BBC broadcasts “Start Up Stories” film on Trampoline

By Charles Armstrong | Monday, June 28th, 2010

Today the BBC broadcast a seven-minute film on Trampoline as part of their Start Up Stories strand. The film covers Trampoline’s beginnings, our first experiences hiring and raising finance, and what advice we’d give to entrepreneurs thinking of starting their own company.

To my delight the BBC even managed to find some footage of the island of St Agnes which they included in the film! A total of ten businesses were selected for Start Up Stories including such luminaries as Autonomy, Slide and Zappos so Trampoline is in great company.

The film concludes with my advice to aspiring entrepreneurs:

“Don’t put things off by going to study for an MBA. Just dive in and start your business. You’ll soon discover if it’s what you really want to do.”

You can view the whole film on the BBC website.
