Claire Georgeson - founder of PsyFyi
The Captain’s Table has proven itself to be one of the (very) few independent, unbiased industry powerhouses for any start up to enter. The shipping industry is often seen as sluggish and slow to adopt – and that is probably personified by an inability for start-up’s both focused in maritime and outside of maritime to have a trusted platform to showcase their solutions. The Captain’s Table allows just that – a safe, professional space for start ups of all shapes and sizes to present their solutions to a packed room of industry experts without feeling like there’s a risk of being misunderstood.I would highly recommend any start up (irrespective of your financial journey; bootstrapped, VC funded etc) to apply.
