Leeds tech entrepreneur set to enter Dragons’ Den to showcase digital quiz platform

A Leeds-based technology entrepreneur is set to appear on Dragons’ Den on 24th September 2017.

Mark Walsh, the founder and managing director of pub quiz technology KwizzBit, will pitch to the panel of infamous ‘Dragons’ in the den on BBC Two at 9pm on Sunday evening.

Mark, who launched the web-based platform in 2016, has implemented the technology in more than 250 pubs across the UK and has plans to reach one million KwizzBit players by 2020.

In this episode of Dragons’ Den, viewers will hear about Mark’s entrepreneurial journey; including the inspiration he received from his father and the motivation he now has as a father himself, to take his business to the next level.

Mark will explain how his twenty years’ experience in sales and marketing and his previous business successes have led him to create KwizzBit.

As the inventor and creator of KwizzBit, Mark came up with the idea after recognising that the traditional pub quiz could be used as a profitable tool to attract and retain custom, but that it was littered with problems of cheating and repetitive results.

KwizzBit is played in a real-time format and combines the conventional elements of a quiz with interactive digital entertainment. Allowing users to host and engage in multiplayer quizzes via a smartphone, players compete for the fastest correct answer and receive feedback of the leaders to their device.

KwizzBit provides a Google-proof alternative to the traditional pub quiz as it does not give users the opportunity to search online for answers.

Mark now has plans for the software to cater to the learning and development market, along with a promotional offering, having recently secured a contract to supply the platform to a firm which will roll KwizzBit out to staff training workshops nationwide.
