Key figuresStructuring a community of investors and entrepreneurs

Today, more than 200 companies have ap-plied to PwC’s Accelerator programmes. Six are in acceleration at PwC’s Accelerator. In their quest in becoming global, these compa-

nies are in need of a mix of corporate restruc-turing, executive management recruitment, significant fundraising, logistics assistance in going global, ... As fundraising is an inte-gral part of the acceleration process, we have started to actively discuss each of their fun-draising needs with investors. We have also signed 20+ membership agreements for companies in the phase of preparation for

acceleration. These companies are in an ear-lier stage of expansion and mainly require coaching and assistance in various fields like recruitment, building a strong sales pipeline, validating their business plan... This prepa-ration is systematically being coordinated by the PwC’s Accelerator team. Members who need it can also benefit from our hou-

sing offer in our Vertigo building. This gives them the added bene-fit of meeting and mingling with other PwC’s Accele-rator commu-nity members. Overall, the creation of a c o m m u n i t y dedicated to high-tech is gaining pace thanks to

concrete and positive contacts between all stakeholders, including corporate inves-tors, service providers and universities. As of today, the PwC’s Accelerator community counts more than 50 corporate members, an integral part of our ecosystem, and around ten experienced entrepreneurs. We have also started to build a network of top-tier inves-tors spanning across the globe.

Results of the 1st “Local to Global” Expo” held on 27.03.2012:

The first “Local to Global” Expo, which presented 25 fast-growing companies from Europe, Russia and the US to 150 potential investors, was held on 27 March 2012, during the official Opening Day of PwC’s Accelerator, and was met with approval from all sides:

• 80% of the pitched companies were able to establish business contacts;

• 40% initiated formal contacts with poten-tial investors;

• The effectiveness of the event format was praised by 100% of the responders.

First Community events

02.05.12 | Discussion with an accomplished Silicon Valley Venture Capitalist: Dr.Ossama Hassanein

Dr.Hassanein is an entrepreneur, men-tor, and venture capitalist. Over the last 35 years, he has managed over US$1 billion of international tech-nology funds in diverse leadership roles including EVP

of Berkeley International in San Francisco, Chairman of Technocom Ventures in Paris, President of Newbridge Networks Holding in Canada, and Chairman of the Rising Tide Fund in Silicon Valley. Currently, he is chair-man of BDNA Corp in Mountain View, of Echovox in Geneva, and Zong in Menlo Park, California.

On 2 May 2012, Dr. Hassanein sat down with Alexandre Rhea, the CEO of PwC’s Accelera-

tor for an hour long discussion that was sha-red with PwC’s Accelerator community. The main themes were: 1. European/US differences; 2. Lessons learned for entrepreneurs; and 3. Silicon Valley Trends.

Here is an extract from the discussion about entrepreneurship:

Dr. Hassanein stated: “I love the European entrepreneurs that I met and supported, just as much as I loved their Canadian coun-terparts.” He often wished they would be “more aggressive”. What seems to be lacking in Europe is the vibrancy of the ecosystem that US entrepreneurs enjoy in Silicon Val-ley, and increasingly now in Los Angeles and New York. He encouraged European entre-preneurs to go through an “acceleration” programme, such as offered by PwC: “Take a leave in Silicon Valley, enshrine the faith of entrepreneurship within, and become im-bued with the values you aspire to live by”. He used an analogy of a “believer” underta-king pilgrimage to Jerusalem or Mecca. It is not essential, but could be most inspiring!

26.07.12 | the reasons to go global, by Carlos Ramon

About Carlos Ramón:

Ramón is today a recognised business consul-tant helping high tech companies build their foundations in beco-ming global players. His successes over 20+ years of expe-rience of working in an executive role or as an advisory board member for renow-ned global techno-logy companies, gives him unique insight on trends in globali-sation. Examples of these companies include: PeopleSoft, Aka-mai Technologies, Silver Spring Networks and Ooyala.

Becoming a global company regardless of your size should not be a choice but an obli-gation. The reasons for this are threefold:

1. Maximise Shareholder Value- As a CEO of any company, regardless of its sharehol-der composition, your main responsibility

is to maximise share-holder value.

2. Know your com-petition- As the world has become flat, inter-national presence is the best way to keep your competition in check.

3. Recruiting the best talent- Having

international presence and embracing international perspectives is the best way to convince new hires of your company’s international angle.

Investing in relationships

ICT Corporate Members

First visit to Silicon Valley with companies in acceleration in June

Companies brought to Silicon Valley: E-Dynamics (Morf Media), LuxCloud, Spallian.

Besides the opportunity to pitch together with 25 other US companies in front of 80+ investment and corporate funds, our com-panies in acceleration had the opportunity to meet on one-to-one top tier Silicon Valley Venture Capital funds, multinational Corpo-rate potential partners and Reputable Entre-preneurs. The exercise was most successful as they did create solid contacts with both potential investors and business partners. As Renaud Prouveur, CEO of Spallian, said on his way back to Europe, “What they did in three days would have taken 18 months in Europe”!

This journey was also the opportunity for PwC’s Accelerator to confirm the appropria-teness of our market positioning and targe-ting.

Promoting our services within the Greater region and ICT Community

The Greater Region Business Days - promoting B2B services

PwC’s Accelerator kicked off the month of June with a two-day event, the Greater Region Business Days on 13-14 June. We had the opportunity to introduce ourselves and network with many businesses, service providers and entrepreneurs in the Greater Region. The event brought together key players from the three neighbouring countries, notably high level political and economic representatives to share the latest economic developments of the Greater Region.

The UNconvention - bringing together some of the most innovative young Europeans

The UNconvention was held in Brussels on 26-27 June and focused on bringing together some of the most innovative young Europeans. Organised by the European Young Innovators Forum with the support of the President of the European Parliament, the event was held in a very interactive, informal and unconventional format to allow for ideas to flow. PwC’s Innovation and R&D Leader and founder of PwC’s Accelerator, Laurent Probst, gave an empowering presentation on the role of Innovation in Europe that was midely praised, evidenced by the number of one-to-one meetings he held following his speech.

ICT Spring Welcome Event-Hosting International ICT companies

On the day prior to the ICT Spring, PwC’s Accelerator was invited by ICT organisers to host a welcome event for 30+ guests of the ICT industry. Stemming mainly from South Korea, Japan and France the guests followed a programme organised by PwC’s Accelerator that allowed them to visit LuxConnect datacenter in Bettembourg, as well as the Vansken and Kabam offices. Moreover, the guests visited PwC’s Accelerator premises at Vertigo. The serial entrepreneur Jean-Claude Bintz (Lakehouse) and Robert Dennewald (President at Fedil) welcomed them with a speech on entrepreneurship in Europe.

ICT Spring Europe - meeting with the most talented Luxembourgish and international specialists

The third Annual ICT Spring Europe, which took place on 19-20 June, drew more than 3,500 visitors from all over the world and 150 international companies. Of these companies, four are programmed to pitch at our “Local to Global” Expo on 27 September. These companies focus on

different market segments such as Digital Life, Smart technologies and Cloud services. PwC’s Accelerator had a strong presence, from a speech given to ICT Spring attendees entitled “From Local Market Traction to Global Leadership” to the participation in a round-table around “Entrepreneurship for Innovation”. The result left our booth was buzzing with activity. This was evidenced by the multitudes of visitors interested in learning more on our one-stop shop.

Opening-up to future Entrepreneurs

PwC’s Accelerator hosts Entrepreneurship Workshop for Students

BGL BNP Paribas launched an innovative Social Business called «Lux Future Lab». The idea was born to create a «Summer School» for High School Students with the following objective: to inspire students to think about their future and encourage them to open up to various perspectives. In essence, motivate them to become dynamic actors of their own future by building two main qualities: a grasp of entrepreneurship and innovation.

We organised a full day workshop on entrepreneurship and shared with these future business leaders what is needed to take initiative and start a business. We were very impressed by the high level of organisation and creativity that was being displayed by the students.“You meet a real entrepreneur’s

need that was not covered before”“Your team really makes us want to work with you”

“We can read your enthusiasm in your eyes”

Short Resume / Description

SENSIMED AG is a Swiss company with its principal focus on the design, development, and commercialization ofintegrated micro-systems for medical devices. The SENSIMED Triggerfish® is a revolutionary solution for 24-hour continuous monitoring of fluctuations in intra-ocular pressure to manage glaucoma patients.

Contact:Jean-Marc Wismer, CEO

[email protected]

+41 7 86 36 29 51

Funding:€ 13M-17M the next 6 months

Revenue forecast:€ 21M in 2014

Reach profitability:No info

Management team:Jean-Marc Wismer, CEO

TechnologyThe SENSIMED Triggerfish consists of a soft contact lens incorporating a patented MEMS sensor and a telemetric system which receives power from and sends information to an adhesive loop antenna that the patient is wearing around the eye, which then stores information in a portable recorder.

Problem SolvingGlaucoma is an asymptomatic, progressive and irreversible disease which leads to blindness unless adequate treatment is provided early on. Glaucoma affects about 4% of the population over 40 years of age and is steadily increasing with age. IOP (Intra-Ocular Pressure) peaks are frequently not detected delaying the diagnosis of glaucoma and leaving many patients under inadequate treatment and thus progressing towards blindness.

The SENSIMED Triggerfish, at the convergence between device, drugs and information, is a paradigm-changing, non-invasive solution for continuous 24-hour monitoring of fluctuations in IOP to aid the diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma. Both the antenna and the lens do not interfere with normal vision; they are disposables, placed and removed by an ophthalmologist. The recorder is owned by the ophthalmologist. Patients will get 24-hour monitoring sessions anywhere between once or several times a year depending on the rate of progression of the disease.

Market validationSince restricted commercial launch in 2011, the product has enjoyed tremendous acceptance by key opinion global leaders. Initial targeted commercialisation has generated over CHF 1M with limited sales efforts, showing an increasing rate of repeat purchase of the disposable sensors.

Competitive AdvantageNo device is currently able to provide ophthalmologists with the 24-hour profile of intraocular pressure fluctuations they need to make the right diagnosis and to adapt treatment to individuals and to changing conditions. The current state-of-the-art device is a succession of singlemeasurements which itself creates changes in IOP. Thus a continuous monitoring device like the SENSIMED Triggerfish addresses a major unmet need in the field and as such has raised the greatest interest of the most renowned professionals. A study indicates that doctors have changed treatment in 79% of the cases when such 24-hour continuous information, even though performed manually, was available.

Why invest?The SENSIMED Triggerfish is not a marginal improvement but a true paradigm shift just like the Holter device revolutionised heart monitoring a decade ago. There is a clear, large and growing unmet medical need which costs large amounts to society and leads millions to blindness. The solution is proven, fully industrialised, commercialised, and years ahead of competition. The technology relies on a solid platform and enjoys strong patent and trade secret protection. The company is led by an experienced management team with a solid track record. A lucrative exit is expected in a horizon of two-three years. The company expects to generate revenues in excess of $200m on the fifth year, with an annual growth rate of 25%.

Everyday, millions of people inspect surfaces subjectively by eyes, because no others solutions are available.We provide breakthrough, exclusive and patented, non destructive surface quality inspection solutions to replace subjective visual inspection allowing a betterunderstanding and improved quality.

Management team:Yves Surrel, R&D Manager

TechnologyOver several years, VISUOL Technologies has developed a complete range of innovative industrial systems for surface quality inspection based on phase-stepped deflectometry. The technology is insensitive to parasitic ambient light and vibrations meaning it directly measures surface minute shape defects.

Problem SolvingThe detection of surface defects (shape deviations, waviness, roughness, aesthetic defects, etc.) is a major concern in many industrial applications. Today, controls often rely on operators who perform visual inspection or finger-tip checks. Such controls are costly and suffer from a lack of repeatability because of their subjectivity. Our metrology systems are especially suitable to render these controls automatic. They allow fast, objective, full-field whilst non-contact surface inspection to replace subjective evaluation and consequently can save millions of Euros to the manufacturing industry.

Market validationOur products are referenced by more than 60 major key accounts, such as Daimler who have acquired an equipment to improve the production process of composite SMC decklids of Mercedes car volume production. Our products are used to check the surface of Boeing Dreamliner fuselage and AIRBUS aircraft paint quality, to improve the process production of the new LEAP turbofan engine from SAFRAN and GE.It is also used to improve the quality of medical implants from Aesculap B-Braun, for which we received the First Prize for Innovation from 3 of the worldwide Big-7 orthopedics suppliers (Implants 2012).Our POLISMART Project for Intelligent Polishing has just been approved to be sponsored by the French Ministry of industry.

Competitive AdvantageVisuol Technologies provide the only available solution to objectively control large, reflective, surfaces replacing subjective visual inspection.The state-of-the-art contactless measuring solution combining simplicity, robustness and performance puts us ahead of competition.

Why invest?Years of intensive R&D led the development of an exclusive/unique products line; allowing a strategic response to the market need for quality control of manufactured goods, while reducing production costs.This need has been confirmed by more than 60 references in large companies.In front of this multisectorial demand, we provide the only solutionsfrom portable to in-line application. The ultimate challenge is to organise our company so as to become the worldwide leader in surface quality control.

SIO4 is a platform of intermediation between suppliers and customers allowing to collect orders of payment by SEPADirect, Debit and by Credit Cards, not limited to the treatment of “one shot “collections. It administers the return of outstanding payments to renew automatically the attempts of collection without any manual intervention, this until the complete execution of the orders of the supplier. It allows creating several means of payment by customer, with hierarchical organization of the priorities of use, and innovative techniques based on statistics to optimize the chances of collection.

TechnologyIn every attempt of execution, SIO4 generates a banking deal by card or by SDD and informs the supplier of the success or failure about the operation. In case of failure, it changes automatically means of payment or/and by splitting the amount of the order, until complete collection.

Problem SolvingRecovering tasks is the problem of every company, whatever the size and the activity. With SIO4, companies are able to receive payments from your customers without even having to claim. Stop losing your time in recovery, and spend it for developing your activities.

Market validationOLKYPAY is now using SIO4 platform for about 3 000 transactions amonth, for the website www.scootlib.com and it works! This is a typical case of a company which could not perform without SIO4: with hundreds of customers renting scooters from 3 to 23 months, it would need tens of accountants to manage payment orders each day. Only one person is needed to work instead with the SIO4 platform! There is no need to generate payment orders and no need to claim unpaid money. SIO4 performs it alone and greatly reduces the default rate (less than 5% with a majority of student customers).Demand is coming out of various sectors as national centrals purchasing, franchisors, international companies or websites and still growing.

Competitive Advantage• Automatic dichotomy: SIO4 reduces the par nominal value to

increase the chances to collect at least a fraction of the amount. • Automatic recurrence: as long as order is not totally executed,

SIO4 repeats attempts of collection.The association of these principles & the plurality of the means of payment increase in significant proportions the chances of collection of the orders of the supplier.

Why invest?To keep the first mover advantage and reduce time to market! We need funding for R&D, marketing & communication, human resources, and to optimize the regulatory aspects specificities of each country. It could be developed first in France and in the BENELUX, and in a later stageacross whole Europe. Funding is needed to meet the demand of potential customers already interested in SIO4.

Funding:USD 3M-5M in the next 3 months

Revenue:USD 500K revenues in 2011


Management team:Jean-Claude Petter, ChairmanKimberly Till, Acting CEORobert Fong, Founder, COO/CTO

TechnologyMORF Media is a pioneer in advanced 3D game engine development, natural language processing, and artificial intelligence. The company has developed a highly optimised, high-quality 3D game engine that deploys scalable virtual worlds with social games onto a small footprint, thin web client for all major web browsers, phones, tablets, and consoles. The company has two product lines: casual social games for the general public and gamification solutions for corporate brands. The company leverages a wide variety of game mechanics and game play on top of its gaming platform for both sets of products.

Problem SolvingThe competition for audience attention on the web and mobile devices increases daily. These days, without the appropriate engagement platform, it is extremely difficult to catch the attention of a casual visitor, much less turn him/ her into a purchaser or a loyal fan. Brands are looking for new and more effective ways to engage casual gamers and consumers in general. The future of online and mobile user engagement, advertising and branding is moving towards “gamification” – a strategy that utilises game design and game mechanics to make non-game applications morefun, appealing, and engaging to a target audience. MORF Media has developed a truly innovative and advanced gamification platform utilising dynamic 3D virtual worlds and social games to radically improve user metrics, stickiness, awareness, and purchasing.

Market ValidationThe gamification market is new and rapidly growing with expected revenues of USD 2.8 bn by 2016. MORF Media plays in the high-end of this market with the virtual game worlds it creates for blue chip companies and brands. The company builds, operates, and maintains virtual social game worlds. It receives revenue for the design of the worlds and for the on-going operation and maintenance of the worlds on a monthly basis. The company has completed several corporate worlds and has an attractive pipeline of potential clients. The company has also developed its own 3D virtual social game world, MojiKan, which currently has 230,000 beta users. Virtual currency sales will be the primary source of revenue.

Management team:Mats Grahn, CEO

Prof. Carl Borrebaeck, Lead founder

TechnologyA unique protein array technology capable of finding patterns of biomarkers in blood to detect disease states with high accuracy. Immunovia’s technology is generally applicable for clinical needs where no solutions exist today since it measures changes in the body’s own immune system.

Problem SolvingImmunovia is capable of diagnosing cancer indications, based on minimally invasive blood tests, with high confidence during disease development and progression. Pancreatic cancer is today detected too late and a 5 year survival rate is less than 3 percent. Early detection would mean increased survival rates in the range of 50%.Immunovia’stest can be used to screen high risk groups for early detection. An additional clinical issue is the need to distinguish pancreatic cancer from different inflammations and Immunovia’s test is capable ofaddressing this issue as well.

Market validationThe products have been validated using patient samples from cross national sources. Next step is clinical trials and registration processes required to release and market in vitro diagnostic tests.

Competitive AdvantageWe provide diagnostic answers, based on simple blood tests, to clinical problems where no solutions exist today. The difference to patients is a matter of increased survival. The difference to society is improved health economics.

Why invest?WHO estimates that 30% of all cancers can be cured, if diagnosed early. Immunovia believes it can offer such possibilities. Our lead product for early and accurate detection of pancreatic cancer is ready for regulatory trials and commersialisation. Additionally, a steady flow of new tests into Immunovia’s pipeline is ensured and financed through partnership with the CreateHealth Translational Cancer Centre.

TechnologyOur crime mapping software CORTO® is designed to gather and combine several databases to produce cartographical and statistical analysis at a local, national or world level.

Problem SolvingMany police forces, major cities and even private companies are facing challenges when it comes to making decisions. Part of this difficulty arises from an absence of a centralisation of information due to multiple databases and poor analysis tools. Our software undertakes to eradicate these challenges by providing a system able to combine several databases of different formats, generating a powerful geographic business intelligence tool allowing the user to access data through a visual and ergonomic mapping interface.

Market validationOur solution has been installed at the French customs department, French Intelligence department, and in several French cities. In addition, the Ministry of Interior will also be launching a public tender for the software soon. The company has a proven track record, being able to cite significant references such as Interpol, Orange, Samsung and SDS, to name a few.

Competitive AdvantageOur software has various technical edges. We are the only company that has developed a comprehensive and global solution, from the mapping engine to the cartographical and statistical restitution. This firstly ensures data security as there is no need for an external mapping engine i.e ‘Google’, and also provides an independency from other software providers. Another competitive edge comes through the speed and volume of data that can be processed within our software system, allowing for the analysis of large scales contracts (both on a national and international level). Our other software developments ensure the entire management of a security information system; right through from the recording and analysis of data, to the access of key performance indicators on a mobile device. Unlike Business Analytic software offered by large IT vendors (i.e. Oracle, IBM, SAS, SAP, etc.) the software created by the Company is easy to roll-out and does not require specialist staff to operate. Crucially, we believe, one of our main competitive advantages is our impressive Board of Directors which includes a former president of Interpol and a former Director of the World Customs Organisation.

Why invest?We have a developed product, short term leads and a wide market with identified needs. The software simultaneously addresses two global markets that have attracted considerable investments in the past and will continue to see strong growth: namely, the Business Analyticsmarket and, the Geographic Information Systems market. Investments would mainly be dedicated to capitalising on our competitive advantage to widen our deployment/sales to an international level and to finance the next generation of the current software.

Management team:Scott Larson, President

George Tyc, CTO

Serguei Bedziouk, Vice President, Russian Operations

Alfred Law, Vice President, International Business

TechnologyThe technology is based around two cameras: A Medium Resolution Camera (MRC) used to generate imagery of the Earth and a High Resolution Camera (HRC) that is used to take videos of the Earth. To get the data to the ground, UrtheCast uses a high-speed data downlink that has also recently been installed on the ISS Russian Segment by Energia. The data rate of this data downlink is 100 Mbps, which will be received by ground stations located around the world. Once on the ground, the data is sent to UrtheCast's processing centre where it is processed and the image and video files are moved to the cloud-based archive so that all data can be sent immediately to UrtheCast web platform.

Problem SolvingRather than directly addressing a problem, the UrtheCast platform will provide a new opportunity to view the world to its client and user base. UrtheCast will be the world’s first high-definition streaming video ofplanet Earth. The application possibilities of the data created from its operations are endless.

Market validationUrtheCast is currently pre-revenue, but has plans to sell its data globally. To date UrtheCast has letters of intent totalling over $100M,from data resellers in regions including the USA, China, Taiwan, Japan, Africa, Latin America and Russia. Revenue is expected to start being generated by mid 2013, from these letters of interest.

Competitive AdvantageThe social platform that UrtheCast is building has the “blue ocean” possibility to create an entirely new market and revenue stream. It will combine a consumer-centric website, mobile application for smartphones, and an open Application Program Interface (API). It will allow people to experience events unfolding around the world in a new and highly engaging way. The web platform will have the following elements:

A "GoogleEarth" like interface (image data fresh and updated constantly, enabling you to see the changes over time)

A "YouTube" like experience that shows videos tagged to geographic locations

A real-time social layer added to generate wide consumer interest (website will integrate with popular social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter)

An open API allowing developers to use UrtheCast’s data to create applications ("apps") for mobile devices.

Why invest?The ability for investors to put their money into an industry with large profit margins, and few players, is very unique. This rare opportunity that UrtheCast has opened for its stakeholders has caused the best and brightest minds within the space and business world to join us. A robust management team and board of directors with vast capital markets, business development, technology, and space engineering backgrounds has helped to provide major credibility and media attention to the project, as well as help de-risk the investment for investors.

Luxembourg


In-edit is specialised in developing, integrating and maintaining innovative software packages related to documents and publications, editing and publishing. The company is currently proposing two major solutions: PubliFlow® dedicated to reliable automated recurrent document generation and personalisation and Camele’on®, for highly structured documents/ publications generation and personalisation.

Contact:Patrick Hein, CEO

[email protected]

+ 352 691 580 470

Funding:€ 1.4M the next 6 months



Management team:Patrick Hein, CEO

Francisco Moreira, CTO

TechnologyPubliFlow® and Camele’on® are software packages developed in java. Besides the architecture client/server/ database, platforms were developed in order to be able to take into account any client’s needs and specificities, including operational (workflow) and skill related needs. In order to be connected and fully integrated to any open platform, our software packages are built up for any incoming and outgoing dataflow with any other parallel data warehouse.

Problem SolvingThe in-edit business case rests on the need, for companies and institutions, to not only consistently improve accuracy and speed for the documents and publications they edit, but also to empower the impact of the material they address to their public/clients. The current software packages used to treat documents and publications are not adapted to answer these needs. All actual tools always required high specific technical skills which do not allow employees to fully use their knowledge, expertise and strategies. With PubliFlow® and Camele’on®, in-edit is developing a series of IT tools and consulting services for the generation, personalisation and management of recurring and highly structured publications / documents that arehighly customised as part of a multi-channel and multilingual communication. The level of integration combined with the capacity of customisation of the solution for the company’s effective needs in terms of business specificities as well as employees’ skills and rolls to be empowered is uncomparable to any actual solution on the market.

Market validationIn-edit has gained four significant clients in Luxembourg, including utilities companies, institutions and one client in the financial services.Most competitors are ERP companies which offer publishing modulesconnected to their tools. These modules are very limited in terms of functionalities, layouting flexibility, generation speed, data controls and have almost no personalisation possibilities. In-edit’s solutions appear to be much more adapted to current and future edition requirements.

Competitive AdvantageIn-edit’s platforms are software packages enabling all kind of integration and interaction with parallel technologies while current software solutions on the market are also much more limited in this area. Our solutions are to directly implement In-edit on our client’s technologic environment which highly limits the risk of outsourcing sensitive data related to their clients. The ROI is fast and effective.

Why invest?Invest in order to enable in-edit’s offices development in France, England, and Germany. Each local office would have its own sales forceas well as trained IT staff allowing local business analysis and software package implementation. In parallel, partnerships are in the process of being developed working to enlarge in-edit’s sales and deployment abilities.

TechnologyThe technology exists out of three phases; firstly there is the capture of the sales visit data in < 1 minute in the field via either a native app or SMS. Secondly there is the reception and management of the data in the cloud. In a third phase the data is analysed and presented based on frameworks derived out of the 9.5 million records of historical data.

Problem SolvingField sales are key to many businesses and are often one of the main costs/investments. i-snapshot collects field sales behaviour data in less than a minute, compared to Customer Relationship Management (CRM) where it typically takes 10 minutes. This helps i-snapshot achieve 95% compliance compared to 50% for CRM. I-snapshot focuseson quantitative behavioural data which allows the identification of the financial impact of each field of behaviour and so creates the visibility to replicate the optimum behaviour through the team. i-snapshot hasachieved a minimum increase in productivity of a sales team of 19% in 6 months.

Market validationServest (Facilities Management- South Africa) used i-snapshot to gain visibility of the team’s performance, they were achieving very high activity levels but they were not focused on the right target or the right level of decision maker. By using i-snapshot data the Company identified key target industry segments with a minimum level/grade of contact inside the prospect; as the team moved to this focused approach there was a reduction in the overall activity target. Results;

The Company doubled sales in the first 6 months and by month 8 they reached 120% of the initial target.

The increase in sales was achieved with 10% less field sales staff. The top 10% of the sales team tripled earnings.

Competitive Advantage Proven and reproducible 19% increase in field sales productivity

with over 95% compliance. A field collection mechanism that allows the salesperson to

record the visit in less than one minute on any phone and any network

Real time analysis and reporting. A unique quantitative framework for sales management derived

from the 9,5 million field visits and on-going benchmarking coupled to an online reporting site.

Why invest?i-snapshot is willing to multiply its actual turnover by five. i-snapshot is willing to expand their business more internationally to more countries and to recruit more staff to achieve their goals. Investing in i-snapshot is investing in a fast growing business with bright perspectives.

Trading GmbHPlanckstr. 3147877 Willich

Germany


SuperStand is a worldwide platform enabling foreign investors coming to tradeshows to optimise their participation through an increase in sales combined with a reduction in exhibition costs.

With a proven winning strategy, in the near future, SuperStand plans to replicate the same concept to all companies wanting to expand abroad.

Contact:Philippe Jordan, CEO

[email protected]

+49 2154 937 39 94

Funding:€500k-1.5M the next 6 months



TechnologySuperStand is a smart search engine with a propriety algorithm enabling investors to find matching contractors, once criteria have been defined, so as to optimise their stand budget at tradeshows, for which SuperStand is a particularly useful tool.

Problem SolvingMany of the problems surrounding tradeshows and general standoptimisation arise as a direct result of a lack of harmony between contractors and exhibitions.The goal of SuperStand is to identify these contractors that match the requirements of the exhibitor and vice versa. The smart search engine offers filtering capabilities ensuring efficient dealings are had between different parties involved. For example, through the search engine, contractors can be filtered according to their location: thus reducing any transport or accommodation costs which may have previously been incurred. They could further be filtered by language: allowing an ease of communication parties, and can even be filtered with reference to their financial stability, or through customer reviews/ratings. With the vastness of people that may be present in one show or at one particular event, the idea, and possibility for maximum exposure by leveraging from the search engine, directly through other exhibitors, provides a useful mechanism for both contractors and exhibitors alike.

Market validationOur product is currently working successfully in the market place SuperStand has a 40 strong client based in Europe and in North America, and has a registered contractor base of over 250. With half of these contractors registering within the last three months, the relevance, and growth potential of SuperStand is highly present. Since creation, SuperStand has had positive results from its smart technology. One such example being Exhibitor Tri Hawk (Canada) who after registering with the SuperStand received 3 offers from French stand contractors who matched the criteria for which they were looking.

Competitive AdvantageSuperStand is the largest and most complete database of exhibitor lists and stand contractors in the world. It is the only portal that addressesthe needs of both the contractors and exhibitors; be it finding new and promising exhibitors or optimising tradeshow participation for a given budget. This not only gives us an exclusive market edge, but also gives us a unique viewpoint into designing solutions to better aid the trade business.

Why invest?SuperStand is already well established. 5 proven profit centres currently exist under SuperStand, with the company as a whole breaking even on revenues. This proven history and its market dominance, show that the concept of SuperStand is a winning one, which now merely needs to be duplicated. SuperStand plans to achieve this with the creation of a new sales team for both the EMEA and NA (world class cold callers outsourced in low-cost countries), as well as plans to release a new improved, more efficient website.

Technologyregify is a comprehensive SaaS (Software as a Service) solution that works without any additional software, hardware or certificates.Our software enables the only network solution for trusted and binding e-mail communication and digital post. regify will support your business with registered and certified communication by e-mail.

Problem Solvingregify products will help solving problem regarding:

confidentiality of communication exchanged by a channel like classic email systems

traceability and auditability of all important business communication of the transaction history.

It will also allow savings (75% reduction when compared with paper), high productivity with easy control over the transactions, as well asimproved internal processes because of its convenient integration on any device and its flexible easy use across departments. Furthermore regify products are legally compliant with data privacy laws and EU directives.

Market validationToday, regify has 25 regify providers who offer and operate the regify services. Large end users can themselves become (corporate) regify providers. One example is Fiducia, the IT provider of 750 Volksbanken with a total of approximately 10,000 branches in Germany. 250 of these Volksbanken use regify services for the b2b communication between a bank's financial advisor and its corporate clients. Any form of confidential and relevant business communication can be performed with regify (e.g. extension of credit line) based on the ordinary, already existing e-mail system.

Competitive AdvantageOur 3 layer architecture system (user-provider-clearing) interacts with each other online giving us a particular competitive advantage regarding the security of the transaction. Clearing has anonymous data, meaningthat user data is only know by their service provider with content transfer being entirely handled as an independent transaction, done outside of the regify solution by a channel such as email.

Why invest? Market conditions: There is a large market (USD 150 Bn in

postage fees for mailing letters) which is subject to substitution by regify and others. In addition this market is ready (e.g. E-Postbrief or De-Mail in Germany). Upgrading e-mail systems to secure and trusted communication channel adds to the business case.

Global IP that protects our USP of scaling across providers. New providers and their users build network effects for the whole regify business

Experienced team, able to share knowledge and expertise to allow growth across the regify business.

TechnologySecure solution for all channels, POS, e-commerce, invoices, TV etc. Based on QR codes and NFC Compatible with all kinds of smartphones; available on iOS, Android and very soon on RIM. It contains a hosted dynamic infrastructure within eBRC virtualized servers.

Problem SolvingMajority of the mobile payment systems launched in the last few years and months have been too dependent on the technology (mainly NFC), limiting the potential market to widely deploy the solutions to merchants and customers. On top of this, consumers expect an added-value to payment systems, compared to what exists today.With that in mind, FLASHiZ is focused on the user experience and the flexibility of its system. Being fully software-based, it does not require any additional hardware and can easily be embedded onto a wide range of terminals, such as smartphones and tablets, but also cash-desks, websites, and paper invoices. To extend the user experience with added-value services FLASHiZ will embark on the use of schemes such as e-tickets, integrated loyalty cards and large mobile marketing capabilities.

Market validationOnly four months after its launch in Luxembourg, FLASHiZ counts several thousands of users paying everyday with their smartphone. Surprisingly, this result was achieved without any specific marketingplan in place since the communication plan started only mid-September.The number of merchants and partners using FLASHiZ increases every day in Luxembourg as well as in France, Spain and Belgium. In each of these countries, pilot phases are starting in targeted cities. The start of activities in Italy, The Netherland and Germany will be announced soon.With already more than 9.000 POS compatible with FLASHiZ, our growth and deployment is rapidly progressing.

Competitive AdvantageMobey S.A. is built around people with extensive knowledge and experience on banking systems and processes. Moreover, thanks to its strong partnerships in Luxembourg and the pan-European eMoney Institution licence, Mobey S.A. will be able to make its name, and astrong reputation in Luxembourg and to promote its solutions more widely all across Europe.

Why invest?Mobile payment is the next big wave and FLASHiZ has taken it. While big standard industry players are waiting for an NFC-ready environment, FLASHiZ has built a solution that the market is ready to welcome. Our business model is simple and straightforward, leading us only towards success.

To facilitate the booking process, the Company develops and implements various applications and additional services (sms-notifications) for customers and providers.

Problem SolvingExcursiopedia.com helps customers: 1) to explore, find, book and pay for "on-request" activities and tours; 2) to communicate with the service providers and get all the details on the specific activity chosen; 3) to check quality of provider; 4) to book any activity in advance to avoid overbooking and secure one's travelling schedule.Excursiopedia.com helps providers: 1) to reach the global market and present themselves to all possible customers worldwide; 2) to secure payments; 3) to get the sustainable pipeline of orders.

Market validationThere is a booking conversion rate of more than 1.5% for the most popular destinations like Paris, Prague and Lisbon. There are more than 2,750 providers ans 6,300 activities and tours offerings registered in the system.

Competitive AdvantageExcursiopedia.com allows its customers to book any activity (even non-standard) as simple as the usual ticket booking process. The service is a current market leader by number of bookings, activities coverage, and interface languages.

Why invest?Whilst most travel markets, like flights and hotels, are heavily occupied by large multinational players, one of the last resorts with chances to become a true global player is activities and tours sector. With industry giants like Expedia beginning to move into this field, there will be great exit options within 3-5 years or even IPO opportunity as a global market leader.

Revenue forecast:€ 400K in 2013


Management team:Dr. Bernd Baumstümmler, CEO

TechnologyThe goal of the technology is the encapsulation of a product and is achieved when two fine impinging jets containing the different reactants collide with each other in a gas-filled chamber at the center of the microjet reactor. These jets have small diameters and very high velocities, thus creating a very fast mixing process at the point of impact. The resulting precipitants have the ability to encapsulate the product in the interior of the forming particle.

Problem SolvingThe production of nanoparticles is difficult to manage with current methods due to the lack of control on the the technical environment in which they are produced. With our proprietary production method for nano- and microparticles,we are able to control all technical and physiochemical parameters very easily and can offer scale-up possibilities. We are capable of producing highly specialized particles usable in a variety of applications, including health, food and cosmetics.

Market validationOur main product is the efficient development of pharmaceutical reformulations based on a nanotechnological approach. This helps our clients create a Generic+ drug and/or perform active life cycle management. We can cover all areas of development from the initial project up to an approval, followed by a licence agreement and production of the drug as a CMO. This "one stop shop" business model has been validated by the market and approved by different customer projects. As an example, we opened up a new business segment for a client by reformulating a chemotherapeutic. Based on this successful project start, the customer decided to follow up with two additional projects in his main business fields.

Competitive AdvantageCompared to competitors, the MJR-Technology is superior in terms of flexibility (all application routes, all API's) and cost structure. It istherefore possible to cover the whole drug development chain. We use a continuous "one step" process which can be easily integrated in given process chains adaptable to specific client needs. The process is reproducible, easy to scale up and can be performed under the highest quality standards (GMP).

Why invest?We fully embrace the increasing importance of nanotechnologies that will impact our future. With MJR, we have an optimal instrument to create a wide range of different nanoparticles according to your needs. In order to bring nanoparticles into different markets, it is of vital importance to be able to adapt these nanoparticles to fit in the wanted products and produce the needed amounts at acceptable costs. We have developed a very efficient development platform, suitable methods as well as a production platform ranging from simple particles to highly complex systems. We can transfer the pharma methods and experiences to speed up the food business by creating a new spin off company.
