GymBuddy is an online platform that enables consumers to find, book, and attend a gym location, services, or products offered and operated by fitness studios, gyms, trainers, venues, or other third parties. Users can easily, through filtered searches on the app, view descriptions, and contact information of specialists within the fitness industry such as personal trainers, nutritionists, and physiotherapists. The UK fitness industry alone is currently worth over £5 billion. Based on recent statistics, the average gym membership in the UK costs members £40 a month, which often ties them into lengthy contracts. The GymBuddy app will enter the Health & Fitness club sector as a multi-gym membership feature that gives users access to gyms and various fitness plans, without the need for bricks-and-mortar locations under its brand. The company is seeking an investment of £400,000 to expand its brand identity and bring more users to its ecosystem to generate profits.

FloatWind manufactures mass-produced floating offshore wind turbines. It seeks to disrupt the £20 billion offshore wind energy market. The company argues that conventional offshore wind farms, installed at sea, use expensive and slow installation methods that are also dangerous to the marine environment. It further stresses that the high cost of installation is often borne by the consumer. FloatWind asserts that its business model is different. The company claims to build its products on land and then floats its ready-to-float turbines out to sea. The company points out that this reduces environmental damage, substantially reduces costs, and makes offshore wind energy cheaper. FloatWind was selected for a 6-month UK Innovate Edge business mentoring programme and appeared for SetSquared Business Mentoring Seminar in May 2021. The company has 3,000+ followers on LinkedIn. FloatWind states it will use the investment for product development, expanding its team, IP protection, promoting marketing and PR, and boosting its manufacturing capabilities.
