Tom Hatton and Ian Forshew the Co-Founders of RefME share insights of the research and education market. RefME is one of ten TOP UK tech startups, adding 5-30k new users every day and they are about to close one of the largest pre-revenue seed round funding in Europe. They also believe that the UK tech scene is a really cool place to be as the state has given incentives and encouraged people to place money in the startup scene. Interviewed by Sakis Triantafyllakis for Tech Talks Central.

 

8:05 “..coincidentally today, we may actually also be signing our seed round investment which will be announced over the next month or so which we are also really happy about. It’s probably one of the largest pre-revenue seed rounds in Europe…”

 

8:45 “..the buzz word of tech is data. Well our data is better than anybody’s. It fuels the knowledge economy and has the potential to improve research efficiency…”

 

10:10 “..it’s massively exciting to be part of the London tech scene…it’s a really cool place to be and some of the things the government has done (EIS & SEIS) is to really encourage people to put money in the startup scene…”
