Here are some of our alumni.

Bloomsbury AI

Raised £1.4m while in bloom.space and sold to Facebook for around $30m

Co-founded by UCL Machine Learning specialist Guillaume Bouchard, Bloomsbury AI had a mission to make it easier for people to talk to their computers using natural language. They created a system which reads your website and documents, learning about the topics contained in them, then you’re able to ask it questions. They were one of BLOOM.SPACE’s first members, joining because of the proximity to the UCL talent pool, the location (in Bloomsbury!) and our flexible approach - their team expanded and contracted frequently during their journey as they acquired different skills sets.

Bloomsbury AI spent a year with us and we were pleased to provide them with space, support and help with recruiting new team members form the tech startup world. They joined straight after finishing the Entrepreneur First programme, having formed their team and were looking for an inexpensive, flexible and supporting co-working environment.

Guillaume’s father owns a vineyard and his wine was always an integral part of our meet-ups!
