The Tiger’s Pen let 7 Tiger cubs loose at the Sussex Business Show, Brighton Dome.
These cubs have been on their business journey for a short amount of time, but they’re aspiring start-up entrepreneurs who had to present and pitch their business ideas to experienced investors based in Sussex.
The event this year was sponsored by Cripps.

Oanh Brophy – Return Ware
Shivankit Kumar – AI Agents
Jemma Pateman – teddysquare

Each startup had 30 minutes to share their innovation to the panel of investors. Needing to inspire, excite and show their potential, alongside pitching for up to £10,000 capital, to gain invaluable business mentoring and have a chance of wining The Wildcard Prize of ‘Best Pitch of the Day’.

A Roaring Success.
All 7 investors were impressed with the startup pitchers, their passion for their products/services and desire to grow in their business.
BEST PITCH OF THE DAY winner was Oanh Brophy who stood out for the investors with her clarity of message, engagement from the outset and her product maturity. Congratulations to Oanh on her win.
Well done to all the pitchers for shining bright and roaring loud on the day! You did yourselves proud.
Thank you to the investors for their time, commitment and invaluable advice shared. Also for being so well behaved and staying in their seats for so long. Not easy keeping a group of business owners in one place for so many hours!
We look forward to seeing the evolution of all these start ups in the coming months.
