Proto 2008 : Launchpad for Asian Startups!

  16 Jan 2008 by ReviewSaurus | , ,

proto Proto 2008 has been announced already and I’m going to attend the event. Not only I’ll be able to network with lots of people but I’ll be able to see some of the finest startups of Asia (mostly Indian startups)

 

For those, who don’t know about Proto :

Proto.in is about giving entrepreneurs a platform to express their visions and showcase their imagination, with a working prototype, for the world to see.

Proto.in provides a unique platform for promising startup talent to communicate their creativity and innovation potential. As a meeting place for the smartest entrepreneurs, venture capitalists and professionals.

The agenda of Proto looks really great and its getting difficult for me to decide that which section will I attend on the first day : Business or Technology. Please suggest me.

On the second day, 15 startups will be showcasing their products and I’ll be covering the whole event and will profile all the fifteen startups over here at ReviewSaurus.

So, if you are going to attend the event, do let me know about it and we’ll be able to meet at Proto. See you @ proto!

    I don’t know whether or not you had attended Proto.in 08. Mundial Communications from South Africa was one of the presenting companies. I presented our product called: Yambi. Yambi is actually the only platform in the world specially meant for the consumer and small businesses worldwide.
    Unlike many existing Unified Messaging and Collaboration platforms whose servers are very expensive, but cannot be hosted in broadband or any other dynamic network, Yambi servers can be hosted in any network: dynamic or static, even with simple dial-up connection.
    DESIGNED FOR THE CONSUMERS
    It is really the world-first Consumer Unified Messaging and Collaboration server. It offers you a unique offline-online experience.
    You will agree that the best place to host your data remains your local hard drive. However, as you are not desk-bound at all times, the need exists to access these data remotely or to push it automatically to your mobile device. This has proved throughout the years almost an impossible mission, unless you can afford costly servers like Exchange, Domino etc. But because these servers don’t work on broadband, - despite the fact that broadband has become the preferred internet connection worldwide, - you have to acquire expensive dedicated networks as well.
    It is a fact that the majority of Internet users cannot afford this solution. In order to remotely access the data, they are forced to host them on the web only (no off line) often with companies they can’t completely trust. But believe me, not all data are meant to be hosted by a third party.
    TOTAL CONTROL
    Yambi platform gives you total control over your data and freedom of hosting choice. It can be hosted on your local hard drive, on a remote virtual machine, on any data Centre, on a few of your peers’ machines, even on a memory stick.
    SECURE COMMUNICATION CHANNEL
    Mundial Communications patent pending technology keeps related servers at all time visible to each other and establishes a peer to peer secure communication channel between servers and their clients; making it possible for an all-time and anywhere multi-point Access/Delivery of your data (Desktop, Web, Mobile Devices)
    IMAGINE
    Imagine, Imagine Microsoft Communications Server 2007, Microsoft Groove Server and their respective clients, integrated into one Application. Now, imagine the integrated application targeting the general consumer and SME worldwide. Imagine a unified Messaging service for the consumer that is so simple that even Grannies can use it. With the added bonus that all mobile data (E-mail, IM, SMS) are sent and received over IP. Thus escaping the exorbitant charges from the Mobile carries.

    Imagine your Outlook or any other mail client integrating all your Mail accounts, Contact management with Presence, secure and archived Instant messaging, shared and group calendar, file sharing, etc with Server-side hosted data.
    Imagine … Yambi: an unified messaging platform for the consumer worldwide.
    Yambi: your unique and secure PVN (personal virtual network)

    @ Leonard : I did attend the Proto and I was thinking of writing about mundial too, but it seems that you just covered it for our readers :)

    Anyway, I liked your laptop man.. :)
    I’ll try and cover Yambi too however, I think it’s just not right for our readers as our readers are more into consumer stuff and Yambi focuses on enterprise customers.

    Thank you very much. I like that laptop too, but Vista did freeze on me during my presentation. Yambi is exactly the kind of product that your readers need. It is the world-first CONSUMER unified messaging platform. Maybe I did not make myself clear. I am making some screenshots slides that I will post soon.
