Mission Alumni, ParcelGenie, in Metro & Venture Candy Competition
During my dreary morning commute this morning, I was flicking through the Metro only to stumble across a feature including UKTI Mission to SXSW Alumni, ParcelGenie.
A couple of months ago, Metro and Venture Candy launched a hunt for the new enterprises within the categories; Design & Technology, Food & Drink, Green, Health & Beauty and Fashion & Interiors.
Of the 1500+ entrants, seven in each category were grilled infront of a judging panel before the shortlists were cut to a final three; Bednest, ParcelGenie and TouchType.
Today, Metro readers are able to vote for their favourite by text, with lines closing at 11.59pm tonight. You can also vote on Venture Candy's site til 11.59pm on Monday 25th July.
Voting by Text (Copied from the Metro)
If you'd like to vote - text TECH followed by a space and your voting option (1 for Bednest, 2 for ParcelGenie or 3 for TouchType to 65400). For example, to vote for Bednest, text TECH 1.
Texts cost 50p plus your standard network charge. Lines close at 11.59pm tonight. If you text after the closing date, your vote will not be counted but you may still be charged. Usual terms and conditions apply - see metro.co.uk.
