Where are Sussex's technical, creative & unconventional folk?


Brighton Dynamic

from The Skiff

Just under 100 of us work at The Skiff each week - around 25 per day.

It's lovely hanging out with a small group of people you can get to know well. But it's also important we get out of our little bubble from time to time. Just as it would be if we worked in a more conventional office.

One way we can expand our local connections is via this newsletter.

We'd like to feature more people and companies we don't see regularly.

Here are some people featured in Brighton Dynamic last year (all members of The Skiff):

Now you can get markdown text, metadata and fully hydrated HTML in a single API call. Optionally deliver direct to S3-compatible storage and go async with webhooks.

And these local companies were profiled in 2023 (all either used by or supported by members of The Skiff):

PS Yes you are welcome to suggest yourself and/or your own company!

For me, browsing around was a little like taking a walk around Brighton and occasionally bumping...

a nostalgic video of when we first got the keys to the The Skiff

Brighton Dynamic from The Skiff This week the first company I started will be 18 years old. Over these 18 years, the company has generated over £2 million in revenue. Despite this, it’s never turned a significant profit or distributed a dividend. On paper, its age might seem like the most impressive thing about it. Financially this is one of many failure modes that businesses fall into. If I'd known what its future was going to look like back in 2006 and understood why I really created it, I...
