iMetaFilm

Seed Round in 2019
iMetaFilm is set to revolutionise the film archive industry with its unique take on digitisation, storage and distribution. This will not only change the way they rediscover degrading or ‘lost’ footage, but will allow us to enhance its quality, preserve its content, and share it forever. Every single day, they lose film footage of enormous historical and cultural importance, because up until now, they have been unable to salvage or properly preserve its invaluable content – images that will never be seen nor shared, and ones that can never be replaced. iMetafilm provides the solution with their 3 unique innovations. The MetaScanner is the first part of a radical digitisation process where existing 8, 16 or 35mm film travels quickly through a simple, sprocket-less system. This film-friendly approach is exceptionally gentle, and ensures that any contact is kept to an absolute minimum. Images are captured at speeds of up to 25 frames per second, shooting in super high definition up to 8k to ensure every detail is preserved. Innovative MetaWeaver software then enhances the image before vital information such as content descriptions, film languages, or subtitles are stored in ‘digital air’. This clever management of metadata makes the content searchable, accessible and sharable. iMetaFilm has created a film archiving process that is fast, cost effective and ultimately future proof, making the unseen available to all, and for future generations to experience and share.

This film-friendly approach is exceptionally gentle, and ensures that any contact is kept to an absolute minimum. Images are captured at speeds of up to 25 frames per second, shooting in super high definition up to 8k to ensure every detail is preserved. Innovative MetaWeaver software then enhances the image before vital information such as content descriptions, film languages, or subtitles are stored in ‘digital air’. This clever management of metadata makes the content searchable, accessible and sharable. iMetaFilm has created a film archiving process that is fast, cost effective and ultimately future proof, making the unseen available to all, and for future generations to experience and share.

Flexiworkforce

Seed Round in 2014
Flexiworkforce was established in 2013 by Tracey Eker, an energetic Aussie with a background in finance and business-to-business sales who became frustrated when trying to find good-quality part-time work, which fitted around her childcare and other commitments. "Most of the jobs being advertised by recruitment agencies were either full-time or the wrong time and online recruitment sites were hard to navigate or served up franchise adverts and lots of low quality jobs. Searching for these jobs became a part-time job in itself!" Talking to others, Tracey found that this was a huge issue. Not only was an army of skilled people unable to make the most of their potential but UK employers were reporting growing skills shortages. Over a year was spent on extensive market research and with the help of business mentors a business plan emerged and Flexiworkforce was born. Flexiworkforce is the UK’s newest job site dedicated to all forms of modern flexible work for skilled individuals across all sectors, genders and demographics. Flexiworkforce is ‘Making work…work’.
