[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.

Having recently been acquired by Simplyhealth, I found myself discussing with the then CEO about what mobile technology could bring to the company. The conversation moved on to an idea that he had for a mobile passive fitness tracking app which would encourage people to invest time in walking part way towards their daily commute. 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.
