About Ethan Martin and ROUND
Ethan Martin is the founder and CEO of ROUND, the UK’s leading in-revenue app. He’s also been featured in Forbes and is nominated for this year’s Great British Entrepreneur Awards.
Ethan started ROUND in 2018, as a student at The University of Sussex, who saw an opportunity to revolutionise the in-venue experience. Ethan comments “We have seen a trend of consolidation in transport, delivery, search, social, etc. and I felt that hospitality was getting left behind.”
Aiming to be the “Uber” of in-venue ordering by providing one app to purchase food & drink from your phone, wherever you go, ROUND was created. The startup offers an end-to-end digital solution for delivery, collection and table service for the hospitality industry, benefiting restaurants, bars, cafes and more.
ROUND is seeking to disrupt how we purchase in-venue, by making it easier for customers and businesses – increasing convenience and revenue. Just Eat have revolutionised out-of-venue and ROUND are aiming to do the same in-venue.
ROUND are currently crowdfunding and plan to raise £1m to invest further into their product and team to grow far beyond their 1m users and 1000 venues.
