RECENT ENTREPRENEURS
ARCHIVE
Myunitube was formed in November 2009 by Elliot Suiter and Matthew Hinkley. Since March when the idea was first thought up there have been numerous speedbumps trying to stop us from setting it up. Finding the right web developer, gaining funding from North East England Investment Centre and approaching advertisers.
INTERVIEW
Since the launch in November however, the business has gone from strength to strength. After struggling to gain advertisers on the site we approached a new revenue stream selling keyrings in nightclubs. We are now a major player in Newcastle selling keyrings, taking pictures and dirceting people to our site.
Until only recently we have stuck with myunitube and tried to push the name in Newcastle. On Febuary 22nd we met with a similar company student night out, who were opperating in Newcastle, Sunderland and Edinburgh. After talking with the owner we soon realised that competing wouldn’t benefit either of us but together we could create an even bigger company and rival the bigger competitors. So here we are now in March just 5 month since launching and about to become SetFresh ltd and launch a national campaign during the University freshers week. The business has come from relying on advertisers to merging and now opperating in 4 major cities with 25,000 students signed up and an even better web site. We look forward to the future and hope that over the summer we can build upon what we already have and even branch out into attending festivals.
