Rightangled at WorldLabs Elevating Ideas 2018

WorldLabs connects entrepreneurs and organisations to support innovation internationally, offering a shared space to build partnerships, network, collaborate on projects, crowdsource ideas and raise funds.

Its aim is to help ideas develop by providing the funding, connections and tools they need. More than 500 innovators and entrepreneurs attended the Elevating Ideas conference in 2018, which brought together investors, founders and industry experts for a day of talks, networking, workshops and a live pitch event featuring ten start-ups.

Why events like this matter

Many promising early-stage projects fail through lack of resources, support or funding rather than lack of merit. The Elevating Ideas competition was created to give entrepreneurs a platform to present their work, find collaborators and gather the support needed to progress.

Rightangled took part in the 2018 conference, discussing its DNA testing service with people across the UK start-up ecosystem.

Speakers at the event

  • Peter Cowley — President of the European Business Angel Network, angel investor and technology entrepreneur
  • Tim Sawyer CBE — Chief Investment Officer at Innovate UK, former CEO of The Start Up Loans Company
  • Divinia Knowles — Founder of Daijo, former COO of Pact Coffee and CFO of Mind Candy
  • Andrius Biceika — Head of Business Development at Revolut
  • Eduardo Martinez Barrios — Head of Open Banking at Santander
  • Sarah Lamptey — Presenter
  • Dr David Brown — Co-founder and CSO of Healx
