."
"The real value of Innovation Labs comes from experienced mentors such as Peter Brady, Peter Basford, and Hermione Way. They’ve worked with me closely since joining and have continually ensured that I have everything in place, answering any questions, and offering advice as my business grows."
"The support of Innovation Labs has been invaluable. I’d recommend any start up to apply for a virtual membership. The advice, skills, and support you receive are a massive boon and will help your business succeed and progress to the next level."
