Who is coming to NW Start Up 2.0 - the premier web 2.0 and SaaS event in the North West
I have just been sorting out the name tags for the event (shame on those who have not given me their names, company names and designations!). Here is a list of entrepreneurs who have brought or in the process of bringing products and solutions to the market (please note web developers, outsourcing experts, etc have been ignored):
- Anish Kapoor and Philip Hemsted - CEO and Director (respectively) of Yuuguu - Solutions for teleworker - in private beta (first round funding by Rising Stars)
- David Terrar - MD of Twinfield UK - online accounting web service, web sites and collaboration solutions.
- Ivan Pope - CEO of Snipperoo - Widgets (seeking equity finance)
- Manoj Ranaweera - CEO of ebdex - Document Exchange with first application being EIPP (yes that's me) (seeking equity finance + strengthening management team)
- Rhys Jones - CEO of Accountis - EIPP (Accountis is well established and funded) - I believe Rhys is working on some new ideas.
- Robert Wakeling - CEO of Wadaro - Mobile Networking Software (seeking equity finance)
- Sam Sethi - CEO of Vecosys (in addition running the UK TechCrunch franchise) - Sam is working on few ideas which have not yet been publicised.
- Simon Grice - Founder of etribes (host of this site)
This is not a bad start. So far 35 have confirmed attendance. The programme for the event is:
- 18:15 - Doors open
- 18:30 - Networking
- 19:00 - Keynote speech by Sam Sethi
- 19:15 - Panel and Q&A Session
- 20:00 - Networking

Due to a family tragedy, Imran Ali is not able to attend the event. Sam, thanks for stepping into fill the gap.
