Spoonfed and The Courvoisier Future 500 in Observer Magazine

Big news at Spoonfed HQ this week! Henry and I were picked as one of the five winners of  The Observer’s Courvoisier Future 500. The Future 500 is a business network for the UK’s brightest entrepreneurs providing inspiration to businesses across the world.

As part of our inclusion in the CVTF500 we were invited to the Courvoisier Chateau in Jarnac to discuss Spoonfed and our future plans. Joining us on the trip and also in the top 5 are Freddie from Secret Garden Party, Lily Jones of Lily Vanilli cupcakes and founder of Enternships Rajeeb Dey.

I’m in the US until tomorrow so haven’t seen a copy of the article yet, but a friend of mine was kind enough to send me through a scan of the front page.

The full article is now available to read online. There are lots of great companies joining the network this year and we’re really proud to be a part of it.

Spoonfed in the News

Earlier this week Henry and I had a good chat with Alex Bellinger from Small Biz pod. This regular podcast gives advice to small business, and our interview also focused on how Spoonfed all began and covered our plans for the future.

UPDATE: Our interview with Alex Bellinger is now online, listen to it here on Small Biz Pod.

Spoonfed has also been getting some great press for our iPhone app recently and today has been a good reminder of all the nice things people have been writing about the company recently.

Here’s a few quick links to some of our excellent recent press:

Reuters @ Spoonfed HQ

Today was a special day at Spoonfed towers as we were paid a visit by Matt Cowan, Reuters Technology Correspondant otherwise know as @londonjourno. It was a great chance to talk about our iPhone Event Radar Application and also talk in more general terms about our exciting plans for the second half of 2009. Personally it was an interesting experience to be filmed and interviewed at the same time, especially in front of the whole team. Check out the video below to see how it went.

Spoonfed in the FT

Exciting times at Spoonfed at the moment as we were featured in an article in the Entrepeneur section of the Financial Times by Jonathan Moules.

“Alexander Will and Henry Erskine Crum managed to persuade their mentor to become the chairman of their fledgling events listing website, Spoonfed. The pair were still completing their studies at the London School of Economics when they were introduced by a friend to Kevin Eyres, European managing director of LinkedIn, the global social networking website.”
