Final Round Masterclass

August 2014 · 1 mos
Edinburgh, Scotland · On-site

Seedcamp

Mini Seedcamp Edinburgh took place on the 6th and 7th August. The aim was to accelerate local startup businesses through masterclasses, networking and immediate feedback. The audience was made up of serial entrepreneurs, product/bizdev experts, VC’s, angels and startups. The format comprised of a masterclass by Seedcamp, short presentations by all the participating teams to a panel who provided immediate feedback. The schedule also included networking and a panel debate including Q&A. The panel was designed to reflect the local ecosystem, and bring some actionable insights for all attended guests.

[Our Pitch]

Have you ever tried to organise a study-group, a night out with friends or any kind of gathering/meeting with multiple people? It’s a pain isn’t it.

Today we live in an era where everyone leads multiple lives in both the virtual and real worlds. MangoSteam’s premier product, “Syncronome” (formerly “Project Metronome”), tackles the issue of juggling these disjointed lives and connects them all together to keep you harmonised.

Syncronome is an intelligent system that adapts and predicts your routine in order to become the perfect scheduling and virtual synchronising assistant. It is the lazy man’s scheduler taking the hassle out of time management.

As a result of our 20 minute meeting, the company provided myself and a colleague with the latest Apple technology in order to investigate how this platform could bring their business services closer to their customers’ needs.

History…

“Make it Real” lets users draw an image of software and bring it to life using AI. The feature uses OpenAI’s GPT-4V API to visually interpret a vector drawing into
functioning Tailwind CSS and JavaScript web code that can replicate user interfaces or even create simple implementations of games like Breakout.

Tldraw, developed by Steve Ruiz in London, is an open source collaborative whiteboard tool. It offers a basic infinite canvas for drawing, text, and media without requiring a login. Launched in 2021, the project received $2.7 million in seed funding and is supported by GitHub sponsors. When The GPT-4V API launched recently, Ruiz integrated a design prototype called “draw-a-ui” created by Sawyer Hood to bring the AI-powered functionality into tldraw.

Usage:

When the Splash screen has displayed for 5 seconds, the User will be presented with a Calibration screen. The User can press the GREEN Button to increase and the RED Button to decrease the required temperature adjustment amount, when finished the User simply presses the BLUE Button to continue.

When the Temperature screen is displayed the User can perform the following functions via the assigned inputs. RED Button: Toggle Logging On / Off, GREEN Button: Toggle °C / °F, BLUE Button: Toggle OLED display On / Off. When the OLED Display is in the off state, the Pico onboard LED is illuminated to show the temperature logger is on.

POTENTIOMETER: Interval time (Left 60s) (Center 30s) (Right 15s) (s = seconds)

When the logging CSV file is created and appended to, the filename suffix datetime stamp is set to the following format… [temperatureYYYY-MM-DD_HHMMSS.csv]. If no external RTC is installed then an additional random suffix number can be added to the filename… [temperatureYYYY-MM-DD_HHMMSS_01234567.csv]
