January Startup Crash Test - Finding Projects

    On January 21, a new crash test season will open at DigitalOctober. WiFixer and Cafenote startups will perform at the January SCT. Recruitment is still open - propose your projects.

    Venue: Moscow, DigitalOctober Center, Bersenevskaya Embankment, 6.
    Registration for the event on the website www.greenfield-project.ru is required.

    Startup Crash Tests traditionally attract the attention of experts in the startup industry, specialists who can strengthen the project team, as well as private and venture investors. For entrepreneurs, this is an opportunity to test the business model of their project, learn valuable lessons from the experience of colleagues and make business contacts.

    Organizers invite startups ready to make themselves known to the professional community.
    • 5-7 young projects will be able to perform in the framework of “pitches” - two-minute performances. This is an opportunity to train a brief presentation in public and interest potential colleagues and partners in your startup. Those wishing to speak - write to sctmoscow@gmail.com .
    • Half-hour “crash tests” are intended for 3-4 projects that are already working, have first sales or a prototype. The project leader or participant makes a 10-minute presentation, after which they answer the questions of the “guru” and the audience, receive expertise, development tips, and points to problem points. If you want to make yourself known, write to the organizers at sctmoscow@gmail.com .

    Together they will tell you about themselves:

    WiFixer ( wifixer.ru , “wireless networks of all countries, connect!” ) Is an ambitious project to create a free global WiFi network. With its help, some will be able to access high-speed wireless Internet not only in cafes and business centers, but others will be able to offer people their access point and make money on it. You can connect to someone’s network for virtual money. Access point owners (“agents”) set the price themselves and can compete with each other.

    To start using WiFixer, just register and install software for Windows 7, Vista or XP. After that, you will see a list of wireless networks registered in the system and you can choose the one that currently suits the price and conditions. Payment for using someone’s network is either per minute or in terms of traffic. When registering, you automatically receive 10,000 virtual money, in the future, the balance can be replenished through electronic payments or bank transfers. The service already has the first users and the first ten registered access points.

    Cafenote ( cafenote.ru , “computer service in a cafe”) - a project that is ready to fix your laptop while you have a snack or have a meeting in a cafe. Masters can be called to the table, all the necessary tools, equipment and accessories are stored in one of the utility rooms. If the repair is not complicated, the laptop will be "brought to life" right on the spot, while you are busy having lunch or talking with colleagues, business partners or just friends. If something serious happened, the device will be taken to the PRbyte service, and you can get it back to the cafe in a day or two.

    Cafenote started working in early December, shortly after the project author voiced the idea at an informal meeting of entrepreneurs #poSEEDelki. Within a few days, a place was found (SQUAT Cafe), hardware was purchased for on-site repairs, and simple advertising was given - in the cafe menu, social networks, etc. Clients did the rest: according to the project team, many people come according to the recommendations of those who have already used the services of the service.

    Also, Alena Vladimirskaya ( Talanting ) will come to us , in order to discuss “office slavery” and free enterprise together with colleagues who have experience selling businesses.

    For those who will not be able to attend in person, as always the live broadcast on the site and its twi-text version (hashtag #sctmoscow ) will always be available .

    Since September 2010, events in the Startup Crash Test format have been held with the support of the StartupIndex investment agency.
