Adil Mohammed

He currently lives in London, runs a web development company Innozon and is also a director of the online travel utility EnTrip which he co-founded in 2008. His background includes a Master in Computers and Information Systems certification and working in the telecom industry.

He truly believes that Launch48 can help and assist existing and upcoming entrepreneurs in learning new skills and meeting like-minded people. He loves the concept of rapid application development (RAD) and of starting something material and interesting over a weekend.

Ian Broom

Background:

Ian Broom has been creating web sites since he was in high school in the 1990’s. Since then he has completed a Bachelor of Information Systems, worked for a project management consulting company, assisted a number of charity organisations with their web sites and internal IT.  He moved from Melbourne, Australia to London in 2007.

He currently works for a digital agency managing technical web projects with some of the largest brands in the UK, runs a small web site development business call Weboo, and is currently building 3 web apps for release in 2009.

Motivation for organising Launch48:

Having wondered what makes a successful web app, Ian helped organise Startup Weekend in 2007. The result was a very enjoyable, energy-fuelled weekend which saw a group of people create a fantastic web app and some great relationships were formed.

To experience the same fun and excitement, Ian wanted to create an event that offered the same opportunities to a new group of people, and experience the intensity and comradery that entrepreneurs and human spirit produces when focusing on a joint goal.
