Mytender.io Selected for SETsquared’s Prestigious Investment Futures Showcase.
Foundership alumni company Mytender.io, has been chosen to pitch at the highly regarded SETsquared Investment Futures event in London this November. One of UK’s premier investment showcases for tech, science, and innovation-led startups, the event has helped raise over £160 million for emerging ventures.
MyTender.io, founded by University of Southampton students Jamie Horsnell and Samuel Aaron, uses AI-driven technology to reduce tender response times to transform outdated tendering processes in the construction and facilities management industries. Sam and Jamie initially gained momentum after winning equity-free prize funding from the UoS Student Enterprise Fund BUILD and GROW Pathways in Autumn 23 and Spring 24, later being selected to join the Student Enterprise Foundership 24 cohort over the summer, where they received further funding, office space in the University’s Student Enterprise Junction, expert workshops and dedicated mentorship over a 12-week period.
SETsquared is a unique enterprise partnership and a dynamic collaboration between the six leading research-led UK universities of Bath, Bristol, Cardiff, Exeter, Southampton, and Surrey. As a world-leading business incubator, they provide a wide range of highly acclaimed support programmes to help turn ideas into thriving businesses.
The SETsquared Investment Futures event, on 19 November at Codenode, London, is a must-attend showcase for investors in tech, science, and innovation-led ventures. Alongside quick-fire pitches, the event features roundtable discussions and panels on pressing investment topics, from the future of Net Zero technology to the risks and rewards of disruptive innovations. Aimed at shaping the 2025 investment landscape, Investment Futures combines high-quality deal flow with in-depth analysis of market trends.
As a University of Southampton student-founded startup, Mytender.io is poised to leverage this opportunity to expand its reach, attract crucial investment, and drive growth.
