I received a lot of support from the University of Birmingham. I received £1000 funding from the B-Enterprising Team, that was critical to early platform development and marketing, and also through countless 1-2-1's and incubator program invitations that allowed me to network, learn how to adopt the lean start-up strategy and leverage resources available to get to market as fast as possible.
