Would you sell some advertising on your face for £50K?

Ross Harper and Ed Moyse are two London students who figured a web2.0 startup would be an interesting experiment and also an opportunity to pay off their combined student debt. Well we learned that it was at least a profitable venture. Whether intentional or not, their concept contained some highly searched keywords as it’s called www.Buymyface.co.uk

The two may have underestimated the power of viral marketing: they were fortunate to receive more than just a profit that would settle their student debt: Work has now taken them to France where they apparently landed a contract for the 2014 youth Olympics following a skydiving adventure.

In an environment where innovation is often copied at the speed of light we belief Ross and Ed may have a suitable barrier to entry in their favour: whether every social entrepreneur would want to sell as advertising space on their face is yet to be seen.
