About Zoopla

Zoopla is a website and app that helps people make informed decisions about the property market. Changing home can be really exciting, but it can also be confusing and stressful. Zoopla’s industry-leading data and powerful software helps to take some of the stress out of the process, putting market knowledge in the hands of the people who need it.

The site lists millions of properties. Prospective buyers and renters can apply helpful filters to find the home that’s just right for them, while those looking to sell or let a property can discover what their place is worth. Zoopla’s house price estimates give a sense of what the market is doing in each area, giving owners a realistic understanding of the value of their homes, and giving buyers and tenants the information they need to avoid paying over the odds.

About graze

Convenience is at the forefront of Graze – the snack delivery business conceived by Graham, a founder of LoveFilm.

Like the DVD delivery service, Graze allows customers to order products online, where they can tailor their preferences and rate products to personalise the boxes they receive by post.

They can choose a subscription box, snooze their box if they’re going on holiday and stock up on favourite items.

The unique offering, smart marketing and obsessive commitment to customer satisfaction have led to millions of healthy eating customers.

The Graze team believes the healthy choice shouldn't mean compromising on taste. It’s rewriting the snacking rulebook for healthy people who care about the planet.

They've been pushing the boundaries of snacking, looking for bigger and better ways to graze since starting out in 2008. In the early days, they sent fresh fruit through the post – something that had never been done before.

Ever since, the company has listened to customers and used the best ingredients they can find to create delicious snacks people can feel great about eating.

About Memrise

Memrise is an app that helps users move easily from learning a language to using it in real life.

Many people think using a language is something you’ll do after you’ve learned it. But using a language in real situations, with real people, is how you learn it – it’s called language acquisition.

Founders Ed and Ben wanted to transform people’s general perceptions that learning is boring and hard.

It hit them that language immersion is how you acquire a language. That's because immersion means getting to know the language of native speakers, plus idioms, natural rhythms, emotional tone, body language and cultural habits that come with it.

Memrise is grounded in the knowledge that acquiring another language fundamentally changes: your perception of other countries, cultures, and people; how you interact and connect with others; the experiences you can have, as well as your emotional connection to them, and your potential – personally and professionally.
