Cornwall start-up raises £1m to develop audio and e-book app

A Cornwall tech start-up has raised £1m to support the development of its digital book platform and create jobs.

Based in the village of Latchley, near Gunnislake, Xigxag has developed an audio and e-book app that it says offers the first-ever fully integrated listening and reading experience, which it calls ‘The X-book’.

Recently named as one of the most innovative early-stage tech companies in the country by industry experts Tech Nation, the business has built a catalogue of more than 40,000 titles from 15 publishers, including Penguin Random House and Pan Macmillan.
