Birdsong
An online brand for women who expect more from their wardrobe. Birdsong finds the best female makers and bring them to you, no sweatshops, no photoshop. Started in August 2014 by a trio of feminist founders, they source fairly made fashion, from chitenge-printed bomber jackets to quirky bone jewellery. Each purchase gives back to the women who made it, from workshops in Malawi to seamstresses on Brick Lane. We don’t think our bodies need changing. Birdsong wants to clothe your body, beautiful as it is.

Bubblo
Bubblo offers a simple, visual way of locating bars, clubs and restaurants to gauge how busy they are, the deals offered, and friends who are either there or who want to go there! Bubblo’s in-app bubbles get bigger or smaller based on how trending a place by drawing information from Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, and from the venues themselves. Thus users are able to check out exclusive deals from bar, clubs, and restaurants and can even use every bubble’s open chat window to speak with current patrons to help decide whether to go there or not! Bubblo users are also able to see the status of friends and places from their networks and can connect with them to chat, vote, and plan out their nights immediately after downloading the app.
In this way, Bubblo provides a visual and dynamic presentation of vast amounts of venue and social network data, without overwhelming users.

Chainy
Chainy connects creative people and notifies them about relevant opportunities.
We are truly inspired by the success stories of famous people in the creative world. For most of them it was a long and difficult journey to become successful and what made a difference was meeting the right people.
Currently, creative people still use inefficient methods to look for each other: sticking posters on university walls, calling and messaging friends, and searching on websites that are not designed for this purpose. But we are here to change this!
Our goal is to help talented people to succeed, and we believe that success requires the help of others. Chainy makes it easy for creative people from various industries to connect and get exposure to endless opportunities around the world.

GivTree is a socialized, gamified charity donation platform. We believe that technology and the internet has fundamentally changed the way we interact. It's time to apply this to charity, so we can nurture a culture of giving in society. GivTree works by donating just £1 to your chosen charity and nominating two others to do the same, on a visual, online platform. This GivTree grows exponentially with each nomination, with the money then being donated to a specific charity goal. Please see givtree.com for more information.

MengYa
Founded by anthropologists and international travellers from the London School of Economics (LSE), MengYa is an innovative educational tour provider specialising in culture, adventure, art and volunteering trips to China.
We want to bridge the gap between the classroom and the world we study. By combining seminars and discussion groups and fun tourist activities, we encourage cultural immersion in China, using education as a tool for a deeper understanding of the intricacies of daily life.
From tea plantations to inspiring skyscrapers, from local rice wine to cocktails and jazz, from traditional housing to five star hotels, and from natural fieldwork observation to panel discussions, we aim to give educational journey diversity and context.

Pollinate Energy
Pollinate Energy is a social business with a simple mission – to improve the lives of India’s urban poor by connecting urban slum communities with technology (products). With a focus on affordable sustainable solutions, such as solar lights and improved cookstoves, Pollinate Energy is creating opportunities for development and improving quality of life. With our products people are able to reduce indoor smoke, enjoy better light quality, cease fossil fuel consumption and save money.
We find local people who are passionate about helping slum communities in their area, and train them to develop community links and sell these affordable products to those who need them most. We provide all the support to sustain these micro-social businesses which alleviate the financial, environmental and health costs of kerosene – an expensive, harmful and unsustainable energy source. As we expand our offering of development enabling products our ability to assist communities grows and the sustainability of the business is assured.
By bringing international students together with local Indian representatives, Pollinate Energy also inspires the next generation of global leaders in sustainability and social enterprise. This also ensures that Pollinate Energy remains relevant and agile as the program participants implement new and innovative ideas during their time on the ground in India.
