Media firm secures place with incubator

PINGGO, the media management platform, has secured a place on a tech incubator backed by leading Scottish business figures such as Sir Tom Hunter and Brewdog co-founder James Watt.

The Edinburgh-based firm has received investment of £30,000 from Seed Haus in addition to a six-month residency with the business accelerator. It will use the funding to develop its search engine, grow its international customer base and recruit four new members or staff, while tapping into the expertise of the See Haus partners.

Founder and chief executive Sarah A Lee said: “This opportunity puts us in a powerful position where we will flourish.”
