- Startups - TWiST Paris Meetup - TWiST #214

0:00-1:45 Organizer Kirsten Winkler welcomes everyone to the TWiST Paris meetup.

1:45-2:45 Patrick from Le Camping explains what their incubator program does.

2:45-4:30 First pitch: Jerome Derozard pitches Lifeshow.com, a program that allows users to publish their photos to TV and tablets.

4:30-6:45 Jason: This was almost a perfect pitch. You defined a problem, you made it personal. I give the presentation a 9 and the business model an 8.

6:45-7:45 Tyler gives the pitch a 9.

9:00-10:15 How are you going to monetize this?

11:15-16:00 Thank you to Walker Corporate Law for sponsoring the program.

16:15-17:30 Next pitch: Richard Fielding presents PrepMyFuture, an adaptive test preparation learning system for GMAT testing.

18:30-18:45 Tyler, what was the one thing that you took away from his pitch? What was the killer feature?

18:45-20:15 Jason gives the pitch an 8.

20:15-21:30 What's the most important feature of this business?

21:30-23:15 Jason: I give the business model an 8 or 8.5. You need to know your audience, so what are the future trends?

23:15-25:15 Tyler: I give the pitch an 8, you could have made it more personal and emotional.

25:15-25:45 If this is going to be social and mobile, you should have told us that. Give your audience a roadmap.

27:00-28:00 Kirsten gives the pitch a 7.5/8 and the business an 8.5/9.

28:00-29:30 Next pitch: Guillaume Martin pitches Pictarine, a service that integrates different photo services into one shareable, downloadable slideshow.

32:00-34:00 Jason: I felt like the pitch was focused on one problem that I don't think is too important. I also don't think the premium model will work.

34:00-35:15 Tyler: What is the one thing you want me to remember from this pitch?

35:15-38:45 Tyler: I give the pitch a 6.5. I give the business a 7.

38:45-41:00 Jason: What is you created an app that, when I logged in, pulled down all of my friend's photos and automatically organized them into an iPad app?

41:45-43:00 Kirsten: From the perspective of the organizer of this meetup, I can see the value in organizing photos. I have questions about the business model.

43:00-44:15 Jason: A dollar in the app store is the same as free. How many people here will download a $0.99 app without thinking about it?

44:15-44:30 Nice work, let's hear it for all three companies.

44:30-49:00 Thank you to GoToMeeting for sponsoring the show!

49:00-49:30 We have a few of our previous pitching companies here with us tonight to tell us what's new with them.
