You didn't need to be to enter anyway technically :) Hopefully bump into some of you over there anyway. Manoj,

We’re not a startup in terms of length of time we’ve been running, but in other ways we are. You didn’t need to be to enter anyway technically :)

Hopefully bump into some of you over there anyway.

After I saw the *requirements* to qualify for the amazing Web Mission 08 program I decided not to apply. Things like "Have 2 years trading history, or failing that, compelling early-stage fast-track potential" + "Can provide references from key sponsors/industry players" + "Can Demonstrate some commitment to sustainable business practices (eg, positive environmental or social outputs)" seemed quite hard to sustain (and quite vague too). But some of the selected companies make me think I'm an idiot and should have applied too. Great chance lost... Another lesson learned. Good luck to the participants though.
