Managing and delivering software projects is no small task, especially when the project in question is a startup.
Marcin Zabawa, a Head of Service Delivery at STX Next, is going to Leeds next week to meet with one of our clients—a startup, no less.
With that in mind, we asked him to comment on some of the most promising up-and-coming companies in and around Leeds.
Since he was the perfect candidate for the job, he gladly took it upon himself to produce this article for you.
The startup industry is booming all over the world, whether it’s London, New York, or Tokyo.
But you know that, don’t you?
What you may not know is that the megacities are not the only places where the startup action is happening. There are also numerous hidden gems that may not be on your radar yet, thought they very much should.
One such startup gem is Leeds.
Why is that?
According to this report by Tech Nation, Leeds has experienced a 138% digital business birth increase from 2011 to 2016, with 168 startups founded by 2016 and a GVA of £1.3 billion as of 2017.
Furthermore, Leeds List has dubbed the city “one of the most exciting digital hubs in the UK.” Beyond attributing the success of Leeds to the general boom in the tech industry, they draw attention to the city’s massive growth potential for the future.
With all that in mind, I figured it was a no-brainer to compile a list of 6 most exciting startups in Leeds for you to keep an eye on.
I’ve chosen representatives from the following industries: consumer electronics, e-learning, staffing and recruiting, financial services, information technology and services, computer software.
