Zen Educate (zeneducate.com) is a fairer and better way to connect schools and teachers for supply work and long-term roles. We've built a marketplace that connects schools and teachers directly, cutting out the agency middlemen that have added a big layer of fees, bureaucracy, and a bad taste into the system for schools and teachers for too long. In the process, we're sucking out hundreds of thousands of pounds of waste from the education system that goes back to schools, teachers and ultimately pupils. With Zen, teachers don't get underpaid, spammed with endless calls and texts about irrelevant roles, and schools aren't ripped off and sent teachers and teaching assistants who don't pass the bar they need. We operate in London and Manchester and are growing quickly to provide a better service for schools and teachers than any traditional agency can provide.

In a world turbo-charged by social media, the old world of traditional consumer research is no longer enough. Where there’s slow and pre-emptive questionnaires and surveys, now there’s continuous big data, algorithms and machine learning. For some, it’s unknown territory. For Black Swan Data, it’s unprecedented possibilities. Black Swan Data is revolutionising consumer research through Social Prediction™. Using the most sophisticated data science and AI techniques, we unlock the full potential of social data to understand and predict consumer behaviour more accurately and further ahead than anyone else. It’s how we turn game-changing insights into a competitive advantage for global giants like PepsiCo, McDonald’s, Unilever, Mondelez and Danone. We’re fast movers. Since 2011, we’ve spread our wings across the UK, Hungary, USA and South Africa. Today our team of 260 Swans (and counting) includes data scientists, developers, insights consultants, analysts, designers, engineers and marketeers. But first, we’re entrepreneurs and champions of change who thrive on moving fast and breaking new ground. And our work is getting us noticed. In 2015 we were awarded the Sunday Times #1 Fastest Growing Start-Up. In 2016 we were named the UK’s Fastest Growing Exporter. And in both 2017 and 2018 we ranked high in the Financial Times 1000 Europe’s Fastest Growing Companies.  

Small businesses in South Africa need a little help... there is a massive payment acceptance gap. Over 75% of the adult population have cards, yet only 6% of the country's 4 million sellers can accept cards. Yoco was founded by 4 friends who set out to build Africa's first merchant payment aggregator to enable the smaller enterprise segments of the market to transact. Yoco offers merchants a choice of 2 mobile card readers that connect to their smart phone / tablet allowing them to accept payments quickly and simply. The solution goes beyond payment processing in that it includes a free point-of-sale app and a free business intelligence portal, enabling business owners to monitor store performance. Today, Yoco is the fastest growing payments company in South Africa (38% revenue growth in Nov). Being the only merchant aggregator in the market, the Yoco team is using technology and data to innovate on risk management and cost to serve, opening up new segments and growing the market.
