We’ve got news that has us doing a little desk dance!

shizl has been named a finalist in the 2025 Hustle Awards by Startups Magazine – and we’re absolutely thrilled to be recognised in the Early-Stage Innovation category!

This award celebrates startups that are bringing bold, game-changing ideas to life, and it means a lot to see shizl up there alongside other brilliant businesses shaping the future.

Why this matters to us…

shizl was born from a simple but urgent idea:
In today’s fast-moving digital world, creative and digital agencies deserve an easy, affordable way to protect the work they create.

Whether it’s a killer brand identity, a product pitch, or a full-blown app build, creative output deserves legal protection – and until now, getting that protection has been messy, expensive, or just plain forgotten.

We built shizl.com to flip that on its head

To make legal protection accessible, fast, and genuinely useful to the agencies, creators and startups driving innovation. Being recognised for early-stage innovation tells us we’re onto something big…and we’re just getting started.

Thank you

A huge shoutout to the Startups Magazine team and the Hustle Awards judges for recognising the work we’re doing. And of course, thank you to all our early adopters, testers, clients, advisors, and supporters. Every bit of feedback, every vote of confidence – it’s what keeps us pushing forward.

Want to help us win some more shizl?

We’re also nominated in the Readers’ Choice Award, and we’d love your support!

Votes close 24th June

Let’s show the world that protecting creative work is not just smart – it’s essential.

Onwards and flippin upwards

More exciting things are coming soon (yes, we’re cooking up some new shizl). But for now, we’re taking a moment to celebrate this milestone…and to say thank you.
