Hello. My name is Michael and I will be your guide for today.
I work for JIC, the innovation centre that's empowering people to create companies that change
the world.
today we are going to witness the nine startups, nine presentations that will amaze you.
So, nine startups that in the future, I hope, will really change the world.
So, how many of you have being here on our Starcube Show in May this
year here?
Some hands. Okay. Not many, so I guess I can use the same jokes.
But tonight is going to be different, it's going to be bigger and better than
ever.
Because today I want to show you that anyone can start a company, each one
of you.
Kids in the USA start a company when they are really young, when they are
selling lemonades or cookies.
Teenagers can start a company. For example, a Thijl clerics in Netherlands rides on his
bike each day to the Amsterdam with fresh products from the farmers.
And even seniors can start a company.
Colonel Sanders from KFC he start at KFC when he was sixty five and had
just one hundred dollars in his pocket.
So anyone can start a company.
But,
not everyone really decide to do so. And why is it?
So, some people, some people are just lazy.
They don't want to take a risk.
They don't want to take responsibilities.
Some people, they are just afraid of a failure.
They want to take a risk at all.
But today, will see the teams that want to take a risk, teams that know
that they should never, ever give up.
These teams are not afraid of anything, they are not afraid of work
they are not afraid of enemies, they are not afraid of other startups they are
meeting at the very same place everyday.
But they might be afraid of such a big audience.
As I do.
So, because it doesn't happen every day, for a
speaker to present on the stage with this huge screen like this; I think is
like seventy meters or something,
and with two hundred people,
so I want you to be really supportive for our startups because they might be
scared to death on the stage.
It's totally different when you walk down, just like, two meters here. It's a totally
different feeling.
So I want you to give a warm applause to any startup which... or actually,
not only startup, to anyone who is climbing up the stairs.
Okay.
I think you did it when I , when I started, but let's make a
small rehearsal again, because this was not good enough for our startups. So, I will
go back, I will go down. And when I go up, I want you to
give me a big applause.
Okay that's goo,d but because you were quicker than I thought. I had this for
you already that the your applause is not good enough, so
let's try once more, please.
No, not yet.
Thank you very much. So, keep this
keep just applause anytime someone climbs up on the stage.
Today is a special day.
Do you know why? Does anyone know why today is a special day?
Yes, it's MikulaĹĄ.
What does it mean?
MikulaĹĄ. There are some people from other countries. So, MikulaĹĄ is a day when kids
that behaved well during the whole year get rewarded by sweets.
And kids that behaved bad during the whole year, they get punished.
So
it's something like Christmas and Halloween in the same evening with Santa Clause, angel and
devil visiting kids.
I wanted to start this show dressed as an angel, but I was told that
I would lose my dignity.
So I'm here dressed quite normally, but I want to keep the tradition and I
have one small present for you.
Today each one of you will get, because of our great sponsors, sorry there's a
wrong slide.
Today
Sorry, small mistake.
You will get some presents, and it depends on how you behaved last year.
So, today you will also get another present, and this is going to be
some great feeling, I hope, great feeling of, from interesting presentations.
So, there will be nine teams, nine startups presenting. So these are all the people
that attended the first event of Starcube this year.
They will be presenting today and I hope your expectations will be okay. And if
you like our show today, if you like our we show today, consider yourself as
a well behaving kids, that get a present in the form of today's show.
But before we start, with our presentations from our Starcube teams,
I want, I have a small surprise for you, and it's going to be also
a surprise for our technicians.
Because we will try to connect to other centres around the world to meet other
startups that created their own companies.
And because we hear everywhere about Americans and German and UK startups, I want to
present to you some of the
some of the startups from the countries like Armenia, Indonesia, Georgia, sorry, Spain and some
other countries.
So,
I hope you will get inspired by our teams that started around the globe in
the countries that are not so rich as the US, but did a great job.
So, first team comes from Jakarta, is a team centeng.me which means in translation something
like mercenary.
And
I think we should, we should play the video.
Hello Starcube Show! My name is Febri and I from Indonesia, and I'm the founder
of centeng.me.
So, what is centeng.me?
Centeng.me is a social media that help you to complete jobs in fun ways.
We adapted the comcept of Microtask and CrowdSource so people can complete as many jobs
and ask for help from many people at once.
For example,
Your work is piling up and you know you cannot finish them all in time.
So, you need somebody to help you finish the small, but annoying jobs.
Join Centeng by signing up, and post the job, fill the form for the job
and offer point for it at Centeng.
And the Centeng will come and help with all of your problems.
Your work will be finished and Centeng will be rewarded using points.
And that points can be exchanged to coupons, photos or even gadgets
So that Centeng can gain something from this system too.
And the interesting part is that Centeng are coming from the user itself. So, normal
user can be a Centeng
And start to help others. So, basically Centeng.me is a user to user system.
Right now Centeng already has three thousand users, fifty Centengs
fiften hundred Facebook likes and more than ten thousands followers on Twitter.
In just three months of beta period.
For users who are targeting college students from local universities, because they need extra pocket
money.
and corporate workers who didn't have the time to finish their own jobs.
And for gifts we'll be selling points to company or brands, so they can create
jobs for many people at once without the efforst of getting more points
Normal user can still create jobs for free, but they can't also buy points for
creating the jobs.
I think that's all from me. Thank you for your time and for more information,
you can visit www.centeng.me or email me
febriantomiradji@centeng.me.
Bye!
Okay. Another startup we have is from Armenia, from Yerevan. And this startup will try
to connect to us directly with
Skype, so let's try, let's try the connection.
Narek, you hear me? Yes, sure. Perfect. So, just take one minute or so not
one minute, ten seconds, and we will get you on screen.
Okay, you can start. There are two hundred people and they want to hear something
more about your project.
Hello everyone, from Armenia!
We are team...
That's not loud, the is not two hundred people. He will not believe us that
there are two hundred people. So, once more, hi!
Hi!
Yes, that's better, thanks.
We are team mLab, we are presenting project Clean H2O, which is about checking water
quality.
We designed and embedded platform which connects to different sensors that measure different parameters of
water and wirelessly sends it to wi-fi enabled devices.
The advantages of our system are that it is compact, it is cheap, it is
customisable and very easy to modify by adding or removing sensors. It has a user
friendly interface, it is wi-fi enabled and it also and analyzes the major data.
After extensive research, we came up with three alternative business models and divided our customer
group into three segments.
First segment include individual users, aquarium and swimming pool owners, aquaculture, food and beverage industries.
For example, imagine fishing farmers checking the chartability and oxygen quantity in water.
The second segment includes mining industries, irrigation centre, environmentalist and governments.
We have talked to prime minister of Armenia for collaboration in creating interactive water quality
map that will display the quality of water resources in our country in real time.
And finally, third segment includes population at risk, we have a dream to give them
solution to check water the quality that's decreasing the number of deaths, water bourne diseases
etc.
We have a great team of enthusiastic young people with the same vision that are
specialised in engineering, software development, organization and business development. We have many key business partners,
which you can see hare and we have worked on the project for more than
one year.
Thank you for listening and you're welcome to ask any questions.
Okay.
I have a few questions for you. Why did you choose this project? Why did
you start with Clean H2O?
So, the prior, initial mission, initial mission was to create some solution that would help
people who live in populations are already at risk, because they die everyday while drinking
polluted water. We wanted to create some affordable solution that would help them to check
the water quality before drinking.
So, that was our first mission and this is this is our final mission.
Okay, great. And the second question is that, what actually did prime minister of Armenia
tell you about your project? Is there, your government is going to really use your
software?
Yes, they told, the prime minister told us that they need side solution because monitoring
water quality in real time is something that is very needed for every country because
water problem is a great problem nowadays. And they told that they will be very
happy to collaborate with us for the further creation of that mat.
Okay, and last question for you. How how hard it is to start a company
in Armenia? Is it okay or do have many problem with the government? Does th,e
do the partners you have really support and in what way? How is it problematic
to start a company in Armenia?
The problem, the biggest problem is not the government. Biggest problem is just to get
the right business plan, because if you have wrong business plan you will just fail.
So I think the biggest problem it is in you, in your solution, not in
the other things. And our partners help us very much and our key business partner
is Microsoft Innovation Centre of Armenia. They help us very much with the marketing side,
because we are all engineers and software developers; we don't understand margin and marketing; they
help us very much. Okay, thank you, Narik. Thank very much. Thank you all, have
a nice day. Thank you. Bye-bye.
Yes, I'm pretty sure that in Armenia they have a winter as well, because we
saw someone taking the cap.
So the third team today is going to be a team from Madrid in Spain.
Hello to our friends of Czech Republic from TedCas We are glad to participate in
Starcube Show.
We develop contribution interfaces for healthcare. So, like being defined as minority report conducto
Let me show you the problem.
There are plenty of information
in several screens.
Here, here and here.
to this information in real time
but in order to keep the sterilization of the room touch any keyboard, or any
mouse,touchscreen or an
So, metals used at this moment
are not efficient neither ready for the patient.
The doctor has to leave the room review that information, memorize it
and get back to the operation room.
Using about 20 minute each time.
And they wish to introduce some extra equipment in the room, but the risk of
infection increases, as you can see here
But, not a problem.
TedCas has a solution for this.
We have the below attached interface.
based on the electronic devices like Kinect from Microsoft.
With them, medical doctors
are able to manipulate the digital information
through respond and simple gestures with their hands.
A you can see, the doctors can navigate through the images, controlling some options of
this medical software. They can do tune, they can pack in the images etc.
So, this is TedCast, than you for your attention.
Bye-bye.
Just to tell you a little bit more about TedCast. That is a company which
is right now in Silicon Valley pitching for investors, so we were not able to
connect with them directly. And what you saw was a live video from their augmented
reality system for doctors.
And now we have another project from Amman in Jordan.
We will try to, we will play the video, two minutes about their project and
then we will try to connect with them via teleconference.
Give us this opportunity to share our project with
great audience.
We are sometimes unaware of important sounds happe during our days.
We present our unique sollution, Dancing Pillow
that can alert
in case of emergencies
and important situations.
It consists of a
three main parts.
The Dancing Pillow device
pillow
a mobile phone application
and flash light smell unit.
The smartphone application
listens to the fire alarm sound
vibrate
flashlight and
So comparing ourself to our cometitors,
quite expensive, and uses electricity to work. What our solution offers? Number one lowest price.
Number two can detect any fire alarm sound in the world. Number three
separates
infrastructure of the building.
So who would buy our product?
and people who snore. We know that 16% of the polupation are hearing impaired
and of course, countless who smore and are heavy sleepers.
We require an investment of $200000
that is going to occur
next year in the first quarter after selling 2400
The device will only cost $80 without the accessories.
Okay let's try to connect to Amman, to Jordan.
And
Have a short chat with Anor.
When we tested the connection, we were not able to use the video, but we,
can we connect with audio?
Okay, so Anvar, can you hear me?
Hello?
Hello?
Yes.
Yes, we can hear you well.
Yes, sorry we just have a problem with our, the speakers on the stage. Okay
Anvar, can you hear me?
Yes, Yes. Perfect. There two hundred people in the audience. And I would like you
to tell them did you start with this project, what was the initial impulse for
you to start Dancing Pillow project?
Okay. In the beginning, we didn't wake up and
in time for the lecture
Okay. And so now you are using this system with flashlights.
Yes, at the beginning we used the stress alarm.
Alarm that sprays water on you.
to wake up.
Yes, and it did work?
Yes, it worked but it wasn't very practical.
Okay. So now it's no wet solution, it's quite dry, but with the flashlight and
the vibration. I really like the idea for people who are, who are not able
to hear, people that have to be waken some other way than just with the
normal alarm.
And you did... how, did you test your solution on this people?
Yes, we have visited many deaf centers
And they really liked it and joined it, and they wish they could
Okay. Thanks. And the last question. You mentioned two hundred thousand k investment. That's the
amount that you already get from someone or you applied for such a money?
We still haven't got the amount yet.
Okay. So,
Do you have, the is the main project for you and I saw you have
several ways of, several ways of waking people.
So, several devices how to wake people. And what kind of device you use right
now or you will be using today?
Do you use your own solution?
Yes we use our solution to wake up in the morning and
because, actually, heavy sleeper
this device to wake up in the morning. Okay.
So, thank you, thank you very much. We will switch data presentation. Thank you and
goodbye. Bye-bye, thank you.
Other project, the last one that we will be connected to is from Saintander in
Spain. This project is MedCitas. And for those of you who are familiar with our
startups, it might seem a little bit similar to something you saw last Starcube.
So, please
let's have another video.
Hello from Saintander in Spain to Czech Republic. We are glad to participate at the
Starcube Show and to have the opportunity to present MedCitas. MedCitas is a complete appointment
management service developed on Windows Eight platform. It allows people to book their doctor's visit
differently from their Windows Eight mobile phone or desktop device from anywhere anytime. Access the
MedCitas directory of health care professionals, people can search for a reliable doctors in the
nearest location, go look for the specialist based on the criteria they choose. Every quiz
will be safe in the system and will be instantly available for the doctors to
be checked. Doctors, on the other hand, can increase their visibility and consolidate all the
information on appointments coming from mobile application in MEdCitas contact center or our web site
in one single place. That allows them to foresee how much time they need per
patient, how many they can actually recieve. By combining our multi platform technology, we founded
a specialized contact center platform
for managing appointments, we offered a public sector, insurance providers, hospitals clinics, and in particular
private practice doctors, dentists, psychologists or any professional in the health sector to ensure their
entire appointment service. Our aim is to be on the line of the work of
doctors, to provide easy access to a medical appointment for any patient at any time,
anywhere. This offers them the opportunity to visit a doctor within twenty four to seventy
two hours, wherever they are. No long waiting list anymore. Patients are coming and doctors
are waiting for them spending as much time as required. We're waiting for you at
MedCitas.com.
Okay.
That was pretty much what you wanted to show you from Startups, but you have
a small problem because you didn't applause when I was walking up
So,
We will not rehearse that again. But please, keep in mind, in the next few
minutes you will need really to support our startups, because they seem to be quite
nervous.
