UK Angling App Catch Launches in the US, Casting Its Line Across the Atlantic
06/11/2025, London, United Kingdom // PRODIGY: Feature Story // Catch, a United Kingdom-based angling app, has announced its expansion into the United States market. Its mission has always been to digitize and modernize the outdated and fragmented recreational fishing experience. Now, the company is bringing its community-first, tech-driven model to the American angler market, introducing a new era of fishing innovation and connectivity in the region. 'We started Catch to solve a particular problem we saw in the UK: outdated, disconnected experiences for anglers and fishery owners. We digitized what was essentially a paper and post-it note industry,' Catch co-founder Tim Price says. 'But the mission was never about the UK alone. The US has an enormous and vibrant angling community, and we heard their appetite for something better. This expansion is about meeting that demand with a platform shaped by anglers, for anglers.' Catch was born out of the dual passions of its founders. They have a lifelong love of fishing and an extensive background in technology. When the company launched in the UK in 2022, the recreational angling scene was largely offline. Venues operated without modern booking systems, marketing strategies, or even websites, relying on word-of-mouth, social media pages, and walk-ins. For anglers, finding up-to-date information or making bookings was cumbersome, inconsistent, and frustrating. Catch tackled these inefficiencies by building a centralized digital ecosystem. 'We developed Catch to be a marketplace that connects thousands of UK fishing venues with tens of thousands of anglers through a single platform,' Price says. Session Timeline Essentially, Catch is about delivering convenience, insight, and community. Anglers can discover top venues, book spots with confidence, track catches with AI-assisted reports, and record tactics and conditions through session notes. Features like Catch Blueprints allow users to map out their favorite fishing locations, while Pro Rewards offers exclusive discounts on fishing gear. These features were directly shaped by feedback from the Catch community. Every product decision has been driven by the needs and desires of real anglers, creating an evolving platform that grows with its users. Its impact in the UK has been evident. The growing community frequently praises the ease of use and the added peace of mind it brings. As one UK user said, 'I used this app four times now to book our fishing weekends away. Their customer service is the best I have ever experienced. I would highly recommend it.' Others echo this sentiment, calling it 'the future of fishing' and applauding the simplicity and transparency of the user experience. Now, with its entry into the US market, Catch is poised to deliver that same value to a new audience. While the American fishing landscape differs significantly, Catch will focus initially center on its companion app features. These include AI-powered catch reports, session tracking, blueprints, and angler rewards. This launch model reflects an understanding of the segmentation within US angling culture, from freshwater bass anglers to saltwater charter groups. Catch Report Catch looks forward to delivering a uniquely American experience through the app. The upcoming months will see the release of tailored features that reflect regional fishing styles, license systems, and species preferences. Beyond that, Catch plans to become the go-to platform for fishing guides and captains, helping them fill boats and reach new customers through free listings and integrated booking systems. A key part of the Catch roadmap includes partnerships with US-based fishing guides and captains. These collaborations aim to streamline the booking experience for anglers and guides at no cost to the guides themselves. As with everything in the Catch ecosystem, the emphasis is on enabling connection, boosting visibility, and removing barriers.

Pitching in: Donating $11-million to support Canada's next generation of entrepreneurs
The organizers: Tim Price, Frances Price, Reza Satchu and Marion Annau The pitch: Donating $11-million The cause: NEXT Canada Tim Price has more than 40 years of experience in the business world, but he still remembers being impressed by the group of young entrepreneurs he met seven years ago. Mr. Price, who is chair of Brookfield Funds of Brookfield Corp., was attending an event at NEXT Canada, a Toronto-based charity that provides a range of programs to support entrepreneurs. During the event, the budding businesspeople had just four minutes each to describe their idea and their strategy to make it work. And then they faced feedback from the audience. 'I started to write down the names of the 12 that were presenting,' Mr. Price recalled. 'And I quickly couldn't tell one for each other, but the feeling I got was that these kids have in themselves the strength to carry on whatever they're going to face. Because they're going to be beaten down time and time again, and they're going to have problems, but they're going to be supported here so they know they get a feeling for what they can do.' Mr. Price was so taken by NEXT that he joined the board of directors and became a financial supporter. He and his wife, Frances, recently pledged $10-million over the next ten years. Their gift prompted one of NEXT's co-founders, Reza Satchu, and his partner, Marion Annau, to donate $1-million. Mr. Satchu, who has founded several ventures and teaches at Harvard Business School, said the objective of NEXT is to provide instruction, mentorship and opportunities for Canada's brightest innovators. 'The first thing we wanted to do was make sure this was the most rigorous, demanding, program in the country,' he said. NEXT has three branches aimed at young entrepreneurs, company founders and start ups that use artificial intelligence. All three are 'very competitive with high accountability, high standards, high expectations,' said Mr. Satchu. Mr. Price said he still gets a thrill when he attends NEXT's events and listens to the pitches. 'It's just so exciting to be part of this,' he said. 'There's no government involved. It's all philanthropy. It's all the kids and how they react. Everything is so damn positive.'

Michael Sheen to star in final run of 'Nye' in Cardiff
The show, which has had sold-out runs in Cardiff and London, will be at the Donald Gordon Theatre from August 22 to August 30, 2025. Tickets are on sale now, starting at £20. The production, written by Tim Price and directed by Rufus Norris, tells the story of Aneurin "Nye" Bevan, the Welsh political pioneer who was MP for Tredegar when he founded the NHS. The play is described as "a vibrant and unexpectedly fun journey through the life of the man who made free healthcare a reality." The show is said to be "full of humour, heart and the undefeatable spirit of a man who believed in his vision for a better way of living." As Bevan faces the end of his life, his memories take centre stage, from his early days as a coal miner's son in Tredegar to the political clashes in Westminster that changed the future of Britain. The audience encounters friends, foes, family and revolutionary speeches, as Nye's past comes alive with warmth and bold theatricality. Sheen, originally from Newport, is joined by a cast of new and returning performers, including Remy Beasley, Matthew Bulgo, Jason Hughes, Kezrena James, Tony Jayawardena, Stephanie Jacob, Rebecca Killick, Rhodri Meilir, and Sharon Small.
