Flat-Club’s spent its first year with the LBS Incubator Programme which was invaluable. Support from the Incubator was critical to building our first working relationships with top tier universities, attracting our first customers and establishing credibility in the eyes of students, faculty, staff and alumni who we are building Flat-Club for.
Year 2 has been a
rollercoaster.
Kicking off 2012 we
were selected #1 in the TechCrunch
One Sentence Pitch Competition in January. Though a small competition for
TechCrunch, it boosted our profile and confidence that Flat-Club’s model of
renting within trusted networks had mileage.
Through spring and
summer of 2012 we raised our first round,
grew the team and moved to Google TechHub London at the Old Street roundabout. It has been very exciting
sharing space with other cutting edge start-ups and having access to the
ecosystem resources for contacts and advisement.
In late fall this
year we made our first major push into the US Market launching
Flat-Club in over 30 top universities and business schools in America; our US30 campaign.
We’re proud to have
earned the attention of great press
during the year and find it extremely rewarding to see prestigious publications
such as The
Guardian, Forbes,
and the Financial
Times cover pieces of the Flat-Club story.
We are celebrating
Flat-Club’s second birthday inspired by the team’s accomplishments and even
more excited about where we’re headed for 2013.
So to celebrate turning 2 we want to express an enormous thank you to
all of our advisors, partners, friends, staff and most importantly – customers.
Our team is passionate about bringing the benefits of Flat-Club to the
students, alumni, faculty and staff of many more top universities to come.
