Session 5: Collaboration
Presenting Companies
Tingz
Tingz is changing the way people experience the Internet by giving them tools and services to gather content from across the web and distribute it directly to their digital devices and social networks. Tingz offers a surprisingly consistent and easy experience across a wide variety of devices, operating systems and platforms. We think of Tingz as the Invisible Internet, surfacing content in a way that allows people to seamlessly integrate the Internet into their daily lives. |
MIXTT
MIXTT is a fresh spin on social networking that enables groups of friends to meet other groups in their city. Users create group profiles for their various “cliques” or “crews”, post and share social plans, then connect with other groups based on common interests or activities. Unlike other social networking sites, MIXTT aims to facilitate offline interaction, as opposed to merely enhancing time spent at the computer. In addition, MIXTT empowers users to meet people outside of their regular social circles, not just stay in touch with acquaintances they have already established. Simply put, MIXTT is the Internet’s best tool for socializing, professional networking, dating, sports playing, or any realm of life that can benefit from a simple, natural, and laid-back way of meeting new people. |
Imindi
Imindi Inc has build the world`s first thought engine to expand our individual thinking and build our collective mind on the web. Based on neuroscientific principles, IMINDI’s Thought Engine augments the way humans think of new ideas, concepts and questions. Unlike search engines that help users find information or answers to pre-determined questions, IMINDI helps users connect with other liked-minded thinkers on the Web to augment individual thinking, build collective intelligence and even discover new knowledge. IMINDI is based on a patent-pending platform that combines a layer of individual thinking on top of a social network and a core database that we call the "Mindex" or the Mind Index. The resulting index will become a novel resource to expand our human creativity and subjectivity on the web. Unlike some companies that dream of teaching computers to think better. IMINDI approaches it from the opposite end our dream is to use computers and the internet to help humans think better individually and collectively. Descartes said, Cogito ergo sum - I think therefore I am. Here at Imindi Inc it is our deepest hope for the future of humanity that by expanding individual thinking and building collective mind on the web our product will help us all be able to say "Cogitamus ergo erimus - We think therefore we shall be" |
Popego
Popego is an Internet company building AI technology and innovative interfaces to create a more personal and meaningful web. We envisioned a new dimension emerging over the social graph: Interests; and we set out to build a product capable of exploring this new dimension, modeling interests and synthesizing interest profiles for internet users based on all their online activity, extracting semantic information from their online content and connections. Based on these interest models, we let our users filter the web to get those gems that are meaningful to them. Besides interesting recommendations, our users can also share their interest profiles to show the world what they like and find people with matching interests. The company was seed funded with USD 250,000 by friends and family, including two very successful entrepreneurs (Wenceslao Casares and Esteban Sosnik), and Aconcagua Ventures, an early stage venture capital firm and incubator where the company operates. |
