I’m at the DEMO Fall conference in Silicon Valley this week. The show is a platform for new technology startups to launch before a tech- and startup-savvy audience. For those unfamiliar with the long-running gathering, the premise is that a group of about 50 carefully-vetted startups get the chance to make their debut and pitch their new companies—in less than five minutes with brief Q&A—in front of an audience and a panel comprised of leaders in their particular market. They also demo their products and services in a pavilion where attendees can engage more in-depth with the startups.
The DEMO companies, which come from around the world and aren’t limited by geography or focus area, are taking on big challenges and innovating in areas that range from healthcare, to workplace productivity, to wearable computing, to secure online payments and bank fraud. While I will have a more in-depth report next week on what I’m finding here, I thought I’d share three standout startups, whose teams I met with yesterday, that have devised innovative solutions to big problems:
