Riddle is the first viral content marketplace - think Getty Images for viral quizzes, lists and polls. Interactive content is powerful for engaging and growing audiences but requires time and expertise to create. With Riddle's marketplace, publishers and brands can quickly grab high quality interactive content for their audience, written by hand-selected viral experts. Content is either free to embed 'as is' - with a makeover to match the look and feel of their site, but with no editing the text, images and author attribution. Or, they can buy a license from the creator (they set the price - starting at $5) - and change anything and everything about it, to make this version uniquely theirs. Publishers get viral content - creators get rewarded. Simple and scalable, with built in lead generation to collect user email addresses and responses for marketing campaigns. Read more

Our mission is to become the world’s leading gay accommodation provider. Gay Homestays provides authentic gay travel experiences by connecting LGBT travellers with LGBT hosts, who have a spare room or apartment to rent. The mainstream market leader in the collaborative travel sector is Airbnb, which has disrupted the hotel industry and is now valued at $10 Billion. We take the view is that equivalent penetration can be achieved within the niche gay travel market. It is well documented that gay people have more disposable income and travel more than their straight counterparts. Consequently, the gay travel industry is a large and lucrative market, estimated to be worth around $56 Billion in the US, $50 Billion in Europe and $25 Billion in Brazil. From modest investment we've recorded significant revenue growth and now we're looking for investment to help take the company to the next level and to capture the full potential of the highly lucrative LGBT travel market. Read more
