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.

Attavik

The Challenge: Billions of people live, work, or travel in areas without reliable network coverage. When disasters strike or infrastructure fails, communication often breaks down completely. This affects rural communities, NGOs, rescue workers, military units, and travelers worldwide. Our Solution: Attavik is building a patented communication system that works both online and offline. • Our app allows users to communicate directly up to 60 meters. • Our portable Wi-Fi routers extend that range, creating local, independent networks. No internet. No satellites. No telecom infrastructure. Just reliable communication – anywhere, anytime. Why We Started: The idea was born in Greenland, where daily life often means facing poor or non-existent connectivity. Experiencing this challenge firsthand inspired us to create Attavik. Our vision is simple: nobody should be cut off from communication – whether due to geography, crisis, or fragile infrastructure. Looking Ahead: With a patented solution, strong recognition (4 Seal-of-Excellences from EU Horizon & EIC Accelerator), and growing interest across industries, Attavik is ready to move from prototype to market.

PhoneStamp

PhoneStamp is developing a digital loyalty and marketing platform to help local shops build stronger customer relationships by combining effortless stamp collection with smart, data-driven marketing tools. Local businesses often struggle to compete with larger chains when it comes to customer retention and digital marketing. Paper punch cards are outdated and offer no insights, while complex digital tools are often too time-consuming or expensive. This leaves smaller shops—like coffee bars, wine bars, and ice cream parlors—at a disadvantage when trying to build customer loyalty or run targeted campaigns. It’s a widespread issue that affects countless independent retailers across Europe and beyond. We’ve built a plug-and-play digital loyalty system that works with a simple NFC "stamp" and a white-label app. Customers can collect stamps in seconds—no accounts, no QR scanning—and local shop owners get access to customer insights, audience targeting, and ready-to-use marketing features. Our platform gives them a direct marketing channel without needing to learn a new skill set or hire a marketing team. It all started with a simple question: why is getting a free coffee still stuck in the analog age? After speaking to dozens of local business owners, we saw a pattern—they were being left behind in the digital transition. We wanted to level the playing field by building something that feels just as easy and rewarding as a paper punch card, but powerful behind the scenes. We’re driven by the idea that local businesses should have access to the same tools and data as the big players, without the complexity.
