Vox9 Studios Just won 'Rising Star' at the UK Startup Awards
Hi Everyone,
I've got an update I'm pretty proud to share. Last Thursday (4th June), Vox9 Studios was named the "Rising Star" winner for the South East region at the UK Startup Awards, and we're now through to the UK national final.
This means a lot to me, and to all of you who supported me through the YouTube demonetisation last year. Vox9 went live on 8 February and has grown significantly since, with several of the features and updates many of you suggested. It hasn't even been running 4 months yet!
What the judges said about Vox9 Studios:
"Vox9 Studios stood out for achieving exceptional early traction in just 25 days, with thousands of members, around 1,000 paying subscribers and significant listening engagement without paid advertising. The judges recognised a highly promising platform giving independent authors a fairer, more direct route to audiobook audiences and income."
For me, this is recognition of a platform that's actually helping independent authors turn their stories into audiobooks - for free, and putting their work in front of new audiences who'd never have found them otherwise.
My wife captured the moment Vox9 was called out as the winner. The clip is here (heads-up: the song they played may make the video unavailable in some regions): https://youtube.com/shorts/HDQowjMwYPY

Thanks for sticking with me on this. The UK national final is next (September), and I'll keep you posted.
