| 0:00:15 | Now, let's back up to Czech Republic. Why we are here today and what we |
|---|
| 0:00:20 | will see today? That's Starcube Show, the final presentation of our startups from Starcube acceleration |
|---|
| 0:00:28 | program. I would like to remind you briefly what it is. |
|---|
| 0:00:32 | Starcube is a three months acceleration program that helps people to bring their ideas and |
|---|
| 0:00:39 | come up with the product prototypes that they test on the market. |
|---|
| 0:00:46 | We select, we have, we had seventy projects that applied for Starcube this summer. Seventy |
|---|
| 0:00:53 | projects applied. |
|---|
| 0:00:55 | And we don't have so much space for our startups, so we have to choose |
|---|
| 0:01:00 | just eleven. |
|---|
| 0:01:04 | Eleven projects get to do Starcube program and under the... sorry. And they work with |
|---|
| 0:01:12 | our experts and mentors, and they were challenged every day about their business ideas, business |
|---|
| 0:01:20 | models, about their customers; about pretty much everything. |
|---|
| 0:01:24 | So, at the end, we had to |
|---|
| 0:01:27 | nine teams that made it today. |
|---|
| 0:01:32 | I am not sure if you count quickly, but there are really just nine remaining |
|---|
| 0:01:37 | birds on the wires. |
|---|
| 0:01:39 | Today is going to be about awards as well. |
|---|
| 0:01:43 | So, what we are going to witness? |
|---|
| 0:01:46 | We have three types of awards. |
|---|
| 0:01:49 | The first one is a people's choice. |
|---|
| 0:01:51 | Today you will have the opportunity to vote for your favourite startup. |
|---|
| 0:01:58 | On the badge you get at the registration desk, you have a voting card that |
|---|
| 0:02:02 | you can... that you can use during the break. |
|---|
| 0:02:06 | The second award |
|---|
| 0:02:08 | is based on the journalists' decision. |
|---|
| 0:02:11 | It's from our main sponsor, from our main media sponsor, IHNED.cz. |
|---|
| 0:02:17 | And the first award, the most important one, is based on decision of our jury. |
|---|
| 0:02:22 | That's award for the best startup today. |
|---|
| 0:02:29 | We will start with nine presentations. Nine teams will present, in two minutes each, their |
|---|
| 0:02:35 | project. It will be really quickly, and I hope you really trained the presentations, |
|---|
| 0:02:44 | because there will be no questions and answer panel in these, in this session. |
|---|
| 0:02:50 | Then, |
|---|
| 0:02:51 | we have just five teams. |
|---|
| 0:02:54 | Five teams will be selected by jury that will present in the second stage of |
|---|
| 0:02:59 | our show. |
|---|
| 0:03:00 | So five teams. Each one will have five minutes for presentation of their own project, |
|---|
| 0:03:06 | and five minutes for questions an answer panel with our jury. |
|---|
| 0:03:12 | The jury then will select the one, the only one team that will be awarded |
|---|
| 0:03:17 | as the best startup. |
|---|
| 0:03:18 | Other two teams will be awarded as well, but there is just one winner. |
|---|
| 0:03:25 | We will have coffee breaks |
|---|
| 0:03:27 | during the afternoon. So, after the first session, we have a first coffee break. Then |
|---|
| 0:03:32 | you will see the top five teams presenting their projects, then there will be another |
|---|
| 0:03:37 | coffee break. And at the end of the show today we all will be... you |
|---|
| 0:03:41 | all will be invited for banquet session. |
|---|
| 0:03:47 | So, |
|---|
| 0:03:49 | who is... who will be the winner today, it's up to our jury. |
|---|
| 0:03:53 | So let me briefly introduce you our experts that will today decide who is the |
|---|
| 0:03:59 | best startup. |
|---|
| 0:04:01 | So there is David Booth from TallBoy Investments. |
|---|
| 0:04:13 | The other judge, the second judge is Markus Dettenhofer, a new CEO of CEITEC. |
|---|
| 0:04:26 | And then we have Vincent Vergonjeanne, a founder of Kobojo |
|---|
| 0:04:29 | from France. |
|---|
| 0:04:36 | We have TomaĹĄ Äupr from Slevomat. |
|---|
| 0:04:45 | And from Slovakia, Ivan Debnar, founder of zoznam.sk. |
|---|
| 0:04:56 | So, these are the experts who'll be responsible today for awarding the best startup from |
|---|
| 0:05:02 | this autumn Starcube Show. |
|---|
| 0:05:06 | But before we proceed to presentations, I would like to take this opportunity and thank |
|---|
| 0:05:11 | our sponsors for their support. |
|---|
| 0:05:14 | We have main partners. like Microsoft, PricewaterhouseCoopers and Czech ICT Alliance; that helped us most |
|---|
| 0:05:22 | with their expertise, with their, with financing the program; with pretty much everything. |
|---|
| 0:05:28 | And we also have other great organisations and companies that helped us. So, I would |
|---|
| 0:05:34 | like you to give a really warm, warm applause for these sponsors. |
|---|
| 0:05:49 | Without these guys we wouldn't be here today. |
|---|
| 0:05:54 | But, the last thing I need to |
|---|
| 0:05:57 | say to you is that I want to remind you a few simple rules about |
|---|
| 0:06:02 | this special place. |
|---|
| 0:06:04 | Please silent your cell phones. Fortunately, none of the cell phones was ringing yet or |
|---|
| 0:06:11 | maybe I am hearing-impaired, so I didn't hear any of the cell phones. But silent |
|---|
| 0:06:17 | them, please. No food or beverages inside this room, there will be plenty of space |
|---|
| 0:06:24 | in the foyer. |
|---|
| 0:06:26 | And no smoking in the whole observatory, please. |
|---|
| 0:06:30 | But I encourage you to have a lot of fun, to take this opportunity to |
|---|
| 0:06:37 | meet great people and also to prepare for what's going to happen next. |
|---|
| 0:06:44 | I want you to take a deep breath, |
|---|
| 0:06:47 | to prepare for the presentation. I'm talking now to our startups, not to the audience. |
|---|
| 0:06:53 | Because now, we will jump |
|---|
| 0:06:56 | on the stage. So, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you nine startups that's attended |
|---|
| 0:07:03 | Starcube this autumn, and that will be presenting today. Thank you. |
