BetaDen alumni wins ‘Tech Entrepreneur’ Award at Women in Tech awards 2022

BetaDen’s Cohort 5.0 founder, Paula Bedborough of Secure Socialising, has won a Tech Entrepreneur Award at this year’s Women In Tech Awards.

Secure Socialising is a project that Paula took to BetaDen, Worcestershire’s first technology accelerator, to elevate her route to market and gain professional support and funding. The project looks at how technology can be used to promote safe socialising and support outstanding customer experiences. They have developed a keyless smart locker system made for spaces where people meet or socialise, and are currently working on a new app for smartphones to make the Secure Socialising experience even more intuitive. Their smart lockers will help to reduce crime and vulnerability and help people to have a stress-free experience.
