We’ve had an amazing year at Simpleweb.

We invested in four new startups in 2015; The Crowd, OLIO, Ordable and one that we won’t be announcing until next year (but that we’re very excited about!). To share their successes (and failures!), we created our new website to tell the stories of the wonderful people that we work with.

We’re extremely proud of our investment portfolio (five in total). We’ve invested £140,000 in 2015 and all of the businesses are going from strength to strength. Between them, our portfolio has raised over £2,000,000 in investment this year, bringing their collective value to over £9,000,000. Between them, they employ 22 people and will be creating even more new jobs next year; we’re very proud to be helping create jobs, and within such great companies.

We delivered 11 products in total, including 2 internal engagement tools for EMC, 6 MVPs, and 2 new internal productsMyGas and #GetStarted.

In 2015, we welcomed 6 work experience students into the Simpleweb office, from designers, to marketeers to entrepreneurs. The Simpleweb team itself has grown by 5 people. We’ve also donated over £18,000 to charities.

And finally, we’ve estimated that we played nearly 2,000 games of pool last year, and drank over 4,000 cups of coffee. We don’t need to know how much cake we’ve eaten…

We love working on amazing products, but success is really down to amazing people. A huge thank you to our wonderful team and the awesome entrepreneurs we’ve worked with this year.

We can’t wait for 2016. Bring it on!
