You managed to miss Bradford-on-Avon’s renowned Netcraft, home of the legendary web server survey, and now doing security, availability, etc surveys and services -although it’s now moved to Bath, so a little further from the river and the canal than the old offices in b-o-a.

Thanks Matt for the link to Underscore, and to Matt x 3 for the additional start-up links.

I dropped Ryan a note but there wasn’t enough time to get any of their stuff included as a start-up.

So what other Bristol / West of England start-ups did I miss?

There is quite a tradition of a combination of education and the web in and around Bristol as well with the work of Futurelab and JISC in the region.

Plus start-ups like http://beanbaglearning.com (where I am based) and http://www.science.tv plus many more I’m sure.

Also don’t forget the folks just down the road in Bath – particularly the crew at Carsonified who bring alot of attention to this corner of the world.

Hi John,

Great blog.

I think that also great support is provided by the Set Squared network – http://www.Setsquared.co.uk and Research, Enterprise and development (RED) at Bristol University is outstanding for a number of start ups such as Overlay Media who develop location based marketing software for mobile phones.

There are a plethora of support options with South West screen, SWAIN, YFM Group, Bioapproaches.co.uk and Eden Ventures all backing high tech firms.

+1 on mentioning Underscore – it’s really thriving, and has gone beyond its mailing list roots to encompass a planet web aggregator of some members’ blogs etc. on http://www.under-score.org.uk

Oh, and Avon doesn’t exist any more (well, unless you mean the River). It would be nice if the term fell out of use…

It’s worth mentioning the Underscore mailing list which plays an important role in the area: http://www.under-score.org.uk/
I could also mention our Bristol-based startup: http://www.clevr.com/
