The Business Lifecycle providing pathways for employment and business development
In 2015, we completed the lifecycle by launching the
Hoxton Mix Collective
(now 1UP).
As the community interacted within each other many projects were executed across various teams and startups. Innovation and expertise were freely available and usually only a desk away. 1UP started talking to large corporates and helping them to innovate by introducing them to relevant members of the Hoxton Mix community. 1UP has now evolved into an event-based innovation company and regularly executes large hackathons for clients such as Nivea, William Grant and Sons, Unilever
and Durex.

Our events create opportunities by bringing together Big business
and local knowledge
Our events through 1UP give these startups the opportunity to pitch their products and services directly to these larger companies at demo days and hackathons.
All of these events are free to join and some clients even pay for the services of startups at the events. They are all designed to launch new projects and connect our clients with startups.
We enjoy great relationships with the following organisations.
The events and opportunities provided by 1UP for startups are some of the best within tech city.
We have executed over 150 projects in the 4 years we have been running. We enjoy good relationships with the following organisations;
UKTI (particularly when we take some of our community to SXSW each year)
London and Partners (we have hosted many events with L&P and attend their events)
We hosted a round table on big data with Lord Sassoon
We have run many events and usually receive 5 star ratings. You can see a list of previous events on our meetup page.
