Sussex Business Show | The Tiger's Pen
This year for the first time ever, we have commissioned a group of students who offer VR animations to help enhance The Tigers Pen.
We love what they've done for us and it's been quite an amazing.
It was a 5 month build as one of the lead students Bowen Tan is studying at the University of Sussex for his PhD whilst getting his VR Company established and off the ground, so we're over the moon with what he and his team have designed for us as a brand, and we'll help him grow'l. 🐯
The Tiger's Pen is a Startup Investment service, enabling businesses under 3 years of age to pitch live infront of investors for up to £10,000 capital, gain invaluable mentoring and access the wild card prize of 'best pitch of the day.'

The story of the video is set with a startup trying to find the library but running into a dead end and running out of time to get to the venue to do their pitch idea off the ground. The person slumps in a corner, and then a Tiger feels the person's pain and investigates.
The Tigers then lead the startup through the lanes and into the Jubilee Library for the opportunity to pitch for investment. Waiting at the door of the library with his mug of tea was Sonny, as the startup entered the pitching space are our investors of 2023.
The person was then able to pitch and the doors closed for the pitch to begin.
