Naked brainstorms? Only at Huddle.

Posted on 23. Nov, 2009 by Zuzanna.

How does the Huddle team end up stark naked in a boardroom? Easily. We’d do anything for charity.

The Huddle photograph is one of 24 tasteful pictures of internet entrepreneurs published in the Nude London Tech calendar. Proceeds from the calendar go to Take Heart India, a youth-run charity focused on IT education [...]

Huddle Movember look-a-likes…

Posted on 12. Nov, 2009 by simon.

Remember, remember the month of Movember,
When dodgy tashes truly are hot,
It seems the trend at Huddle HQ,
Has really affected this lot….
11 days into the charity challenge and in many cases there isn’t a lot to report, however even the merest of hint of hair on the upper lip seems to have turned us all into [...]

Do you Huddle?

Posted on 09. Jul, 2009 by Martin.

Obviously we’re big fans of Huddle, and a few of us in the office are sporting Huddle t-shirts and chucking Huddle rugby balls at each other’s heads but we wanted all of you to be able to show your love by wearing your own Huddle schwag, so we have teamed up with Zazzle to create [...]

Making a greener developer

Posted on 17. Jun, 2009 by Rob.

I often wonder, if I eventually have my own start up, what would it be like? Well amidst all the beans bags, laptops, bikes, and working in the sun, one of my big things is being efficient. Not only in a work sense but in a energy/green sense too.
It’s always amazed me at previous companies [...]

Building a “Team of Peers”

Posted on 22. Apr, 2009 by Andy.

I gave a talk at yesterday’s TechCrunch Europe Geek’n’Rolla conference about dealing with growth, hiring a brilliant team and creating a great company culture.  As I said in my speech, many of Huddle’s achievements make me very proud but (probably) the thing that i’m proudest of is the team of amazing people we’ve brought [...]

Go West?

Posted on 17. Apr, 2009 by Alastair.

Right, rather than launching into a particularly bad rendition of the Pet Shop Boys, I thought today I would muse on a particular thorny issue for Huddle and many of our peers on the UK’s early stage tech scene.
Should we stay British or relocate to the Valley?
If yes, when?  Is this a sign of giving in and [...]

I’ve been at Huddle for a year now, and since joining I’ve not only dramatically increased my learning curve, but I’ve become a much better all round developer, and so has everyone else in the team. So how does Huddle vary from other jobs I’ve had, and what are we doing differently? Here are a [...]
