Glasgow based tech company Frog Systems has won this
year's Startup Summit
competition, following a live pitch to judges, watched by 1,000
online delegates. This audience heard about Frog Systems' video
based mental health and well being solution that captures the power
of lived experience to offer hope and support for those in
need.
Organised annually by FutureX, the Startup Summit competition
provides the winner with a fully funded place on the 2021 Silicon
Valley Scale programme, where they can connect with tech global
players and pitch to potential investors, plus a business support
package worth over £60k from organisations such as Johnston
Carmichael, STV and AAI.
Competition judge Hugh Lightbody, from Business Gateway said: "It's
evident that tackling the health and economic crisis that Covid-19
has wrought is taking its toll on mental health and wellbeing. Frog
Systems highlighted the massive economic cost of absenteeism and
lost productivity and the judges felt the company's approach to
supporting this huge issue made the greatest contribution to
wellbeing and the economy".
Phil Worms, CEO, Frog Systems (pictured) said, "Being recognised
as Startup Summit winner offers an exciting platform to build our
profile, as we look to market and scale the business."
