WikiSocium is a proposed online platform to provide solutions to social problems through a wiki-style collection of step-by-step instructions. It aims to create a knowledge base of answers to "what can I do?" questions on issues like housing, utilities, roads, consumer rights and law. The platform would make social engagement as simple and convenient as possible to motivate more people and allow the knowledge base to grow through wiki mechanisms. It faces challenges in developing functionality, usability, and virality to become a scalable solution. The founders are seeking sponsorship to develop a full-featured version over the next 6 months at an estimated cost of 1.5 million rubles.

The Starlook.Ru project is a Russian social shopping site for women. Users generate most of the site's content by searching for, discussing, and sharing opinions on beauty products. The site aims to help women make informed shopping decisions. It features expert recommendations alongside user reviews and editorial content. With over 1 million registered users, the site is growing rapidly in part due to a partnership with the Mail.Ru Group. The site generates revenue through advertising and by allowing brands to feature their products in the site's catalog.
1. Estonia has developed a highly secure and functioning e-state over the past 20 years, with citizens routinely using e-services for elections, taxes, police, healthcare, banking, and school.
2. Skype, developed in Estonia, has become an internationally recognized word, responsible for almost 10% of international calling minutes. Estonia provides an innovative and cost-effective environment for developing technologies.
3. Estonia aims to provide e-solutions that support citizens throughout their lives, from child subsidies and school to theater tickets, jobs, doctors appointments, and pensions. Most forms and applications are available electronically, freeing citizens' time.

2. Strava.com – социальная сеть велосипедистов US3.5M в январе 2011 Краткая информация Website www.strava.com Сотрудников 10 Основана 2009 Краткое описание Социальная сеть для велосипедистов/спортсменов Раунд А ( Series A) 3.5 млн. долл. в январе 2011 Бизнес-модель Freemium, есть платные аккаунты
3. Мнение инвесторов – аналог strava.com в России вряд ли интересен Технология Рынок Бизнес-модель Локализуемость Технология не сложна, повторить ее в России можно быстро Вряд ли в России есть рынок для такого проекта. Велосипедистов немного. Вряд ли платная модель в таком виде подойдет для России. Рекламодателей для такого проекта может быть немного Реализация возможна, проект наберет небольшую аудиторию, но большого будущего за аналогом Strava.com в России не видно. Инвестиции поздним инвесторам в такой проект неинтересны
