Keeping an eye on entrepreneurs

A few weeks ago the 2019 Royal Bank of Scotland Great British Entrepreneur Awards published their shortlisted finalists and I’ve been curious to check the many companies and great ideas assembled there. During the summer, googling a few every day, I started putting together the list below with website links a one line description with keywords of the companies. I’ll keep on adding as I search for more.

Entrepreneurial success is difficult to define, and to report about. News about startups rarely have in depth information about how much they invoiced, profit they made, or how many jobs they created. Rarely discuss what social need they helped answer. Many companies only made the news when receiving awards or when raising money from investors, which is a tricky measure of good future prospects for a new company.

An awards’ nominee list could be a starting resource to explore the past and present of several related startups, see if/how they survived the first months and years, how the skills of their employees and the focus of the company evolved. Apart from the company’s website, the names of the founders and leading employees can dig out a lot of information about the history and ongoing endeavours of a company, from local news, twitter, linkedIn, financial reports websites, etc.
