Hey everyone, We’re excited to announce the UK Startup Explorer, built in collaboration with Microsoft for Startups. This project came about when we were trying to think of ways to highlight the UK’s smaller ecosystems, and what makes them special — size isn’t everything, right? Click around on the map to zoom in on different regions, and learn about regional investment over time per tech sector, sustainability and quality of life in each major city, average regional salary data, local events, and more. Leave a comment, we’d love to hear what you think. Thanks!

Grats for the launch Francesco, love the UI on this. I'm not from the UK but i prospects for new startups constantly, gonna give this a shot. Curious, would you be interested in having a video made for your product? I have a few ideas I'd like to share.

Great design! Is there a way to see the list of startups for each location?
