Murad Huseynov pitches to the Dragons Den

Murad Huseynov (08-13) has taken his entrepreneurial journey to the next level with an appearance on the current season on Dragons den which has seen him walk away with an investment offer from dragon Steven Bartlett. Of his appearance on the show he says

"The cameras might as well be hidden because they’re out of sight. You feel completely immersed in that room. There’s no retakes. You get a good grilling."

" I did want to get in front of the Dragons and show them the thing that I have poured so much love and hard work into and try and get a deal."

Murad launched Mosaic Journal after becoming disillusioned with mainstream social platforms to create a digital and physical space designed to preserve memories in a tangible form. Through its secure iPhone and Android app, users upload a single photograph each day and can privately tag friends who appear in those moments. Each month, the images are printed and securely shipped to customers to be stored in their yearly Mosaic Journal, a linen-bound coffee-table book that arrives empty when they first sign up.

Murad remains the only full-time employee in the company, although he does use a team of freelancers. He’s currently looking to recruit three people and received 2,000 applicants for a job advert for a role as head of storytelling!

You can watch Murad on iPlayer, he appears in episode one of the new season of Dragons Den, about 14 minutes in.

We look forward to following Murad's journey.
