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.

Is It Time to Pivot from Corporate to Co-Founder? Great startups don’t fail because of bad ideas - they stall because they can’t reach the market. From deep-tech to consumer products, many early-stage ventures have strong teams and promising solutions - but lack the commercial insight to grow. Commercial Co-Founder is a programme designed for professionals ready to pivot out of traditional commercial roles and into high-impact roles within early-stage startups.

At Innovation Roundtable, our focus is on helping large multinational companies navigate one of their biggest challenges: innovating in complex, fast-changing environments. While most corporates understand the need to innovate, a lack of cross-functional collaboration, and difficulty translating new ideas into real business impact. We bring senior executives together across industries and geographies to share experiences, learn from each other, and explore practical approaches to innovation, digital transformation, and organizational change. By creating a trusted, peer-to-peer network through our Summits, workshops, and online community, we solve the problem of isolation and limited perspective that innovation leaders often face in their own companies. Our mission is simple: to make innovation in large firms less of a struggle and more of a shared journey, supported by learning, collaboration, and real-world insights.

Spontanique is a platform where venues can list last-minute availability in seconds and reach spontaneous bookers - with no upfront cost or added friction. Every day, cultural, fitness, and entertainment venues lose revenue due to last-minute cancellations and unsold capacity. These unfilled spots go unnoticed by people who might have attended - if they’d only known. Our customers are experience providers (gyms, studios, theatres, tour operators, venues etc.) that rely on consistent bookings. Many lack the tools or reach to market last-minute openings, and that results in economic inefficiency. On the consumer side, people are increasingly spontaneous - they book based on mood and availability, often just hours in advance. But the market isn’t built for them. We’re solving both problems: wasted capacity for venues and a lack of spontaneous discovery for consumers. We give customers a live feed of discounted experiences they can book right now, across categories like fitness, entertainment, wellness, and events. It’s seamless for partners (fully self-serve) and exciting for customers - who get access to great experiences that would otherwise be lost. We turn empty spots into revenue and spontaneous moments into opportunities. Our platform functions like a “Too Good To Go” for experiences - a win-win for both businesses and customers.
