A taxi and on-demand delivery service using electronically assisted, high-tech cargo bikes to offer a cleaner, faster and cheaper means of transportation. Pedal Me uses highly trained riders within London to carry almost any load, including two adults, which can all be booked through their app.
Between October 2017 and September 2018, Pedal Me generated revenues of more than £125k. They will be allocating investments towards increasing efficiency and improving pickup times.
Funds in this round will be used to add more bikes, riders and use smarter technology. Pedal Me aims to have more than 30 bikes within a 3-mile radius from the city centre. This will result in reducing pickup times to less than 8 minutes from a booking being placed. In addition, the company will 'stack' delivery jobs, which means one rider will be able to carry out multiple orders in a single journey and will therefore allow Pedal Me to keep prices down for customers. Future plans include expanding the service to the rest of the UK and overseas.

Hemspan states that it designs bio-based building systems and products for construction by combining modern methods, technology and hemp to produce net-zero carbon solutions. The company argues that every time an average house is built, the CO2 emitted by the manufacture, transport and assembly of the materials used is around 50 to 60 tonnes. Hemspan says that one hectare of UK-grown industrial hemp can absorb 11 tonnes of CO2 each year with regeneratively farmed hemp capable of sequestering a further 6 tonnes per hectare of CO2 into the soil each year. Hemspan intends to activate significant demand for hemp farming in the UK and develop processing technologies to reduce reliance on imports and enable large scale manufacturing of bio-based cladding and insulation products that spin out of R&D programmes. It asserts that the global industrial hemp market is expected to grow at 25% CAGR reaching US$ 27 billion by 2028. It aims to be a contender in this segment.
