A Winning Week for MarketOrders – Winning £100k investment + Rising Star Award

It’s been a winning week for MarketOrders who this week won first prize at the Blockchain Accelerator held in London on 6-8th July.  

Sukhi Jutla, MarketOrders co-founder and COO pitched to a panel of judges and investors and won the winning pitch from 20 other companies competing for the top prize.

This win is a further testament to the work we are doing at MarketOrders as well as the realisation that the gold industry is ripe for disruption. And this is exactly what the investors see – they see incredible growth opportunities with MarketOrders.

This win also signifies MarketOrders entry into the blockchain space where this technology will be used to create trusted transactions across the gold jewellery industry where currently only 4% of gold jewellery transactions occur online due to a lack of trust in the marketplace. MarketOrders is on a mission to change this and to bring greater transparency across the gold industry

Sukhi’s excellent pitching skills also secured MarketOrders sponsored WeWork office space a well as private mentoring from top entrepreneurs worth £20,000.

Well done Sukhi for leading the way and being an excellent role model for other female founders and entrepreneurs!

Winning the Rising Stars Award

This week, Sukhi also collected her Rising Star awards from We Are The City (WATC). 

The WATC awards received over 1250 nominations and we are really proud to announce that our co-founder and COO walked away with the winning entry for the Entrepreneurs & Startup category. 

Well done Sukhi for being a shining example and a leading role model for tech female founders. We are super proud of you!

In addition, MarketOrders and Sukhi were featured in the prestigious “The Sunday Times”.

Wow, what a winning week it has been for MarketOrders!
