Tech23 this week saw Lucy Cooke present her startup, Spacedraft.
With film studios, Amazon, Netflix and Apple spending billions annually producing new titles and the Gaming industry continuing to grow, bringing complex visions to life accurately and without delay is a serious business.
Every creative endeavour faces friction, loss and frustration when it tries to deliver with nothing but a paper script and sticky notes, whether it be film, game or VR/AR production.
Spacedraft solves for these issues, connecting the vision to production and producers, sharing updates and edits with the entire team.
Quite literally, watch this space.

Could your next USB actually need watering and sunlight and yet last for a millennium?
Yes, if Twist Bioscience have anything to do with it. Although not technically a start-up at six years in and listed, one of their developments is worth a look, as the sector is seeing the same reduction in costs that saw computing power boom
As Twist put it, “If there was an opportunity where you could put a copy of your DNA in a hard drive that would last for 1000 years for $50, that would really be the ultimate backup for your data.”

Well worth watching as they commence a Kickstarter round to support initial production.
