Nic was thrilled to be asked to come aboard as SETsquared Bristol‘s second CTO in residence. Having helped startups take their
products to market since 2011, Nic leapt at the opportunity. A few of our lovely clients are SETsquared members and we’ve always admired the work they do!
Once a month, Nic will spend a Friday helping SETsquared members with their various tech challenges and offer advice on how to plan and scale their technical team.
Happy Birthday Yuup! π
This month we celebrated Yuup’s 1st birthday! From launching in the middle of lockdown, they’ve grown into the go-to destination for
experiences in Bristol and their host base has gone from 40 at launch to over 160.
In that year we’ve been working hard on platform functionality such as search filtering and gift credit capabilities while the team at Yuup have focussed on growing their host base and inspiring the Bristol community to try something new.
Other news!
Happy Birthday Josh!
