Introduce yourself!

Hello everyone!

 

I’m Ilham an upcoming graduate in Aerospace engineering at Bristol University in the UK and I’m on a mission to helping universities go digital by enhancing learning through conversational technology with my startup E2E. Super happy to be part of this accelerator and looking forward to hearing more about other startups. I am excited to starting the programme this summer and be learning how to create a playbook tailored to the needs of our users at E2E. 

At E2E the value we bring to our users is at the core of all our decisions. So it's perfect that ELEVATE has customised each lesson to be aligned with a stage of the customer and user lifecycle journey: Attract, Engage, and Delight.

 

My favourite dessert would have to be tiramisu or sticky toffee pudding. Smiley (fröhlich)

Hi everybody,

I am Yusuf, co-founder and CEO of Recruitment Smart, based in London.   We automate recruitment processes (candidate sourcing, screening and engagement) for large enterprises globally.

 

We have done lots of email based marketing and SEO based inbound lead gen activities so far.  Operating in the B2B space has created a lot of challenges around the predictability of our pipeline.

 

Hence I am looking for ideas on accelerating growth and improving the accuracy of our forecasting.

 

My favourite desert is "gulab jamun"

Love reading about each of your startups!

 

Juan Romero, could you give us a link and tell us how it compares to esign options on the market now?  I imagine many of us might need an esign platform.

 

Lewis, I sent the blog link to the president of Developing World Markets, which loans money to microfinance institutions around the world.  What you do might facilitate the efficiency and effectiveness of the MFIs they work with around the world.  https://www.dwmarkets.com/

 

 We at Green Yachts are excited to particiate in Elevate! I'm Graham Balch, the founder and managing broker of the world's first boat brokerage dedicated to selling electric sailboats and powerboats.  Here's a link to our site: http://greenyachtsales.com/

 

And, if you want to see a really cool  video of a boat we just listed, take a look at this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OemYht5Les&t=27s

 

We believe that electric boating is far better for our planet, but also for the enjoyment of boating because electric motors are quiet, don't produce fumes, require less maintenance and are easier to operate.   We also believe that boating will follow trends in the car industry in going electric.

 

Location:  US and Canada and headquarter in San Rafael, CA outside San Francisco

 

What we hope to get out of Elevate?  I'd say three things:

1. figuring out together how start-ups as opposed to established companies get the most out of Hubspot

2. helping each other out in any way we can

3. reducing the lag phase of the S growth curve that every entrepreneur faces before hitting the high growth phase.  It takes awhile for even good products/services to catch on and getting initial success is so important to all of our successes.

Thanks.  Very kind of you.  And, I believe all of us entrepreneurs in Elevate could use a bit more reflection on our internal light as you are helping people to do in your endeavor.

Hi friends!

 

I'm John Modica, one of Kamana's co-foudners. A software platform for healthcare employers and professionals to manage their workflows faster and cheaper (e.g. onboarding, credential management, and job matching). Starting with travel healthcare, our platform simplifies the processes staffing agencies and workers need to complete to successfully secure work.

 

I'm hoping to come out of ELEVATE with inbound sales management skills, and insights on how to take our marketing to the next level. Also excited to learn from other founders!

John, I also work in the healthcare business.  I'd love to hear more about your business.  One of our initiatives is a resource called virtualpractices.org.  It's a project to help independant healthcare practitioners in the integrative and functional medicine space convert to telehealth and respond to the COVID crisis.  Looking forward to learning more about your work!
