This year’s Bootstrap Alley at Tech in Asia Jakarta 2017 saw a total of 308 unique exhibiting startups. From ecommerce, to fintech and SaaS, we had startups from 39 verticals showcasing their products to more than 5,000 attendees over two days on November 1 & 2.
There were definitely plenty to check out, and here’s seven of our favourites.
UShift (Day 1)
An on-demand staffing platform for workers looking for short-term contract jobs, UShift matches businesses with workers seeking temporary jobs. Once candidates sign up and answer questions pertaining to their experience, education and availability, their profiles are put in ‘pending’ mode. These prospective employees are added to the roster only after UShift’s team verifies them.
One of the issues UShift aims to solve for short-term hires is workforce quality, as many do not turn up for work despite agreeing to a particular task beforehand. If happened with a registered UShift worker, they will be blacklisted from the site permanently. Whether you’re a business looking for short-term hires, or someone looking for flexible work opportunities, UShift may just be for you.
Airable (Day 2)
On average, face masks have to be thrown away every two to three days. In addition to creating waste, the costs added up is high as well. With Airable, the way we use masks may soon change. A piece of paper acts as the filter, and instead of replacing the entire mask, one simply needs to change the filter paper.
Masks are linked to the Airable app, which keeps users informed of details such as the current air quality index and the amount of hours to go before they’d have to change the filter. You’d even know the amount of days the mask has added to your lifespan!
Me-lody (Day 2)
If you love singing in the shower, and always had a dream of being a rockstar, Me-lody may just make your dream come true. As a talent search platform, Me-lody aims to connect music labels to talents such as vocalists and guitarists.
Record live from your phone, and with a click of the button, upload those videos onto Me-lody. The community of users on the app are able to react to the videos, and music labels can also reach out to talents on the platform.
Sticar (Day 2)
Sticar is a technology startup which aims to disrupt the offline advertising industry. With their on-demand offline advertising platform, vehicles are transformed into mobile billboards. If businesses wish to target a specific location where its target audience exists, Sticar is able to deploy advertisements to cars located at those regions.
