This week we started to get acquainted with the 4th Edition startups, whose founders
are starting to feel the acceleration of their companies in the first weeks at NXTP Labs.
My name is Federico Builes and I'm the Co-Founder and CTO of Micarga.
Micarga.com is a platform for the commercial cargo transportation in Latin America
You have a truck that takes roughage from Cordoba to Rosario and the truck driver
will have its wagon empty on the way back. Here is where Micarga enters the scene,
helping the driver to to go back to Cordoba with a new load.
It's a quite simple business model, we charge a small comission for this
transportation and seeing how big the Latin American market is, we know it's a very
profitable business.
My name is Mariana Neman, I'm the Founder of Femeninas.com.
Femeninas.com is a scalable crowd sourcing platform. The model is similar to
Demand Media, where the editors can upload content and get a profit out of it.
What does it mean? Through an artificial intelligence system we'll offer different
subjects, out of which the editor can choose one of their own interest and write
about it. It's always focused on women's topics. Fashion, looks, trends, style...
Everything that is interesting for women.
My name is Martín Spinetto and I am co-founder of Widow Games, a startup
that develops mobile games and specializes in taking the classic board
games to the digital platform. But we're not only dedicated to offer
these classics that people already know, we are going beyond that. We take these
games that got really popular in countries like Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Brazil and
make it global. We make a version in English and distribute it in the United
States, Asia, Japan, for example, with games that have been tested in our
local markets.
We're the Co-Founders of ProductGram. ProductGram is a mobile application to
post products in a easy and attractive way in social networks and e-commerce
portals. The problem we identified is that
publishing products in marketplaces and social networks is not easy enough, nor
the results are atractive enough. That's why we created this mobile application
that includes easy access features to publish products with prices and
check-out options included. Our goals are related to the creation
of at least 500 stores in the first days after launching and the generation of
the first purchases in early May.
Hello! We are Fligoo. Fligoo is born to cover the need of knowing what gift to
give someone. Fligoo developed an algorithm that interprets and analyses
personal information in social networks to turn it into gift suggestions.
How does it work? You log in to Fligoo with Facebook and choose a friend of
yours. The algorithm starts running and suggests the best products for this person.
My name is José. I am Patricio. Vontrip is a privet club that
offers its members the best offers in travels and escapades with discounts that
go from 40% to 70%. Our strenght is the commercial area,
where we're constantly recruiting hotels that fulfill our quality standards to ensure
that our users really have the best experience we can offer them at very
attractive prices.
Hello! I am Angel and I'm the Co-Founder and CTO of Citibuddies.
Our expectation for NXTP Labs is at first to get support to establish the business
we already have in Colombia here in Argentina. The other thing is the access
to the huge network of mentors and advisors the accelerator has.
The truth is that the expectations we had are being greatly exceeded. The team
of professionals and the people in here are wonderful, we have everything at our
disposal and we're stepping towards success.
About this incredible opportunity of being at NXTP Labs, the fact is we feel
honoured to have been selected out of so many interesting projects that applied.
For us it is the opportunity to take this business model far beyond where we had
previously planned.
Our expectations for the program are to profit from the network of mentors
and advisors offered by the program to be able to accelerate the launching of our product.
It truly is an accelerator. We're here for two weeks and we're seeing the fruits it's
giving us. We believe that in these 4 months the program takes we'll get
very well prepared to receive a new round of investment, with a product that lives up to
the market expectations and that will allow us to keep our expansion plan,
launching in other Latin American countries first and, then, getting to the United States
It's been two weeks we're incubated at the NXTP Labs program. It is, in fact, an
incredible experience, at least for me it's unique. We're surrounded by
entrepreneurs from different areas and with different ideas and the truth is that it's a
great learning experience enhanced by NXTP Labs' team. They know a lot and have an
experience that backs them up and that's truly helping us very much in the process
of creating and launching our company.
