| 0:00:26 | okay, nice big break! Thank you very much for coming here today. My name is |
|---|
| 0:00:31 | Michael and I will be your guide for today |
|---|
| 0:00:34 | me and my colleagues, we work in South Moravian Innovation Centre and we help people |
|---|
| 0:00:38 | to create companies that change the world |
|---|
| 0:00:43 | creating company is always kind of big step to the unknown for most of the |
|---|
| 0:00:47 | teams so it's not always successful |
|---|
| 0:00:50 | when we started Starcube three years ago just two teams finshed the program |
|---|
| 0:00:56 | one year later we get to eight |
|---|
| 0:00:59 | and this year you will see fourteen projects |
|---|
| 0:01:02 | so it's seven times more than in two thousand ten, when we started with the |
|---|
| 0:01:06 | program |
|---|
| 0:01:09 | there are almost two hundred people in audience today, so it's quite tough for, not |
|---|
| 0:01:14 | only for me,sure |
|---|
| 0:01:16 | but also for our startup teams which are sitting here, because for most of them |
|---|
| 0:01:20 | this is the very first time, for most of them, they are presenting in public. |
|---|
| 0:01:26 | So I want you |
|---|
| 0:01:28 | to be kind to them because they might be scared to death, they might forget |
|---|
| 0:01:33 | what they wanted to tell you, they might fall down from this stage because this |
|---|
| 0:01:38 | is kind of unusual place. So please, be supportive. I want you to give big |
|---|
| 0:01:46 | applause to everyone who is climbing up this stairs. So let's try: I will go |
|---|
| 0:01:52 | down and pretend that I am some special successful startup. So I want you to |
|---|
| 0:01:58 | get ready |
|---|
| 0:02:11 | nice, but not good enough. Let's try one more time |
|---|
| 0:02:29 | okay, so keep that in your... keep that in your mi and so be as |
|---|
| 0:02:33 | much supportive for each team who is climbing the stairs or for everyone who is |
|---|
| 0:02:38 | going up |
|---|
| 0:02:40 | so |
|---|
| 0:02:41 | today we are here to also inspire you. Do you want to inspire those people |
|---|
| 0:02:48 | who didn't started any company yet? I think there are some of those people in |
|---|
| 0:02:52 | the audience and we want you to try as much as you can in the |
|---|
| 0:02:58 | future to make your ideas come true |
|---|
| 0:03:03 | for those of you whose knowledge about Starcube might be a little blunt, let me |
|---|
| 0:03:07 | tell you briefly what it is |
|---|
| 0:03:10 | Starcube is a Startup Akcelerator program, first of its kind in Czech Republic. We started |
|---|
| 0:03:16 | three years ago as a student oriented pre-incubation program for much older incubation program of |
|---|
| 0:03:23 | South Moravian Innovation Centre |
|---|
| 0:03:26 | companies in incubation program has a year |
|---|
| 0:03:30 | turnover over one billion czech crowns and we want to make it higher with teams |
|---|
| 0:03:37 | who are here in Starcube |
|---|
| 0:03:40 | during the last three years we have come a long way. We established a lot |
|---|
| 0:03:44 | of interesting partnerships with companies and organisations and we also gained a lot of experience |
|---|
| 0:03:50 | thanks to our mentors and lectures who helped us a lot |
|---|
| 0:03:54 | our alumni such as GINA CUPtech Celebrio or Universator achieved a lot of interesting international |
|---|
| 0:04:03 | awards |
|---|
| 0:04:07 | we change a name and we also change the scheme of the program but what |
|---|
| 0:04:12 | is the same all the time is a focus |
|---|
| 0:04:16 | focus on people |
|---|
| 0:04:18 | extraordinary people with the passion for their ideas |
|---|
| 0:04:22 | and today you will see what can passionate people do in a three months |
|---|
| 0:04:29 | you cannot ask father who is his favourite kid, so I cannot be the judge |
|---|
| 0:04:34 | for today. So I invited people who will be judges for today and who will |
|---|
| 0:04:42 | decide this height who is the better one and who is not |
|---|
| 0:04:46 | so let me introduce you our court of experts |
|---|
| 0:04:53 | from my left to right: I cannot see... yeah, JD from Meebee; than Jiri Krechl |
|---|
| 0:04:59 | from Czechinvest |
|---|
| 0:05:02 | Sandra Kumorowski from Chicago |
|---|
| 0:05:06 | Stanislav Kopecek from PwC, Price Waterhouse Coopers; Jan Tauber from Genesis Capital |
|---|
| 0:05:15 | we wouldn't be here without some financial support, of course. Fundraising is also quite tough |
|---|
| 0:05:22 | thing, so we tried a lot of stuff |
|---|
| 0:05:28 | we also asked for public money |
|---|
| 0:05:31 | and sometimes we were successful |
|---|
| 0:05:34 | so those are our partners who gave us support, not only money, but their time, |
|---|
| 0:05:39 | their effort to... for our teams to get better. So I want you to give |
|---|
| 0:05:45 | nice applause also for these people because without their support we wouldnt't be here today |
|---|
| 0:06:02 | also important was European Union, actually, who really supported us. So, this particular event is |
|---|
| 0:06:09 | paid by European Union. So please, once more |
|---|
| 0:06:22 | so, I do the job |
|---|
| 0:06:26 | today we will see fourteen projects |
|---|
| 0:06:28 | fourteen two minute presentations from our teams |
|---|
| 0:06:32 | there will be no questions and answer panel during this stage, so listen carefully, because |
|---|
| 0:06:38 | in the other part of the day or during the break you will be voting |
|---|
| 0:06:43 | for your most favourite team |
|---|
| 0:06:48 | these will be two minutes presentations, two minutes sharp. So, if someone runs out of |
|---|
| 0:06:53 | time the team will be stopped |
|---|
| 0:06:58 | during the break, which will take fourty five minutes, our board of experts will decide |
|---|
| 0:07:04 | who is in the top five |
|---|
| 0:07:07 | and also, you can vote for your favourite team. There will be also small award |
|---|
| 0:07:12 | for one, someone, who gives his vote, or her vote, for |
|---|
| 0:07:20 | so, after the break, there will be top five. We will have five presentations by |
|---|
| 0:07:26 | five minutes and each presentation after five minutes will have ten minutes for questions and |
|---|
| 0:07:31 | answers panel with our jury |
|---|
| 0:07:35 | then there will be another break, shorter one, to decide who is number one, two |
|---|
| 0:07:39 | and three |
|---|
| 0:07:42 | so, there will be awarding ceremony. But before that, we'll show you some success stories |
|---|
| 0:07:47 | about former successful startups from Starcube |
|---|
| 0:07:53 | so, awarding ceremony and then networking event. I hope you will stay because there are |
|---|
| 0:08:00 | a lot of interesting people right here: marketers, developers, metrocapitalists, business angels. So, network as |
|---|
| 0:08:08 | much as you can, because this is the place where our startups gathered today |
|---|
| 0:08:16 | before we proceed to the presentations from our teams, let me remind you a few |
|---|
| 0:08:20 | rules about this... how we can behave, or we have to behave in this special |
|---|
| 0:08:26 | place. So, no cell phones, please. I can see a lot of you have running |
|---|
| 0:08:31 | your laptops or cell phones. If there is this light open, or if this light |
|---|
| 0:08:39 | shines, it's quite okay if you have open laptop. But when the light goes dark, |
|---|
| 0:08:45 | you are illuminating the place and people cannot see the canvas so much |
|---|
| 0:08:53 | so, also no food or drinks inside, actually in this place, but outside is okay |
|---|
| 0:09:00 | and no smoking for smokers no smoking even on the terrace. So, in the evening, |
|---|
| 0:09:05 | please, if you need to go for smoking, there is some kinder playground down in |
|---|
| 0:09:10 | the park |
|---|
| 0:09:12 | you can try there |
|---|
| 0:09:17 | and also, there are two doors. Use it as the aerochambers. I don't know if |
|---|
| 0:09:23 | you watch science fiction movies, so small instruction. If there is aerochamber, you have to |
|---|
| 0:09:28 | open one door, step inside, close the door and then open the second door and |
|---|
| 0:09:34 | go outside |
|---|
| 0:09:36 | because, if you open the door totally, first and second, there will be also light |
|---|
| 0:09:41 | coming inside |
|---|
| 0:09:42 | so, use it as the aerochamber |
|---|
| 0:09:45 | and don't forget |
|---|
| 0:09:55 | it was just as the reminder; don't forget to give applause for every team who |
|---|
| 0:10:00 | is going upstairs |
|---|
| 0:10:02 | so, ladies and gentleman |
|---|
| 0:10:04 | new stars will shine on the startup sky today. Let me introduce you |
|---|
