Winner of the 'I Want TechHub' video competition
By Elizabeth VarleyIf you missed it, we asked people to tell us, on video in 60 seconds why they want TechHub to be in with a chance to win free membership of TechHub London for a year.
Loads responded and the answers were funny, smart, quirky or considered, but above all edifying. You made it clear that you really want TechHub! Thank you to everyone who took part, we have a special offer for you below.
We had a great time watching all the videos but a really difficult time choosing a winner. So we've chosen six. Couldn't help ourselves (and we'd love to choose more!).
So... (drumroll please)...the winners are...
Chris Steiner of Siondo @ChrisSteiner

Max Niederhofer of qwer.ly @maxniederhofer
For all the accents and 'where's my jetpack?'

Chris Steiner:
By Elizabeth VarleyChris Steiner from Siondo likes TechHub for the opportunities it presents to connect entrepreneurs, investors and the media, also because TechHub Rocks!
Apparently his driver thinks TechHub rocks as well, and they're in India. It's possible that the driver is acting I suppose, but we'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

TechHub update - exciting stuff!
By Elizabeth VarleyWell, we're eating, breathing and sleeping TechHub at the moment, getting things ready to open our doors as soon as possible.
We've been chatting to government again, at the UKTI and we have a meeting with Lord Davies coming up, and we're talking to companies that want to come on board as founding partner sponsors.
Some exciting companies are interested in getting involved, and we're still open to new approaches. Whether you want to engage with the start-up community, you offer products or services just perfect for small and growing tech companies, or you're a large corporate that wants to tap into the innovation culture, get in touch to have a chat.
We're hoping to see TechHub London opening in late March, so keep an eye out here and@TechHub for publication of our desk and membership rates, and the launch of our founder memberships. Thanks to everyone who's emailed, eager to snap up one of the limited memberships - there'll be news very soon!
As so many of you have submitted fabulous videos telling us why you want TechHub, I leave you with this video featuring my less-than-glamorous early-morning visage as I work from bed at far too early on a weekend morning...
