Traderion

TRADERION a simulated virtual learning bank powered by an advanced artificial intelligence. We combine technology and gamification to create a platform where the candidates test and learn their knowledge in the same environment in which they will operate. This environment is adapted to the way millenials learn by enabling multiplayer role-playing and the same game mechanics they are familiar with from the most popular online games.

We track and gather data on every interaction the player has with the platform. This data serves for objective behavioral analysis used for feedback and performance prediction. Traderion can help the HR department not just in learning and development, but also in campus recruiting and employer branding.

XVision

XVision uses artificial intelligence algorithms to help radiologists fare better at their everyday tasks.
XVision provides screening-like feedback on radiographies, which is perfect for highly volatile, fast analysis or for patient triage and prioritization.
XVision’s algorithms can go beyond binary results and can get a grasp on what is causing anomalies, providing a radiologist-like interpretation of x-rays.
XVision is designed to output a feedback on a radiography similar to the way a doctor would: it presents the possible conditions, how certain is their presence is, and it clearly highlights the regions they are located in. All this information helps radiologists just like calling-in a fellow doctor would: it challenges them, makes them surer about their interpretation and also speeds up the whole process.

Planable

We change the way agencies plan and collaborate with their clients on social media campaigns.

Planable is a tool that speeds up the way social media campaigns are managed and makes planning, visualizing and approving social media posts easy and fun.

Social media managers need a simple and effective way to collaborate with their clients on social media posts. Today, the standard is to use slides and spreadsheets to plan the posts, chat to collaborate with the team, email to receive feedback and get approval from the client, Buffer or HootSuite to schedule the posts on social media. This process is a waste of valuable time and can damage the relationship with the client.

Our tool works like a live mock-up of the social feed, giving a familiar feel to both clients and social media managers. You can add posts, visualize the posts and how the social media feed will look, invite teammates and clients to collaborate in real time, receive quick feedback right where the posts are and get the posts approved. With Planable the approval workflow is simple and fast. We empower agencies to manage all their clients and social media pages in one single epicenter.

What sets us apart from all other social media management tools is that the agency can visually plan the social media feeds of the client before publishing any posts. It is centralized, collaborative and real-time.

Planable is a big step forward and it will become the norm for social media content collaboration.

FINQware

FINQware is a API middleware platform with a single point of contact (API/SDK) at output available for different interesting companies (businesses – including enterprises, banks and fintechs) with financial data provided by banks and other financial providers. At input we leverage PSD2 APIs from banks, custom data exposure API and product wrapping APIs. The input connections are seen as “skills” and the data is enriched in our infrastructure and then exposed at the output end to tenants that can build frontend applications and services in order to create value it. Creating “skills” from digitalising sales origination processes with financial providers, we are also feeding cross-border financial marketplaces (like digital wallets, online e-commerce businesses) with a new revenue stream from commissions on financial products sales, increasing the distribution coverage of banks and financial providers, through a new channel for acquiring customers.

Flixier

Flixier Pro is an online video editing tool with advanced editing features.
The key components of the product are amazingly fast rendering time that doesn’t require a high end computer, Google Docs collaboration style for video editors and all the actors involved in the process (producers, managers, etc.) and easy access to plenty of cloud storage.
In more detail the main advantages of Flixier are:
Fast Rendering – Flixier Pro can render any video that is up to 60 minutes long in under one minute. It also does rendering in the cloud freeing up your computer for other tasks. The great thing about this is that you don’t need to spend a ton of money on expensive hardware.
Streamlined Collaboration – Getting feedback with Flixier Pro is as easy as clicking a button and sharing a link. People can start adding comments that show up directly in the video editing software. This is amazing because now you only need to render when the video is complete. And rendering is blazing fast, read above.
Flixier Pro users can easily share their assets with colleagues. This is great because until now it was very frustrating to share libraries and projects and keep them in sync. Even more, team members can work together in real time on the same project, just like in Google Docs
Cloud Storage – We remove the need of having to buy expensive storage drives, worry about carrying them around or having to upgrade your computer, just to add a few gigabytes of storage.
For the future we are also thinking to develop and simpler version of Flixier that offers the same key components but which is more accessible for beginner video editors.

SkyHub

SkyHub has been created with the vision to revolutionize the forum technology. Although forums are one of the greatest inventions of the internet, the technology of the forums didn’t adapt to the fundamental new web changes. SkyHub already includes concepts of Artificial Intelligence like personalization to learn the behavior of the users with machine learning and data mining in order to target and feed them with the content they really like and engage on the platform. Besides the fact that SkyHub is a scalable web platform for forums, the most amazing feature is the business model where all the users will get revenue based impact of the content they create. Most of the internet platforms take all the revenue for themselves from online advertising and they never share the profit with the users who actually built these websites so successful and their content. This new web platform allows people to create new kinds of forums where the users get a share from the platform’s revenue based on the users’ activities and the impact of their content. As a user adds more original content, better and hotter, the user gets more revenue. By this way the platform can expand very fast exponentially because most of the people don’t earn any penny in the web and they find this platform as cash cow simply by connecting, engaging, typing and discussing together with others who share the same interests with them. This kind of platform can create many jobs for those who couldn’t be integrated in the real life, but they know how to operate with a computer and how to share their experience and knowledge on the web. Although the forum technology was so successful in the past years, it didn’t evolve in the last decade.

A Romanian startup case study: uberVU – from idea to exit & beyond

This appeared originally on How to Web blog. How to Web (Romania) is one of the biggest tech conference in Central and Eastern Europe.

Back in 2008, Vladimir Co-Founded uberVU, one of the first all-in-one social media services in the world highlighting insights from billions of conversations happening on many social platforms (Facebook, Twitter, blogs, etc). They won Seedcamp in 2008, rapidly turned into the service of choice for thousands of customers around the world, closed two financing rounds and were acquired by Hootsuite in January 2014.

After the acquisition, Vladimir remained with the company as Director of Product, in charge with all Analytics products. During his career, he wore many hats, from product manager to technology chief or marketing guy and he led UberVU through various stages of growth, from the early days to scaling globally, the exit and beyond. Last week, Vladimir shared his story and the lessons learnt along the way with the startups in MVP Academy Batch of 2016. The story of uberVU is an insightful case study for early stage startup founders, and we are happy to share with you the key take-aways of the discussion.

uberVU – the beginnings

Before founding uberVU, Vladimir Oane, Dragos Ilinca and Dan Ciotu had a media agency. Passionate about tech products, they started considering their options to develop their own product. Their first idea was to build their own CMS, and then they decided to make a social media publishing platform.

In 2008, they attended the second edition of The Next Web Conference in Amsterdam in order to connect with relevant people and gather feedback for their idea. One of the first persons they talked to was Robert Scobble, American blogger, technical evangelist and author, a well-known figure on the global tech scene having worked at Microsoft, Fast Company, Rackspace, or Upload VR. His positive feedback motivated them to go forward.

Seedcamp

After attending The Next Web, Vladimir and his Co-Founders took the decision to close the agency and go the product way. Said and done, they applied with their idea and a prototype at Seedcamp in London.

“We submitted our application one day before the deadline (and it was shallow at best). When the guys from Seedcamp called us, we decided to go to London. We pitched our product there and we won. Being in London was an interesting experience, but we did not really grasp what was happening with us. The biggest challenges we faced in the beginning were opening a bank account and finding an apartment to stay in”, Vladimir remembers.

Raising money

They went to London without having a registered company and they incorporated afterwards, donating to the newly founded company the work previously done. Being a London-based company helped them later on in raising money, both from Seedcamp and from Eden Ventures, their second investor. This is because most VC funds invest in companies where they are familiar with the legislation (the reasons are not tax-related, but investment related – legislation in countries such as UK or the Netherlands provide all the required details for the entire process to go on smoothly).

“We initially raised 50k EUR from Seedcamp in mid-2009. After validating the technology and there were signs that we’ve got good chances to make it, we raised a new round from Eden Ventures, a London-based VC fund”, Vladimir explained.
