At UnPluGGd2, 10 startups demoed their product to the audience. From the initial list of 250, 35 made it to the second round and post that, our panel helped us select the 10 promising startups.
Like we mentioned earlier, there were several parameters that were taken into account and here is the list of companies that made it to the stage (in no partcular order).
AppCanvas
Started by an ex-Googler, AppCanvas is the “photoshop” for web applications.
Appcanvas is a powerful tool and is targeted towards non-programmers who want to create custom dynamic applications (like a blog). Features of the platform include
- Non-programmers who want to create custom dynamic applications.
- Appcanvas exports code and allows injecting code for advanced functionality. Developers who want to retain control of their development environment, can still use Appcanvas to do 90% of the work and later modify the code manually.
- Without its dynamic capabilities, is a powerful tool to design web sites which can be directly exported to HTML. This in itself is a powerful product that many designers and developers want.
Dialify
Product : Cwicket
Started by Nikil Soman, who earlier started Zapak and BigAdda, Dialify has launched their first product – cWicket.
Cwicket is an Audio Game designed for in-call delivery over telephony networks, bringing a new cricketing experience to all phone users across the country. NO Downloads, NO Data plans, NO GPRS, just a simple number to dial & play.
Audio gaming as a concept may sound odd – particularly because our lives are visually saturated. However Audio/Sound has some unique properties – sound perception includes spatial distribution awareness & multi-channel sensitivity, which implies multi-tasking. These are quite easily ignored or over-shadowed by the visual sense.
At Dialify, we believe that sound/audio on its own is a very powerful medium. Perhaps that’s why music is still such a big hit, and also why I cant imagine watching cricket on TV without the commentary & Movies sans music. Cwicket is commentary of a cricket match that users play over a phone call.
The company has worked on building the next generation Interactive Voice Game Engine with support for turn based, strategy & role playing games. Future releases include dynamic environments, social publishing from within games, collaborative task completion, virtual items & Massively Multi-player Tournaments.
