UK Uni Startups

We find the best takeaways for students in each university town and put them online. It is then quicker and easier for students to locate their best local restaurants and order food online from them. We also negotiate exclusive discounts with each restaurant, so it's cheaper for students to order through us. We were started by students at Nottingham University, but have recently expanded to Brunel, Leeds and Manchester. Let me know what you think!

A friend of mine is running his own hosting company - advertising and promotion is aimed at students in order to encourage them to explore web development skills.

The hosting prices are reflective of being aimed at students too :p

I have created three tools to find discounts on Amazon. There's the Amazon Price Alerts, Amazon Discount Finder and Amazon Browser.
Give them a try and provide some feedback please.

Hi, I am exploring a new parcel delivery concept that is a fair bit different then the rest and will present an entirely different proposition to the UK market.

So , i have devised a quick survey to test has some potential, so please feel free to try it and encourage some of your friends and parents to as well...( i really need a good mix of people to get a clear picture of the market )

click on : http://tiny.cc/survey432 and complete the 3-5mins survey .

It does not matter if you don't send any parcels , ( but equally, if your a secret ebayer merchant, then that would be cool too!)

Feel free to leave your contact details on the survey if you wish to know more about the concept and what makes it different.
Many thanks,

The examples the author cites:

- a film which was released in 'beta' at Cannes, giving it a bad name

- voice-recognition of contact names for mobiles, where the technology became widespread before it was usable

- his own experience of demoing a product without a nice interface to a client, causing the client to lose faith in the project.

What is the commonality between these three scenarios that isn't generally shared by web startups? (I don't know if the article was aimed at web startups, but it's relevant here). Each time, the crappy version 1 was shown to a large segment or some key players in the market (film critics, a huge number of mobile phone owners, and the sole client), and putting them off the product.

I have a friend who is worried about this for his web startup. "If people see it when it looks crap, they won't come back". The thing with web startups is the few hundred people who might see it in the crappy phase will likely be a very small slice of your total market.

Wish I could go, but you have to be based in Scotland to attend.

"Qualifying start-ups and entrepreneurs must be based in Scotland and have intent to start and grow high impact internet ventures. Students and recent graduates who are in the exploratory stage of such a process are welcome to sign up for the seminar as well."

Definitely worth applying for a place if you can, though
