Two to Watch: Celebrating EdenFiftyOne and Gigmate on the LCR Tech Climbers 2025 List

We’re incredibly proud to celebrate our clients EdenFiftyOne and Gigmate, who have been named on the Liverpool City Region Tech Climbers 2025 “Ones to Watch” list.

This recognition highlights the region’s most exciting early-stage tech ventures — businesses creating impact, driving innovation, and pushing for change. And for us at GoodShip*, it’s a moment to celebrate the real work behind the scenes — the brand building, the prototyping, the pivots, and the persistence.

EdenFiftyOne: Raising the Standard for English Literacy

EdenFiftyOne is reimagining how we teach English literacy. Their platform offers a structured, skill-based approach to developing the core competencies of reading, writing, speaking, and listening,  helping students learn more effectively and helping teachers deliver more impactful lessons.

By focusing on 51 universal skills, EdenFiftyOne has created a flexible and inclusive framework that not only improves classroom outcomes but also creates fairer pathways to employment and opportunity. Their work is rooted in both rigorous research and lived experience - and it’s already being adopted in classrooms across the country.

At GoodShip*, we’ve helped EdenFiftyOne shape their strategic identity — refining their brand story, sharpening their messaging, and supporting their growth into a standout edtech platform. It’s been a privilege to help them lay the foundation for a venture that’s as values-led as it is visionary.

Gigmate: Where Music Meets Community

Gigmate is changing how people experience live music. More than just a gig listing tool, Gigmate is a community-first discovery platform — helping fans find gigs they’ll love, connect with like-minded people, and support the grassroots venues and artists that keep local music scenes alive.

Focused on cities like Liverpool, Manchester, London, and Leeds, Gigmate encourages real-world connections in an increasingly digital world — making it easier for fans to show up, and for smaller venues to fill the room.

GoodShip* has been proud to partner with Gigmate on every step of their product journey. We led on branding and UX design, built their mobile and web platforms, and helped them create a distinctive user experience that feels personal, playful, and accessible. We also developed AI-powered features that personalise gig recommendations and generate valuable data for venues and promoters — bridging the gap between technology and culture in a way that genuinely benefits the live music ecosystem.

Gigmate isn’t just about finding gigs — it’s about finding your people. And we’re proud to have helped bring that vision to life.
