JFDI Asia Graduates its First Batch of Startups

It was just 100 days ago when JDFI unveiled its first batch of startups at JFDI-Innov8 2012 Bootcamp. Today the inaugural batch of eleven startups officially graduates at JFDI demo day, down one from the original twelve. It also marks the end of the intensive 100-day acceleration programme where the startups have received seed funding, guidance, and mentorship from industry experts.

Here’s the list of the JFDI startup graduates from the bootcamp today:

1. ShopSpot: We’ve previously covered this startup, which has also recently raised angel funding. ShopSpot is an awesome C2C mobile commerce app which aims to simplify buying and selling into three simple steps: snap, tag, and sell.
2. Kark Mobile Education: Kark is a B2C “edutainment” tablet game platform which uses collectible QR cards to help children ages five to twelve to learn with its apps. It has also received investment from Jakarta-based incubator, Ideosource.
3. Tradegecko: This is a B2B web application for brands to transact with retailers in a social and engaging way. The entire supply chain management process – inventory, orders, invoices, and payments – are all integrated into one system, which allows greater transparency between brands and retailers, and better promotes efficiency. They’re giving small and medium businesses the power to manage their chains like Wal-Mart.
4. Remember: I really like the Remember app. It is a B2C iPhone app that allows you to create, curate, and celebrate memories. It makes it simple to document precious moments with your family in a time capsule, and you can also easily share them with your loved ones.
5. FamilyKo: In the Phillipines, when they say “family ko”, it means “my family”. As the name suggests, it is a B2C application that aims to stimulate an environment on multiple platforms for families located in different parts of the world to communicate and explore cool things together.
6. Flocations: You may remember the Flocation boys from their pitch at Startup Asia Singapore. It is a B2C web travel service that allows users to search for places you can visit on an interactive map. It automatically geolocates the user, and using the price slider, users can see what you can do within your specified budget. The startup also appeared on Angel’s Gate, where they chose to turn down funding in the end.
7. Fetch Plus: This is a B2B social media page builder that aims to create and maintain brand pages on Facebook. It give brand franchises with local businesses control and analytics, as they engage social media, which maximizes impact for all their franchisees.
8. Trafflers: This B2C web service recognises that there’s a huge untapped opportunity when it comes to discovery and planning vacations with friends. It aims to make planning group vacations easy, and increase the frequency and size of group travel bookings online.
9. Stubb: The B2B document sharing service aims to make it easy for people to publish and share documents online. Instead of going through the hassle of asking for a softcopy when you receive a hardcopy, there will be a virtual printer driver that automatically uploads hardcopies to the cloud. Each hardcopy has a QR code stamp, and when you scan it you’ll be taken to the online PDF softcopy version.
10. Wildby: This is an iPhone encyclopedia app that allows lets children aged 5 to 12 years old to verbally search for things that they are curious about, share their findings with family and friends, and get feedback from their loved ones as well. It allows children to surf for more information in a safe and fun manner.
    
11. TribeHired: TribeHired is a social recruitment platform for fast-growing startups. It depends on the element of trust, and aims to refer your friends to suitable employers, matching jobseekers to jobs. After all, we all look to friends as the one of the better sources of referrals when it comes to recruitment.

Congratulations to all startups who have graduated. We hope to feature more of them moving forward, so be sure to check back with us soon!
