Anyway, without further ado, here are this year's Springboard teams.
In addition, Springboard has announced that Bosch, Cosm, Living PlanIT and Nokia Growth Partners are also partnering with the program, while Cambridge-based Makespace will be providing the Springboard teams with access to things like 3D printers and laser cutters, and kit for electronics, woodwork and textiles so that they can rapidly prototype their wares.
I knew trampoline because I was on the men's springboard diving team at the time (there was no women's team).
With Springboard each team gets a low £15,000 of investment capital and they take 6% in ordinary founder shares.
Equipped with Mahon's family tree as a springboard, the team went about booking performers who could encapsulate the vast breadth of African American music not just your typical soul, jazz and hip-hop, but also house, rock'n'roll, and the various niche genres that exist within them.
I asked Bradford what a Kickstarter campaign could bring to the Springboard IoT teams and he candidly suggested that going down the crowdfunding route means that more control reverts to the founders as they might ultimately choose not to raise funding from angels or VCs, instead taking advantage of the "presales" model that Kickstarter supports.
What a champ!" Many wrote off Georgia as a serious title contender after the loss to the Gamecocks, but the nightmarish 48 hours proved to be a springboard for the team's turnaround.
Beating Notre Dame, even if it is no longer an annual fixture on Michigan's schedule, would provide a welcome springboard for a team that faded at the end of last season.
The US remains comfortably at the top of the overall medal table, hauling home three more silvers on day five: Josh Prenot in the men's 200m breaststroke; fencer Daryl Homer in the men's individual sabre; and Michael Hixon and Sam Dorman in the men's 3m synchronised springboard diving – the team's best ever result.
