Astute Graphics reaches the finals of Pitchfest (West Midlands) 2016!
Nicholas van der Walle
Assisting the next generation of leaders to achieve our collective goals
In our 10th year of creating vector design tools for designers the world-over, including big name brands (Facebook, Disney, Samsung being a very small sample), it's exciting times for Astute Graphics.
For the first time, we are in the process of seeking outside investment to accelerate ambitious plans for future products. That element is a little more hush-hush at present - keep your eyes peeled in the next 12 months, folks! - but the initial investment of over £500k will go towards expanding our amazing team, from additional engineers to new management resources.
This has all come about through this year's UK government initiative "Pitchfest". We are really pleased to announce that we have been chosen to take part in the finals held at the NEC on 23 June 2016. As part of the overall Venturefest exhibition (click here for details), we will be presenting along with 11 other finalists whittled down from the original 80 presentations.
For 10 years, Astute Graphics have heavily re-invested in the future to result in 14 amazing products. Each year has seen revenues increase consistently by up to 160% without any outside investment or debt. A lot of this is down to the team (now counting 14) for which I personally want to thank for their energy, initiative and hard work!
