Over 200 people packed in to see the Class of 2016 startups share their knowledge on the latest and greatest in marketing and advertising technology. Collider investors put a total of £700K into the Class of 2016 startups - alongside expert one-to-one coaching and incredible industry connections. All of this culminated in Demo Day - the public launch of their products.
Three of Collider's brand partners, Haymarket, Exterion Media and Unilever, took to the stage with three Collider alumni, Momentum, Seenit, and Find the Ripple, to talk about the experiences of brands working with startups two years on from where the Class of 2016 are. Insightful and actionable discussions set the stage for the Class of 2016 founders.
Here are the Collider Class of 2016 startups.

The audience voted during each startup's presentation regarding how they imagine using the startup's technology within the brand or agency they work for. Ranging from not understanding the product to needing to use it right away, the Collider team weighted and added up the answers, with Goopi coming out on top. Congratulations!
