Two North East tech companies have been named among the best early-stage scaleups in the UK.
Gateshead's Zoa Rental, which enables retailers and fashion brands to offer rental services and Sunderland's Settld, which provides software to help automate the process of notifying and resolving service provider accounts when someone dies, are among 10 winners of Tech Nation's Rising Stars competition.
The firms were selected by a panel of seven judges including Emma Jones, founder of Enterprise Nation; Nahu Ghrebremichael, partner at Singular Ventures and Jess Jackson, head of Investment at GC Angels.
