Is venture building the saner way to create a startup? Rather than endless pivots, there is more time spent qualifying the idea before the management team even comes in.

#London-based @AskShepper have created the human equivalent of Google. Businesses can use Shepper’s B2B inspection service to send a real person to a physical location to inspect the area and perform checks, whilst lowering costs and delivery time.

@TechMarketView @AskShepper Hi Anthony, thanks for the article! No snooping here though. We’re actually checking the condition of assets owned and/or operated by our clients. A small part of what we do are in-store checks, but even then the retailer is aware in advance.

@george_goodall @dstahl @UKTNofficial @AskShepper Hi George, believe it was a typo and they meant “big brands”
