Pre Innovations: Gamified Startup Investing

Description

Pre Innovations revolutionizes startup pitch events by transforming them into interactive, data-driven experiences through the use of PreMoney®, a virtual investment currency. The platform enables audiences to act as mock investors, providing real-time feedback and investment signals to founders during live or remote events. This gamified approach boosts engagement, helps identify high-potential startups, and provides valuable performance insights to presenters. Developed using Flutter with Firebase and Google Cloud Platform backends, the app features dynamic leaderboards, hybrid (in-person and remote) participation, and post-event monetization through access to pitch content. The product was built using a hybrid Agile-Waterfall methodology with continuous iteration to support evolving user needs and scalable event experiences.

Open Up Art

Description

Culture Tech is a SaaS startup delivering solutions to museums and other organizations for licensing and rights management. The company's primary product is MONA, a software which allows users to upload their collections, track licenses, and set up automated workflows for the licensing process. We worked on adding an integration to a Digital Asset Manager (DAM), Resourcespace, in MONA, so clients can import their collections directly from their DAM. Using technologies like Java, VueJS, and Docker, we developed this new integration using modern software development methodologies.
