The Noo aims to redefine the delivery space by facilitating the delivery of anything, anywhere, anytime from a single application. It argues that between February-April 2020, online food delivery weekly sales skyrocketed by 840% amidst a boom in e-commerce sales. The Noo points out that with every innovation in the name of convenience, people seem to expect more. It intends to deliver just that through its community platform allowing anyone to request anything at a price set by the requestor and finally, facilitate earning by simply owning a smartphone. The company also aspires to create a space where the local high street can compete with today's delivery giants. It will use the investment to enhance and launch its app, fund marketing campaigns, hire key personnel, and make The Noo visible across more cities.

Acknowledge Xc’s new online digital platform harnesses the power of existing school websites, enabling a pupil’s family members to follow their years at school.Having collaborated with top schools including Eton, Berkhamstead, Wellington College, Stowe School and Steiner Schools, Acknowledge is looking for investment to complete the build of its internet-based platform.As the platform is in the later stages of development, the company has already had a significant amount of collaborative input from schools and parents.Pupils jointly create profiles with their school, publishing videos, pictures and events relating to academic achievements and extra curriculum interests that could otherwise go unnoticed. Access is granted to extended family using secure methods, allowing these members to log in, view and even comment on a pupil’s activity. An additional feature of this platform is that each profile can be used to supplement a pupil’s academic CV and enhance applications for different schools. It acts as proof of past commitments and extra curricular activities and can support personal statements.The key market for Acknowledge is the independent schools sector in the UK which has around 500,000 pupils in 1200 schools. The company also has plans for expansion into overseas markets, and has estimated this market to contain around 3 million pupils – a figure which looks set to double by 2022. A revenue share scheme is in place to reward schools with a charitable donation and a referral fee is in place to reward those who help the model grow quickly.
