Fintech Start-up of the Year 2021!

Updated: Oct 26, 2021

Ship Shape is proud to announce that we have been recognised as Fintech Start-up of the Year 2021!

This award is a testament to all the hard work we have put in throughout the last year and that would not be possible without Our Team.

Our CEO Daniel Sawko, accepting the award

Fintech Start-up of the Year 2021 Award in the flesh

In that time we have Ship Shape from a ‘no-code’ solution to an independent search engine that already has paying customers (with some very exciting names about to be) continues to

grow and most importantly, is already having positive impacts on the VC investment landscape.

The award also reflects that despite being remote and with a number of the team yet to meet, you can still achieve great things.

For any business leaders - a transformative book on the importance of devolving control for us was ‘Turn the Ship Around’. Devolving control and responsibility truly empowers individuals within teams to seize the initiative.

Ship Shape would like to thank our customers, investors, advisors and key stakeholders as your input, advice, guidance and feedback has been invaluable.

You’ve allowed Ship Shape to grow and learn which has ultimately led us to where we are today. We look forward to continuing these relationships far into the future.

Our Team the morning after

Further and deepest thanks are in order! Fintech Wales, the Fintech Wales Foundry Accelerator, Cardiff Capital Region, the Wales start-up community and our numerous University partners have been instrumental in providing support and daring us to take on ever greater challenges as we deliver on being the search engine for Venture Capital.

Ship Shape are currently raising an EIS round. If would like to help us reach new heights, please contact either Daniel Sawko or Alistair Baillie below:
