Thanks to all the companies that came along there was quite a bit of Brit-based flag waving (sometimes the right way up).

Although we did the logistical heavy-lifting, it wouldn’t have been possible with the help of Stewart at Sun, Barry & Danvers at Winston and the good folks at UKTI.

Next up, SWSX interactive. We’re planning to kick off the application process in mid-Oct with longer deadlines, this time.

Shhh… It’s meant to be a silent alarm, don’t you know? Good idea using the TechCrunch logo as a benchmark though

I wonder if an equivalent US mission to the UK would get the American flag upside down?

Apart from an ample demonstration of their ignorance flying the flag upside down is recognized as a distress signal.

Doesn’t inspire confidence, does it…
