Andy McLoughlin and Alastair Mitchell’s online collaboration tool Huddle was dubbed the next Google by BusinessWeek magazine. Backed for $5m by investors including Eden Ventures, Huddle allows users to work together online, share files, manage projects and organise virtual meetings in a secure and hosted environment. Propelled by a number of key partnerships, including one with business network LinkedIn and another with video conferencing giant InterCall, this year’s turnover is projected at £4m, up from £1.5m in 2008. McLoughlin and Mitchell are now taking their business global, setting their sights initially on the US market, where expansion is currently underway. The founders also run networking event Drink Tank, where members of the London tech scene meet to share ideas over a pint.
