Fresh from a Kickstarter campaign where Beeline raised c$700k (£500k) taking total fundraising to over $1.3m (£1m), Tom, who founded Beeline with good friend and co-founder Mark Jenner in 2015 talks to us about his journey and the trajectory this firm is on. Having had enough of getting lost on their bikes in London, the two former McKinsey employees decided to set up Beeline. Simply put, Beeline offers smart navigation devices for cyclists and bikers. The company helps people have great journeys, by bike and motorbike, through their incredible intuitive navigation hardware, interface and journey planning software. Since founding this startup, Beeline has sold thousands of units around the world, been featured on the BBC and Amazon Originals and has beaten Apple to design awards. Could you guess how much Beeline initially targeted for their Kickstarter? Enjoy the podcast, and listen in to find out.
Tom Putnam is the founder of BeeLine, a company he and his buddy Mark Jenner created to make journeys better. They design and build simple, smart products that make getting around a pleasure. It’s a navigation tool for bicycles that is focused on helping you better experience the world around you. Tom’s love for adventure stems from spending his infancy in Zambia, camping trips in the Welsh hills, hitch-hiking from Buenos Aires to New York and driving Land Rovers through the Congo. Then there was dirt bike riding in the Sahara and the Savannah in Kenya. Tom’s worked in several other industries, was an officer in the British Army and he studied Aerospace Engineering at the University of Bristol.
From the Rehearsals for John John by John Heywood - Bonus Material to accompany the live recording, this is the first read through of the uncut play. As we had to make cuts for the live recording, it seemed only fair to release this read through of the uncut script. Due to the archive nature of the recording, audio quality varies. The readers are Sian Notley, Mark Jenner and Robert Crighton. For more information about this and other plays go to our blog - https://beyondshakespeare.blogspot.com/

"One of the ways we approached this… we always said it is worth it even if it’s a complete flop as we’re making a product that we think is a good one! It doesn’t matter if it fails!" In this episode, we hear from with Mark Jenner, an ardent cyclist who’s created Beeline- a new navigation product for urban cyclists for greener, cleaner living. It helps them find those quiet nugget routes in cities that they otherwise wouldn’t find using Google Maps.
