GrantTree state of the union: 3x growth, £1m turnover reached, lessons learnt
- swombat 13y agoIf anyone has any follow-up questions, I'm happy to answer them.
- Major_Grooves 13y agoGlad to see this is going well for you. I met you back in 2009 or 2010 I think when you first started doing this and I was doing Affect Labs (FestBuzz), which didn't really work out. I'm now working on another UK startup (Satago) so might come your way for some grant advice soon.
- swombat 13y agoSure, please do get in touch! :-)
- Sujan 13y agoI love the communication style on GrantTree's website. Do you know any similar services with a similar style in other countries? (i.e. Germany)
- swombat 13y agoI don't, at the moment, unfortunately. If anyone here is running such a company and wants to let me know, I'd be happy to pass people their way, as we do regularly get this question...

- realshalmaneser 13y agoInterestingly, the UK government has today made all company accounts free to access, which should help lots of other small businesses to understand how their business is performing versus their competitors http://www.cosights.com/blog/uk-government-makes-company-accounts-free-to-access/ http://www.cosights.com/blog/uk-government-makes-company-acc...
- swombat 13y agoThat's nice! Duedil has already offered these records for free, but it's nice to see the government catching up.
- Nanzikambe 13y agoGreat article, but aren't you supposed to be beering it up rather than f5'ing HN? :)
- swombat 13y agoChampagne is coming out in about half an hour I think :-)
- realshalmaneser 13y agoDuedil makes some of the underlying data free to access, but not the actual accounts documents themselves. They charge you to access these - now they will be freely available from Companies House
- charlieirish 13y agoIt will be interesting to see what Duedil and companies like CreditSafe do now... they'll have some competition on their hands. swombat, Is any of the grant / tax credit data available in the public domain? It might be an interesting indicator to the growth of UK startups.
- xwowsersx 13y agoThis is awesome. Chatted with you on IRC a couple of times before Swombat - thanks for the thoughtful advice and a willingness to help always.
