😭 RIP Upside Savings
Hello fine people.
Such intense sadness is around us. I can’t bring myself to be chirpy in this newsletter. We have all been saying “we live in strange times” over the last 2 years, but little did we know. Read below to see how you can help 🇺🇦, don’t feel guilty if you can’t.
🇺🇦 Can you help?
Ukrainian refugee supply mission is planned from Norfolk.
A growing group of people from north Norfolk are planning to drive vans to the Ukrainian border to deliver food and much-needed supplies for the war refugees fleeing the country.
They need canned food, nappies, blankets and hygiene products because most of the arrivals are young women with children and babies. There's less need for clothes right now.
Donations can be dropped off at Cafe Kitale, North Walsham. Anyone who wants to find out more can call 01692 407015.
Also, if you want to build something on top of Rainbird platform, then you are free to do so. Read more here.

💸 Pikl - This has been long-awaited. Pikl is fundraising again. They have chosen to crowdsource via Seedrs. So far they have raised £2.2M, at a valuation of £13M. Pikl is the one to watch, the sharing economy is only going to grow, and traditional insurance companies do not have products for this industry.
🌊 WATR - After an impressive pitch to the Angel Investors from Anglia Capital Group, WATR successfully secured £75,000 funding for their clean-tech start-up (via TechEast)
🙉 Scoop - I have a scoop on scoop, but can’t share the scoop, soz!
😭 Upside Savings - the bad news is Upside Savings went into administration, but the good news is they were acquired by Cheddar. I was a user of their app myself, it was so easy to get cashback. They had a lot of success last year, but then in Feb they sadly pulled their app from the app store. There was a great team behind the app, so I am sure they will get snapped up. I see Matthew Brookson has already joined Artlist.
🗞️ Regional News - to get some updates from across the region, check out the 6min March Update from Tech East.
📛 nor(DEV):con - Finally, I highly recommend you attend this great conference, the eastern region's biggest tech conference.
