It can be used with any smart device - phone, tablet, desktop. The iKettle was swiftly followed by a Wi-Fi-controlled bean-to-cup Smarter Coffee machine. Now in their third and second iterations respectively, the machines can be controlled from any Wi-Fi network by multiple users at any one time.Smarter has just launched a fridge cam that does the same job an expensive smart fridge for a fraction of the cost. Taking a picture of the contents of your fridge and giving up-to-the-minute information via the Smarter app means duplicate buying and food waste should become things of the past.Starting the business with an everyday necessity, the kettle, Christian’s ultimate ambition is to supply hardware to every single home in the country. This has the potential to revolutionise the way we shop, prevent food waste on a mass scale (over £10 bn potential savings estimated) and even contribute to better public health outcomes.The products alongside Christian’s ability to identify key product trends are already disrupting the connected home

appliance industry. But he cannot achieve his vision alone and has built an energetic team of 15 ambitious individuals. Robust growth plans will see the team double in the next year.Christian started his first company at age 18, securing investment from serial entrepreneur, Theo Paphitis. after building and selling his first business, Christian then set his sights on the technology industry setting up Smarter. The self-funded, profitable, international business is about to break into the US and already supplies all major home retailers including amazon, Currys and John Lewis.

We help media, hospitality and technical customer care specialists, research agencies focusing on public opinion research and monitoring by deploying deep text analysis.

Geneea detects the language of the text distinguisihing more than 30 languages.

oUR pRoDUCTS & SERvICESOur product is a hardware indoor safety infrastructure for detecting and mapping danger in real time (e.g. fire, shooting, gas leakage), notifying people via mobile app, navigating them step-by-step avoiding danger to the nearest exit and sharing indoor position with rescue services in case of lockdown.

whaT MaKES US UnIQUE

For the past decade emergency systems have been overlooked as a target for disruptive innovation with outdated methods used to detect emergencies. Huge economic and social loss results, with building fires being the most frequent cause. In the EU, 2 million fires occur annually causing €126 billion worth of damage, equivalent to 1% of EU GDP. Our solution is a smart sticker device containing a set of sensors, e.g. smoke, temperature, flame, gas, sound. Stickers are installed into a building and interconnected with each other via a Bluetooth mesh network reliably detecting and mapping a fire within a building and notifying people about the emergency inside. Our system can also be used for mass orchestrated navigation.

whY ShoUlD YoU MEET USThe indoor location market will be worth $4.4 Bn by 2019. Our main focus is on commercial building developers, owners and facility managers, an estimated market potential of $3.3 Bn + yearly fees of $8 Bn. The immediate target is penetrating 0.05% of the market of approximately 6 million (combined US & EU). We have self-financed $10k in cash and $30k overall and are seeking $551,699 as a convertible note with 25% discount. We already have $500,000 committed from other investors.

oUR pRoDUCTS & SERvICESYottly is changing email marketing for e-commerce. We are an adTech company developing its own real-time technology for processing data.

whaT MaKES US UnIQUEE-commerce systems usually cannot work with email effectively, which is a significant source of irritation, because email is the best performing marketing channel which, if used well, may easily form 30-60% of an e-commerce company’s annual revenue. We are completely reversing the way of how to find the best audiences. Instead of doing customer segmentation, we just need to know what needs to be sold (product a,B,C, brand apple, category mobile phone) and our aI-based system automatically finds the perfect audiences. This greatly simplifies the process of generating newsletters and also is enabling our customers painless audience targeting without working with segmentation.

whY ShoUlD YoU MEET YoUWe believe that online marketing is gradually undergoing

a major change thanks to the arrival of smart technologies and autonomous systems.Our competitive advantage is:• Content personalization through email, web and display

which is managed by our a.I. engine• Focus on ecommerce only• Custom a.I. model development, not just reusing widely

used modelsOur marketing strategy is primarily direct negotiation with large e-commerce companies and marketing agencies as their technology provider. Our revenue model is pay per transaction event with a percentage success fee from sales generated. Our funding is sustainable - we can cover our expenses with our sales. Our revenue in 2016 was CZK 11-12 mil and our company is at the stage of selling the product.
