Seven start-ups using location, land and property data in their products and services have been accepted onto the Geovation Accelerator Programme<\/h2>\n

Over the next 12 months, the 7 start-ups will receive a range of resources, including access to experienced software developers, geospatial expertise from Ordnance Survey<\/a>, property expertise from HM Land Registry<\/a> and mentorship on business proposals and investor relationships, as part of the Geovation Accelerator. They will also receive up to \u00a320,000 in funding.<\/p>\n

Over the past 12 months PropTech company\u00a0Hipla<\/a>\u00a0has been a member of Geovation\u2019s Accelerator Programme. The company has been receiving assistance to develop a Home Buyer Passport, which aims to improve transparency in the home buying process. This launches soon.<\/p>\n

Hipla co-founder, Adam Phillips, said: \u201cReceiving the backing, guidance and help from HM Land Registry, Geovation and Ordnance Survey has helped our early-stage start-up gain a much steadier footing than it otherwise would have done.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir help with early stage funding, office space, data and market insights has been invaluable. Their support has meant we are now in a much better position to deliver on our objectives of improving the home buying process.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pae Natwilai, founder of drone software company\u00a0Trik<\/a>, was accepted onto the programme last year. Her company automatically turns drone photo feeds into interactive 3D models for the structural inspections of buildings.<\/p>\n

She said: “Through Geovation we have grown our team significantly and managed to secure pre-seed investment from two amazing investors, Alex Chesterman, the founder of Zoopla, and Simon Franks, founder of Lovefilm.<\/p>\n

“Next for us is scaling up the system and marketing it globally. We are currently finalising a deal with a couple of large engineering enterprises both in the UK and internationally.<\/p>\n

“The Geovation Accelerator Programme is delivered and funded jointly by Ordnance Survey and HM Land Registry. It has been designed to provide start-ups with specialist help in the aim of helping unlock the hidden value in the nation\u2019s data.”<\/p>\n

Alex Wrottesley, head of Geovation, said: “We offer a founder-friendly environment, great mentors, high-quality workshop content and, almost uniquely, a dedicated software development team in house, who work hand in hand with our companies to build and release their first products.”<\/p>\n
