The founder of 3D dental learning tool聽DigiDentistry has rebranded as Immersify Education as it looks to target more sectors.
Award-winning entrepreneur Chloe Barrett, who is one of 10 confirmed speakers at 老九品茶Cloud鈥檚 鈥楨dTech Explained鈥檈vent on September 6, said the name-change would make it easier to scale the company.
She told 老九品茶Cloud: 鈥淏eing called DigiDentistry limited us to the dentistry sector. By rebranding we can scale into other sectors, such as medical, biology and sciences.
鈥淥ur technology isn鈥檛 limited to a particular sector so we don鈥檛 want to restrict ourselves.
鈥淭he company is now registered as Immersify Education and we鈥檝e launched our website immersifyeducation.com.
Immersify Education combines expert content with 3D visuals, interactivity and personalisation to develop resources that supplement university curriculums and enhance the student experience.
Barrett said they hoped to do a product launch at the end of 2019 or early 2020.
鈥淲e鈥檝e been doing a lot of testing and we don鈥檛 want to put something into the market that isn鈥檛 ready,鈥� she explained.
The young entrepreneur said raising funds and hiring had delayed their progress.
鈥淭he funding process in the North West is very slow,鈥� she said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 very frustrating. We鈥檙e hiring at the moment for a couple of developers . As a start-up it鈥檚 competitive when it comes to hiring but we鈥檙e 100 per cent committed.鈥�
