Part Two of Tiburon-TV's new series "The Top 5" covers the five most promising Swiss startups: Amazee, Poken, smaboo, Cassiber and smeepe.
Dania Gerhardt is one of the three co-founders of social collaboration platform Amazee.com who has lately been under attack: Amazon.com has targeted the platform for collective action with trademark claims and is demanding Amazee be removed from the Swiss trade mark register. Believe it or not, you can win a hefty Amazon gift certificate if you support Amazee in this case by adding the project to Facebook. Click here to watch Viktoria's interview with Amazee's CEO Gregory Gerhardt.
Forget about paper business cards: Stéphane Doutriaux - founder and CEO at Lausanne-based Poken.com - set a new trend in the Social Networking space by developing a digital business card as a fashion accessory. Pokens are little plastic creatures that manage your e-life via RFID and enable you to be connected at all the networks at once.
Any company with an already strong brand can use smaboo.com’s ambassador marketing campaigns to broaden its target market. The Swiss-German startup recruits the right people for them, generates the content in the online and offline world thereby creating word of mouth effects. As co-founder and CTO Adrian Locher proudly mentions, smaboo’s client list is quite impressive: Microsoft, Debitel and Facebook Germany.
Trying to remember the idea you had yesterday? On Cassiber.com you can free your thoughts from your mind as well as save and share it with your team and your organization. The young startup is all about idea and innovation management and truly Swiss: CEO and co-founder Rico Wyder points out that Cassiber’s software is developed 100% in Switzerland - office, infrastructure and major clients are also located in the „Land of the Alps“.
The two founders of online portal smeepe.net - Danielle Grossi and Sonya Perry – were sick of a problem they faced almost every day: „Where do we find vendors for our projects and how do we know they are of good quality and suit our needs?“ So it is smeepe’s mission to match users to the most suitable vendors they need for their project worldwide. Users can search for vendors in multiple locations, then view, contact, rate and comment. Right now, event and IT/Social Media vendors can register and also use the platform to market themselves.
