I helped to found the Difference Engine, a 13 week bootcamp programme, based in the North East of England. The first batch of 9 teams "graduated" in June 2011 - from which 5 teams have had follow on funding.

Following the success of the programme I was approached to help relaunch the Springboard.com programme based in Cambridge University - funded by the backing of a consortia of Angel Investors. We are in the middle of applications and will accept teams from anyone on the planet. We have received overwhelming support both from the Cambridge and London entrepreneurial community.

Based upon the success we have achieved before we are definitely aiming to get over 50% of our teams funded.
