FFWD 2017 Cohort.

Tern has been fortunate to be one of the few companies accepted onto FFWD London, the UK’s leading pre-accelerator program . As an early stage start-up with a vision to simplify the way user book travel, been on the program has been a quantum leap from idea to product, which will be presenting at a demo day next month.

The FFWD program is organised in 6 weekly sprints with various set tasks to be completed and presented in front of mentors & cohort of start-ups. This has involved us validating our idea, defining our value proposition, go to market strategy and many more. In our first week, we were thrown into the deep end, where we had to conduct user research to understand the problem we are trying to solve.

we interviewed people at Heathrow airport on a weekend to understand their experience of booking a flight

All said, it has been an exciting and fast paced 6 weeks for Tern. Furthermore we have added two new members to our team Cristiano & Qaz. We look forward to presenting Tern next month

Presenting Tern

We’d also love to hear any of your pain points or experiences you’ve faced when booking/planning travel. Feel free to reach out to us directly at info@trytern.com with your thoughts, feedback, and insights!
