Tapp

Tapp is developing a software-only POS suite—tap-on-phone payments, eshop self-order, Native AI data platforms, and AI-assisted menu/setup - to help small UK service businesses ditch expensive hardware POS, solve slow service and rising operating costs, and stay compliant by default, powered by our ultra-fast UX, AI onboarding, leading AI features, and embedded payments. Independent cafés, massage parlors, and any other service spots are squeezed by hardware terminals, clunky back-office flows, and staffing shortages—which translates to slower turnover, longer queues, and lost revenue. Operators also face VAT/receipt/tips complexity and card-data obligations that traditional POS doesn’t simplify. The market is crowded, but legacy and “one-size-fits-all” tools still mean slow UI, multi-minute setup, and rigid pricing. Our analysis of UK-relevant providers shows many still require dedicated hardware or fragmented QR solutions—creating cost, training, and integration friction for small teams. Whilst providing insights on all the data collected, without the user having to ask. Tapp replaces boxes and paper with a phone-first POS: - Tap-to-Pay on iPhone & Android: take contactless cards/Wallets directly on staff or owner smartphones—no reader required. Fully productised in our “Staff” flow. - QR self-order, eshop & pay: guests scan, order, tip, and receive receipts digitally; staff stay focused on giving the best service, not card machines. - AI onboarding & menu import: snap a menu or upload a file; Tapp auto-parses categories/items, generates a store description, and lets owners tweak with guardrails (VAT, pricing, tags, duration). - Built-in compliance for UK SMBs: support for e-receipts, VAT invoice scenarios, and transparent tip/service handling—plus card-data best-practice via our payments stack. - Embedded payments on Adyen: unified acquiring, wallet rails, refunds/chargebacks, payouts, and potential embedded finance/share—with clear IC++ economics and SoftPOS fees. - Elite performance: our internal tests show UX runs 2.7× faster LCP and 3.3× less blocking than a leading competitor—keeping staff in “flow” during rush. Why this wins: zero hardware CAPEX, minutes-not-weeks deployment, faster service cycles, and fewer receipt/VAT/tips headaches—all in a single app the team already knows how to use (their phone). Feature depth is production-ready across signup/KYC, menu, staff, orders, payout views, and refunds per our shipped user stories. Whilst (soon) providing industry-breaking intelligence to make the small merchants play in the big leagues. We started Tapp after watching small venues spend too much on terminals and too long wrestling slow software—only to still miss orders at peak. We dug into the UK compliance tangle (VAT, receipts, tips) and saw a chance to bake the rules into the workflow, not bolt them on. Then we validated the experience with hard performance data and a best-in-class payments partner so owners can serve more customers with less kit and less stress. That’s why we’re doing this: give time back to small operators with a POS that is fast, compliant, and delightfully simple.

In an optimal world the perfect tutor lives right around the corner, but that’s simply not the case in real life. Right now, families in many places don’t have access to quality tutors.

AI Flow Chat

No-code workflow tool for automating and chaining AI prompts. Features a drag-and-drop builder, model flexibility, one-click sharing as apps, and reusable automation templates The biggest issue with working with prompt chaining in ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude is that the increased chat length makes the AI begin to hallucinate. For example, if you want to prompt the AI to write an article, it's almost impossible for it not to begin to make slop and ignore/forget your instructions. For most people, this tool will not be that interesting. Chat interfaces are king for quick questions. But if you've struggled with generating consistent, high quality, content using ChatGPT, then you know exactly the problem this solves.

Doubble

Something is wrong with how we meet new people. Meeting new people is supposed to be exciting, spontaneous and fun. Yet, datings apps have turned it into a monotonous routine. All dating apps claim to be different, but they are essentially all a speed dating game played in solo mode with a pool of strangers. It’s a game of swipe, match and “hey, what’s up” chats that rarely lead anywhere. Sometimes you miraculously get past the boring smalltalk, dodge the ghosting and actually meet! But more often than not, the date you “won” feels like a boring coffee interview. We deserve better than that. That’s why we are creating a different experience of meeting new people. What if instead of playing this speed dating game by yourself, you are playing together with your friends. Instead of the coffee date interview, it’s more like going to a spontaneous party with your close friends and bumping into a crush. If we can bring our vision for this social network to life, a spontaneous adventure of meeting new people with your friends will always be just a few clicks away.

Boardway

Boardway is building an AI-powered board recruitment platform that helps companies find and hire the right board members and advisors. Our secret sauce combines AI matching, board analytics, and a vetted talent network to make board hiring faster, smarter, and more diverse. Finding qualified board members is still largely driven by personal networks and referrals, making the process slow, biased, and inefficient. Companies often struggle to identify candidates with the right expertise, while experienced professionals miss opportunities because they’re outside traditional networks. Boardway uses AI to match companies with board and advisory talent based on skills, industry experience, governance expertise, and company needs. Our platform streamlines sourcing, evaluation, and hiring through a data-driven recruitment workflow. We started Boardway because we saw how outdated and exclusive board recruitment remains. We believe better access to qualified board talent leads to stronger governance, better decisions, and ultimately better companies.

Our tech stack handles everything: automatic data-extraction from documents using AI, integration with national vehicle databases, fraud detection, full digital workflows and logistics orchestration.
