SalesGossip, a UK-based online service that alerts bargain hunters immediately when a new sale is announced, has won the top prize at what claimed to be the world’s largest student business competition.
The RBS EnterprisingU competition picked SalesGossip for the £25,000 ($40,000) top prize and the company also received venture capital backing from Find Invest Grow (FIG).
FIG, an incubator and investment firm that focuses on the student and recent graduate market, had worked with Royal Bank of Scotland Group (RBS) and business network LinkedIn to run the competition, which had more than 1,317 entrants, as well as an accreditation scheme to boost entrepreneurship in student societies.
Elisabetta Camilleri, co-founder of SalesGossip (pictured, centred, with the prize), said: "We are thrilled with the endorsement of our hard work to date and the prize will help us make the online and mobile service even better."
