Wanted.VC Digest # 8

    Eras are changing, languages ​​are dying, more and more things are torn for Putin, and Wanted.VC continues to slowly collect startups looking for investments. Last week, we found ten more projects, and we are waiting for your opinions with all our strength: your criticism will greatly help startups to become better.

     

     Having barely learned from the evening news about the murder of Bin Laden, the 23-year-old Maurice Harari without losing time made several mock-ups with not very funny pictures about the deceased head of al-Qaeda, reprinted them on T-shirts and sold about 10,000 pieces in a couple of days, earning selling $ 120,000.
    Armed with this experience, we stocked up on prints in case of all the possible high-profile deaths in the next few years. Meanwhile, the range of services that allow you to create t-shirts with your own design, replenished with another site, Printio.ru.   +++




     The management of any organizational system has at least three main problems. The first is a large number of autonomous information systems. The second is unique technologies and models for managing different types of activities. And the third is the complexity and high cost of traditional platforms for automation of management.
    The creators of  ASys  tried to solve all three at once. +++



     “In any case, you MUST pick up one chair from the warehouse with broken packaging, only after that you will be sold three chairs from the window,” the   IKEA-Ekaterinburg manager reports to the buyer (by phone). It’s getting warmer in your soul: sitting in Moscow, you feel an inexplicable light sadness from the awareness of the unity of such a huge country - in all its manifestations, in all cities, in all IKEA.
    “I bought”  - a site through which customers learn about the characteristics of certain sellers, no matter what they sell - dresses, chairs, education or medical services. +++
     

    While the  “Life Button” is  trying to help the elderly, the creators of the “Remote fetal monitor” set a much more difficult task - to monitor the health of unborn people.
    The device they created does not yet have Russian analogues, however, it is significantly cheaper than similar imported products. +++
     


    Traditionally, parks are occupied by two warring factions. The first is mothers with children from 0 to 5 years. They are usually based on playgrounds and violently hate the second group - dog lovers. Dog lovers, unlike mothers, are most often quiet, complaisant and realize that not everyone is delighted with their bobiks.
    Both mothers and dog lovers are herd creatures. They, like their pets, are connected by a desire to unite their efforts and get the most out of their daily walks. The technology of mothers is quite simple: to find the right connections for your child and, having got a parent’s phone, go on a walk in the future, having previously agreed on the time and place.
    It is more difficult for dog lovers: they walk at different times and with different regularities, their children are very different in size and character, and most importantly, they tend to move much more actively during walks than the contingent of playgrounds. Just for them the service “Acquaintance for dogs” was invented. +++




    The Receiving email service can pick up mail from the specified mail account and convert the mail message as if the client independently filled out the form on the site.
    For users, this is an opportunity to use a single mail interface instead of understanding many new options. For the customer - systematization of work with mail flows. +++





     There are so many coupon services that the creators of each new similar project have to come up with new and new refinements in order to somehow differ from their colleagues in the workshop. Recently, we  wrote  about the SMSKupon service  , the authors of which hand in coupons for free and save users from having to print them. The creators of  SohoLife , which will be discussed, did not reinvent the wheel - they just focused on another part of the audience. +++
     
     
     Once in a shopping center, a normal person experiences two conflicting feelings: confusion caused by the number of stores and unfamiliar surroundings, and an irresistible desire to buy everything that clings to the eye. By succumbing to the second, you can partially get rid of the first. Therefore, it is not surprising that we usually return from shopping centers, loaded with unintelligible purchases.
    To save users from an oppressive sense of uncertainty and loss, the creators of  Wizee Shopper created  a mobile application that will orient you in any shopping center, tell you where to find what you need, and also where you will be given a discount on what you need. +++



    As a child, you discovered in yourself two gifts: the ability to write books and the ability to heal with laying on of hands. As you matured, you decided to write a book on how to treat with hands.
    You go to the publisher, agree on the topic and title, provide a synopsis, write the book’s plan for the chapters, write the first chapter to the established deadline, agree on the percentage of sales ...
    ... or you can do this: you go to the website of the Living Books project , post your book there, and watch how your thoughts regarding treatment with hands lay on the face of the reading public. Without intermediaries in the form of a publisher and paper. And the comments on the written appear directly in the book. +++



     
    Like yesterday's Wizee Shopper project ShopPoints is designed to make it easier for buyers and sellers in offline stores to find a common language.
    The main idea of ​​this mobile application is to reward customers with points for visiting the store and the activity shown in it. Points are awarded simply for a physical presence at a point of sale, for scanning a barcode of an interested product and for participating in promotions on a trading floor. You can spend what you earn at your own discretion - to pay your mobile phone bill, purchase certificates and gifts, charity, etc. +++
