Summary

[UK] The latest benefactors of Cambridge-based Red Gate’s startup incubator have been unveiled. But before we get to this year’s teams, a quick reminder of how Springboard works.

Over the course of ten weeks, Red Gate provides startups with office space, money to live on, food and mentoring, including weekly talks from successful entrepreneurs. In return, they don’t take equity or seats the your board but instead hope that the program will benefit the tech eco-system in Cambridge in general and help Red Gate forge useful relationships for the future. Anyway, without further ado, here are this year’s Springboard teams.

PagerDuty

PagerDuty is an alarm dispatching service for system administrators and support teams. PagerDuty collects alerts from your business’s existing monitoring tools (Nagios, Monit, Pingdom, etc) and calls or SMSes the engineer on duty if there’s a problem. If the assigned engineer doesn’t answer, PagerDuty will automatically escalate the issue by notifying someone else.
