Demo Night Cornwall: A Celebration of Startup Brilliance

Last night, the Canopy & Tech Cornwall communities gathered at the Fibre Hub in Cornwall for an unforgettable Demo Night! The evening was a true celebration of innovation, entrepreneurship, and community spirit. With five inspiring startups taking the stage to pitch their ideas, the room buzzed with excitement, creativity, and support. Here’s a recap of the evening and the brilliant startups that shone on stage.

The Startups That Took Centre Stage

1. Radical Wax
   Founder Kate Richards wowed us with her mission to revolutionize the surf wax industry. Radical Wax is an eco-friendly alternative to traditional toxic surf waxes, made from sustainable ingredients that work just as well as conventional options. Already partnered with Surfing England, this startup is making waves in sustainability!

2. HaloCheck
   Jo Kitchen introduced HaloCheck, a platform connecting patients with trusted healthcare providers. By vetting professionals and integrating with online booking systems, Halo Check ensures safe and reliable healthcare access—perfect for navigating long NHS waiting lists or finding specialized care.

3. Computer Says Kernow
   Chris brought humor and heart to his pitch with his productivity-focused tech training service. Aimed at founders and professionals struggling with digital tools, Chris offers personalized coaching to help people master technology and boost efficiency.

4. Mappix
   Charity presented Mappix, a live class mark sheet designed to reduce teacher workload and stress. This innovative tool allows teachers to track student progress in real-time, generate reports effortlessly, and focus on what they do best—teaching!

5. Interface Insight
   James captivated the audience with his solution for managing complex projects in offshore wind energy. Interface Insights is a dynamic tool that maps interdependencies within massive projects, helping organizations avoid costly mistakes and delays.

And the People’s Choice Award Goes To... 🏆

After an evening of stellar pitches, the audience voted for their favorite startup of the night. The winner of the People’s Choice Award is... a joint award to both Radical Wax and Mappix! Both Kate and Charity clearly struck a chord with the crowd. Congratulations to you both.
