Executive Partners

Stay Connected

Stay Connected is a small consulting firm that applies marketing technology and customer research techniques to help business get market traction more effectively. It is also the umbrella company for Salim’s new ventures, and as such uses and develops Lean Startup techniques internally. Stay Connected is advising the speakers on connections between the various topics that are converging at Leancamp.

The People Speak

The People Speak create projects that give people an excuse to enjoy speaking to each other. The formats look familiar at first: a chat show , a game show or even a soccer kick-about, but once people are involved, there’s no limit to where they can take each other. No instruction manual is required, and we like to have as much fun and get just as involved as everyone else.

Uservoice

Uservoice provides an online platform for transparently discovering and prioritising the needs of customers. They have generously donated their platform for our use at Leancamp.

Nexus Global Net

Nexus Global Net came on board to provide the wireless network at late notice. They did a great job of putting the network together, and overseeing it. There were a few problems caused by the ISP outside of their control, but they were on top of it and managed things very quickly.

Media Partners

Flint Public Relations

Flint Public Relations is an Arts and Culture, Entertainment and Lifestyle PR agency focusing on profile-raising, brand management and revenue generation. Flint creates comprehensive print, broadcast and online publicity campaigns designed to gain maximum media coverage and stimulate sales.

Dorm Room Tycoon Podcast

Dorm Room Tycoon is a great new podcast that interviews business leaders in order to share their knowledge and techniques with students. You may have met William and Dan at Leancamp - they were helping interview everyone so that our conversations can grow and continue.
