Our own Sensefinity was considered one of the best IoT startups in Europe. They have just won the 2015 Idea Challenge in Internet of Things held in Kista, Sweeden.
Sensefinity is the Internet of Things for the masses. In other words it’s for all businesses which have data information needs for additional revenues based upon efficiencies and risk mitigation. By plugging Sensefinity’s devices and registering to the platform, projects can immediately start using data gathered from their assets and delivered by their ubiquitous GSM data-pipe with multinational companies and covering worldwide territory.
The user-friendly interface allows for fast access to set-temperatures, thresholds, alarms and reports.
Sensefinity is part of the current batch of our startup accelerator, Deloitte Digital Disruptors, along with 14 other startups.
Great expectations for the future as this promising Portuguese startup unveils itself to the world.

Standard Access, who has recently joined us at Deloitte Digital Disruptors in Lisbon, was considered the Tech Startup of the Year in Ireland. The prize was given by the Bank of Ireland.
This promising startup, that is taking part of our acceleration program, has developed a hardware / software product and lock combination that allows monetised time restricted access to a building via your internet enabled device integrated with a client or tenant management platform.
This useful solution can be used by property managers or real estate agents when doing a viewing for example. It is particularly interesting for the tourism industry as most hotels struggle with these issues on a daily basis.
Find out more about this innovative startup in the Tourism Day, hosted by Airbnb and organised by Beta-i, next Tuesday, November 24th. Standard Access will be pitching on stage. Get your ticket now before it’s too late.

It’s three weeks now since Beta-start kicked-off and time has been flying among so many interesting activities hosted during this crazy journey. The 10 teams have been growing fast with the support of many mentors and coaches that are coming around to help them on the project development.
Cristina Fonseca, co-founder at Talkdesk, one of the fastest growing companies in San Francisco, is coaching one team as well as Diogo Ortega from Line Health (Beta-start alumni), Tiago Franco from Imaginary Cloud and many others.
The team building activity with which they started the journey is, so far, one of the highlights of the program and resulted in a goldfish adoption – Margaret. Other highlights include the workshop From Concept to MVP by Diogo Teles, Head of Product at Faber Ventures or the Business Model Innovation by Manuel Tânger.
They’ve been able to narrow down their business ideas and focus on core features with the help of the above mentioned coaches and many others. The feedback has been so valuable that one team is actually pivoting. Kudos to our Beta-starters and keep up with the great job on the last week of the program.
