Rightangled at WorldLabs Elevating Ideas 2018

WorldLabs connects entrepreneurs and organisations to support innovation internationally, offering a shared space to build partnerships, network, collaborate on projects, crowdsource ideas and raise funds.

Its aim is to help ideas develop by providing the funding, connections and tools they need. More than 500 innovators and entrepreneurs attended the Elevating Ideas conference in 2018, which brought together investors, founders and industry experts for a day of talks, networking, workshops and a live pitch event featuring ten start-ups.

Why events like this matter

Many promising early-stage projects fail through lack of resources, support or funding rather than lack of merit. The Elevating Ideas competition was created to give entrepreneurs a platform to present their work, find collaborators and gather the support needed to progress.

Rightangled took part in the 2018 conference, discussing its DNA testing service with people across the UK start-up ecosystem.
