CZECH REPUBLIC

OUR PRODUCTS & SERVICESSKACE mobile apps engage managers in providing employees with instant and frequent performance feedback and training, resulting in motivation for employees to advance professionally, while providing business owners with insightful business & people analytics. Why? Because the majority of employees, especially millennials, are not getting the feedback they are asking for. Cumbersome pen and paper annual performance review forms and current overcomplicated HR solutions are not working - 95% of HR managers agree. The current tools are not providing feedback frequently or effectively enough, leading to employee dissatisfaction, high employee turnover, untrained staff, bad service quality, bad online reviews and consequently to high costs and unfulfilled revenue potential.

WHAT MAKES US UNIQUENone of our competitors use the swipe-only Y/N questions GUI. Instead of using input fields, scales, etc. our users can convey more information faster and without any bias than by writing sentences. This also makes us uniquely adaptable and scalable across large standardised companies because everyone gets to know how to use SKACE. By interconnecting managers’ and employees’ apps, the feedback provided over SKACE transforms into coaching insights into the employee’s app right away.

WHY SHOULD YOU MEET YOUSKACE is a leapfrog product with nothing like it in our category and the momentum is ours to take. Microsoft (2014), Deloitte (2015) and now Accenture (2015) with its 330,000 employees are all ditching yearly performance reviews in favour of instant ongoing feedback across their companies. We are finalists of Techstars METRO (Berlin) and Startupbootcamp E-Commerce (Amsterdam).

OUR PRODUCTS & SERVICESA social community-based startup which creates a bridge between the two worlds we live in: the virtual and the real-world.

WHAT MAKES US UNIQUEImagine a real-world manufacturing company producing a variety of goods, which however is managed by Internet users. The management platform resides on a virtual community site where users can buy shares of a real-world enterprise. They can participate in the planning and management decisions to the extent allowed by their number of shares. Production.Social is the owner of the company, its assets and its tools, however the business model can vary. These models will be developed based on

the common agreement of the shareholders, who establish strict rules for the given model and a limit for the maximum value of a share that can be purchased. “GardenInTheCloud.com” is the first such business model we have developed. It is based on the idea of a community garden that is managed by virtual shareholders.

WHY SHOULD YOU MEET USWe are looking for investments and we would like to test the idea.

OUR PRODUCTS & SERVICESSpringTab helps to provide better intelligence and personalization to increase conversion. SpringTab is a social business intelligence tool that helps content providers, such as publishers or online retailers, who use single sign-on, achieve better conversion by revealing social intelligence about their target group to create a personalized user experience.

WHAT MAKES US UNIQUEWhat makes SpringTab stand out is that it is hard to create an easy to use scalable solution, which can work across all platforms. From technical side, it was designed around scalability and is easy to integrate. It takes 1-2 days, compared to months with the other solutions. SpringTab revolutionizes the competitive landscape by providing users with personalized content on a mass scale. While similar services do exist, their focus, the level of personalization they provide and their pricing differ significantly. The main business model among the competitors is freemium, and each one of them provides clients with an analytics tool. SpringTab focuses on three service-groups: 1) Data mining and Targeting, 2) Analytics and 3) Personalization. We rely on social data, while most of our competitors do not, which describes the user’s personality in the best possible way. While the recommendation engines are anonymous and only track site activity,

SpringTab identifies the user and focus on their social psychographic data. We created a SaaS that is as easy to integrate as Google Analytics and is cross-platform, so there is no need to relogin users throughout digital channels, like promotion, website, newsletter. It enables a brand to get to know the customer on a deeper level and develop a real personal relationship with them. Located in Budapest, we intend to follow the lead of successful regional startups, to Prezi or LogMeIn to retain and take advantage of our attractive development costs which we can pass on as savings to the customer.

WHY SHOULD YOU MEET USInitially we thought that the local Hungarian branch of a Fortune500 would be our target customer, and that by doing a local test project it will validate us and allow us to scale globally. However this turned out not to be correct as regional VPs cannot make decisions about marketing or technology development. We need to go where the real decision makers are and that is why we want you to meet us.

OUR PRODUCTS & SERVICESAlfavox offers its own mature unique platforms such as Remote Doctor, Virtual Bank or Insurance branch e-Commerce. Thanks to the above solutions, companies and doctors can handle remotely, via the Internet, a full range of services for their patients and clients. The consultant can fill in and share documents or presentations and doctors can look at the laboratory analyses with the patient. They can send files safely, mark the important details on the screen, complete documents on the screen together with the end user and present them with the real product. Contact can be initiated at any time from any place through devices such as tablets, smart phones, PCs etc. Alfavox has won many awards in the following areas: innovativeness, high quality product, best product for the banking sector.

WHAT MAKES US UNIQUEThere is no other platform on the market with such complex functionality. One of the significant advantages this product is the possibility to queue the traffic and show personalised advertisements for those who are waiting for a connection. In the situation when many clients are

trying to contact an institution, each call is prioritised and put into the waiting queue with the most important issues treated in the first instance. Alfavox is intelligent - so the client who calls the single public point can be forwarded to another consultant’s number - the traditional method would be that the client has to call other numbers. There is also a calendar option where the client can make remote appointments with the doctor or consultant. Another very important feature is that sessions are recorded including shared screens, documents, video transmission, audio & chat.

WHY SHOULD YOU MEET USA report by the CBI Ministry of Foreign Affairs shows that there is high unmet need in the market which Alfavox delivers.

OUR PRODUCTS & SERVICESOur goal is to replace static, old-fashioned mannequins in shop windows with an intelligent avatar which analyses people passing-by: emotions, gender, age and clothes - attracts their attention and calls them inside, using incrementally improving A.I. The store is the most effective area to engage consumers. It has been proven that almost 80% of purchasing decisions are made just at the point of purchase. However, what are retail shops doing in order to get potential customers inside the store? Old-fashioned static mannequins in shop windows have worked for ages but the future is called Emomime! Emomime is a digital human that lives in show-windows. It lures people inside the shop using advanced cloud-based artificial intelligence. Just “plug&play” and Emomime changes a boring shop window into emotional experiences that convert passers-by into customers!

WHAT MAKES US UNIQUEThe product is based on advanced A.I. algorithms together with a package software solution that does not have any competing business. Emomime not only identifies people passing-by, its algorithms recognise emotions, gender, age and colours of peoples’ clothes and adapt Emomime’s behaviour according to it. Emomime has a growing set of interactive behaviors that convert shop windows into an emotional experience that

is funny, interesting, exciting, lovely, captivating. The cloud-based implementation gives Emomime a capability to learn how to behave more and more efficiently so that people love Emomime and the shop he represents. Emomime needs just one Kinect sensor or a low cost (<€150) camera with a computer, any kind of display and internet connectivity and it is ready to work.

WHY SHOULD YOU MEET USWe are a team from a laboratory of artificial intelligence and cybernetics that wants to transfer knowledge from academia to commerce. Despite the fact that we have been working on this project for only 6 months we have had a number of successes: 2nd place on Startup Weekend, Winners of Business Idea grant by a Slovak bank, finalists of the University World Cup, presentation for the president of the Slovak Republic and many appearances in national media.
