A little more about the Lightning Pitch companies:
KarmaHire is the most exciting and effective way to hire. Our remote skill testing and video interview platform enables companies to hire top candidates up to 10x faster and cheaper. We enable companies to send out customized video-response questions and technical tests. Candidates respond on their own time- no scheduling needed. It gives top candidates the opportunity to show off their natural skills. Hiring companies can then quickly rate, share, and compare candidates to quickly identify the best. We eliminate the pain of scheduling, ineffective phone screens, and wasted ?bad-fit? interviews.
Action Sports Concepts is seeking to finance the development and initial operation of an action sports training facility in Burnaby, BC. The facility will provide a safe, controlled and exciting indoor learning environment for the increasingly demanding maneuvers associated with sports in this category. Specifically tailored for the action sports market of the lower mainland, the facility will attract recreational and professional users from freestyle skiing, snowboarding, BMX, mountain biking and skateboarding. We are looking for interested investment partners, and/or connections to others with potential interest.
Yactraq Online video indexing software uses speech recognition & NLP to tag video with a set of time-coded contextual topics in real time. Publishers can use our topics to take their user experience to the next level through more precise search, discovery & navigation of content. Additionally our topics can be used to monetize video content through contextual ads.
VersiCool is a medical device concept, designed to induce therapeutic hypothermia in cardiac arrest patients. Induced therapeutic hypothermia has been shown to increase survival rates by 17% and increase favorable neurological outcomes by 14%. Research suggests that the earlier therapeutic hypothermia is induced, the greater the increase in survival rate. VersiCool is designed with novel technology enabling its use in both the pre-hospital and in-hospital settings and allowing for rapid cooling in the early stage following a cardiac arrest. Its differentiating factors from competitors in the industry are its speed, portability, and controlled cooling.
Launch Academy is a new non-profit tech startup accelerator with a unique model that provides entrepreneurs with optimized learning environment and aims to strengthen Vancouver?s tech community. Currently we have over 20 companies with us that enjoy a stimulating working space, mentoring and peer learning sessions, speaker events and accountability measures that culminate in a demo day. In addition to the great response we received from companies, we received a healthy response from potential sponsors. But we need more help to support our growth.
Watch out for details coming soon on our special end of event season BBQ. This year?s event will be at Science World on June 26th.
We are delighted to be welcoming Gretchen Libby, Executive in Charge of Business Development and Global Strategy of Industrial Light & Magic, a division of Lucasfilm.
