Introduce yourself!

 

Hello Everyone! 

 

Very excited to become a part of the ELEVATE. 

 

I am Mukul, Co-founder of ‘TheDo’. My role with TheDo is the lead technology implementation as chief technologist. 

 

Visit our site: http://www.thedo.ie/

 

Our goal at ‘TheDo’ is to provide the best customer experience using artificial intelligence and aim to deliver the groceries/order within 60 mins from store2door using smart could platform. We are looking forward to take the idea beyond Vishal's original intention of helping needful people during the COVID19 lockdown to the scaled operations helping customers to shop in a smart and faster way. 

 

We (@VishalAMS and Me) are focusing on the cloud-based digital platform which will benefit people to order groceries at ease. With this platform, we aim to connect store and service partners to provide fast, reliable, and safe service to the customers.

 

I look to build:

· Start-up growth strategy

· Get first seed funding for TheDo

· Expand our network

· Learn to improve marketing, customer experience, and acquisitions

 

My favorite dessert has to be Donut.

 

I look forward to connecting with everyone and thanks to @cpieri to making us part of the ELEVATE family.

 

Cheers,

Mukul

Introduce yourself!

Hi,

I'm Caroline and I'm the founder of EiSHT - Emotionally intelligent, Skilled, Happy Teens!  I'm based in Kildare in Ireland and we're operating just over a year now.  We're a social enterprise and specifically work with young people aged 16 - 19 on personal and professional development.  We help parents, secondary schools and SME’s, that want help to deliver employable, self-aware, adaptable, social citizens to succeed by providing a tool box of skills, resilience, independence and self-esteem for young people aged 16 +

 

I've worked in the private sector previously for over 20 years and have run businesses for others. As this is my first time out on my own, I'm hoping to learn as much as possible to prevent the pitfalls of self-employment and to learn how to grow our business so that we can help as many young people as possible.

 

Favourite dessert would have to be homemade meringue roulade!

Hi folks! I'm Joseph , a co-founder of NUSIC

 

NUSIC is a creative audio app which leverages our unique remix technology to allow users to mashup their favourite songs in 3 taps and generate a video to share to their social media.

 

We've been remote-first for the past year. I'm currently located in my childhood city of Swansea in Wales (UK).

 

We've mostly been focused on product up to this point keeping the app to a limited set of beta test users. As we become more confident with the product and technology it's a great time for us to look at user acquisition which I think ELEVATE will help with a lot. Kieran's talk yesterday has already given some great insights.

 

My favourite dessert is a local ice cream brand called Joe's. 🍦. If you know you know 😎

Hey everyone,

 

Its a great pleasure to be here and learn from some of the greatest minds in the industry. My name is Naim Ur Rashid, I am the CEO/Founder of LENDEN - a peer to peer lending platform built on top of a credit scoring system based on alternative data such as psychometric assessment, digital footprints, mobile data and social media data. We are located in Minnesota, USA and we start our journey by launching our solutions in Bangladesh, a country with no credit socring system neither a peer to peer lending platform. Our plan is to start there, and expand to other countries that needs our solutions the most!

 

CHANGING LIVES THROUGH FINANCIAL INCLUSION, OUR FIGHT AGAINST POVERTYOver 2 billion people around the world, and over 90 million in Bangladesh do not have access to basic financial instruments which is a critical step in improving lives, reducing poverty and inequality.

TRANSFORMING DATA. TRANSFORMING ACCESS. TRANSFORMING LIVES. Breaking the barriers for financial inclusion through innovation and digitization. With innovative digital solutions (seemless EKYC and credit scoring for people with no financial history), we aim to bring the most marginilized people into the financial system, so that they can improve their lives. 

We hope to improve our strategies, innovate faster and more importantly learn froms mentors who have built great solutions that changed the world, that is our main aspiration from ELEVATE.

 

My favorite dessert would be Gulab Jamun (It is a South Asian desert)

 

Thank you, and I hope to connect with great minds over the course of this program.

Naim

I'm interested to learn more about the analytic tools HubSpot offers that can help me better track our marketing efforts. I have to echo Ned that my favorite dessert is Peachey's donuts. It was once listed on my Yelp profile as what I would eat for my last meal on earth.
