Who are they?
TipTap came to us with the idea to build an app for fairer tipping for waiting staff. They wanted to ensure that customer service staff received all of their tips from satisfied customers, without large cuts being taken by management. We initially created a brand identity, then hooked up the front end design with a back end payment system and database of restaurants, users and customers. At the moment tipping can be done within the app, but in future will also be possible using NFC. The newly built app is currently being trialled in a local restaurant.
Rocketmakers have helped turn my TipTap vision into a reality. They’ve brought their technical expertise coupled with great enthusiasm to deliver a fantastic product.

I worked on the Back End for TipTap, designing the logic behind the payment process using Stripe. These payments are being tested as we speak as the App is now on trial at the Watershed in Bristol.

Taking an entrepreneur’s initial vision and turning it into a reality is something Rocketmakers excels at. A great example is the Innate Mood app. Innate Food founder Elsa Valentine approached Rocketmakers with an idea for expanding her healthy lifestyle business with a digital tool for supporting mental health. Her concept was an app for recording moods and emotions in video journals, which would provide users with insight into their emotions in future.

At Rocketmakers, we are proud to promote diversity within the start-up companies and entrepreneurs that we work with. Sadly we see firsthand the difficulties that female founders and mixed-founder groups face when attempting to raise investment. In fact, just one in three British entrepreneurs are women and less than 1% of UK venture funding goes to all-female teams.
