Atlanta Startup Village #10 Recap

July 29, 2013

Hooray, Atlanta Startup Village is back again! This month, we had a cool lineup of folks, from ice cream to spinning phones and everything in between. Here's a recap of tonight's presenters:DynoForms:Mobile forms made easy. DynoForms simplifies the process of filling out paper forms, via an easy to use web app and mobile app. This was one of the greatest product demos we've seen at ASV. David created a form, deployed it to the mobile app, completed it and took action on it all under 4 minutes, in front of our eyes. The app allows you to capture photos, bar codes, etc., and the data can all be exported to Excel. Can scale from 1 user to unlimited numbers of users. $10/mo/user.M8Safe:The Carfax of the dating world. Online dating profiles, and dating in general, can be questionable, people can lie about drugs or diseases from their past. With M8Safe, you can get your labs done to ensure you're drug, disease, and crime free, and become "certified" M8Safe. Display that on your online dating profile. Sets you apart from the rest of the crowd in the dating pool. $20/year.Egos Ventures:With the wildly popular Cycloramic app, Egos Ventures brought the first 360 degree self-rotating camera app to the market. It launched in December of 2012 and was named New York Times' brightest idea of 2012. They are developing new kinds of levitating, remotely-controlled camera apps. Crazy and cool!Frozen Pints:Did we say beer ice cream? Yes, we did! The Frozen Pints crew was on hand with samples of their tasty and innovative craft beer ice cream, and boy was it tasty. They bring great beer flavors and delicious ice cream flavors together. The co-founders develop the flavor combinations themselves, and then work with a local ice cream company to make the product. They are in the metro-Atlanta area right now and are expanding distribution to other cities in Georgia. They are developing some mobile carts to bring the beer ice cream anywhere people need it. $6/pint, 1-year shelf life.Moocdom:Making sense of the MOOC universe, Moocdom brings all of the various online course offerings to your fingertips, in an easily searchable web app. The cool thing is, you can search by skillset, not just by class name. Through Moocdom, you can find and take courses, and as you build your programs of study, it will suggest other courses you might be interested in taking. In addition, you can actually earn course credit that is transferable to thousands of colleges, and even earn a complete degree-- FOR FREE. Moocdom is revolutionizing the educational experience through the use of online education.We will see you next month, on Monday August 26th, for the next installment! Please note that through the end of the year, the event will start at 6:30 and end at 8:00.
