About Us

The Hyphae Mission:

Bring independent businesses into the digital marketing revolution

 

Who are we?

Hyphae was started by four students from UCL who shared a passion for technology, entrepreneurship and independent businesses. We couldn’t work out why our beloved local shops, cafés, and restaurants were struggling to compete with major chains when their product was so much better.

Our research found that many of these businesses were failing to attract customers because they could not capitalise on the benefits of digital marketing;

For a small business using traditional social media marketing channels, tight budgets force a compromise between reach and targeting

 

With Hyphae, there are no more compromises!

A good deal all around!

And it’s not just good for the businesses, the micro-influencers get a pretty sweet deal too! As students ourselves, we understand how hard it can be to find any time to earn some extra money. However, with Hyphae, anyone will be soon be able to monetize their social media profiles and support their local businesses at the same time by becoming an influencer!

The future

This is just the start, and we cannot wait to share the rest of our plans with the world.
There are a lot of exciting things to come in the near future and we are working tirelessly to make them a reality.
We are very grateful that you are here with us now at our inception, and hope that you will be along with us for the rest of the journey!
