Tenth Pitch Day winning startups announced
On August 28, the tenth pitch, organized by the Ukrainian Startup Fund, took place on the territory of the UNIT.City innovation park. 9 startups submitted their ideas at the seed stage (they are competing for a grant of $ 50,000 each). We are glad to announce that at the meeting of the Fund’s Supervisory Board, it was decided to finance two of them, namely:
- TenniRobo. An innovative compact table tennis robot that is effectively a professional coach controlled by a mobile app. The device connects to a mobile phone via Bluetooth and allows the user to control any parameters of the shot. The robot is able to create really realistic ball behavior – as it creates a real person in the game, this is a great advantage for athletes. The mobile app allows you to create your own shots and combine them into personal training programs With TenniRobo, players do not have to set up their training schedule, do not depend on a partner or coach, and can save up to $ 80 per week on independent training. In addition, it is a very useful assistant for every coach, because the robot helps to significantly accelerate the professional growth of an athlete and diversify training.
- Kray Technologies. The world’s first automatic plant protection and fertilizing drones for field crops with industrial production (up to 470 ha/day), which reduce application costs by 90% to $ 2 / ha (US market). They allow the farmer to get rid of crop losses associated with the application, and apply new technologies of frequent feeding, which promise an increase in yields of 20-40%.
