"I was absolutely blown away by being awarded the overall winner at the East of England StartUp Awards 2023. It came as a complete shock when you read out our name!
These achievements really do help to validate all the hard work, long hours, stress and tears. Had we not won, the event created by your team still would have been a fantastic experience for myself and the team."

"Winning the Wales StartUp of the Year was an incredibly emotional moment. Since launching Drop Bear, we've experienced incredible growth and whilst that's of course the goal, it's also been very challenging at times. Drop Bear is our first business and we've had to grapple with a global pandemic and economic crisis...talk about jumping in the deep end! We've fought through it all and come out stronger than ever, standing up on that stage with the Welsh Business scene in front of us, it felt like we had Wales' support to tackle whatever lies ahead!"
