Jenks Guo, Partner Solutions Lead at Linktree
How to Web Conference 2015 brings together 1000+ startup founders, product managers, developers, marketers & community leaders from all around the CEE. Beyond high-quality content, including case studies and hands-on talks on different topics, the attendees have great networking opportunities by connecting with the who’s who in the regional tech industry and they get to feel the vibe of the CEE startupe cosystem at its best.
Few countries can boast having a third of its GDP stored as mobile money in the hands of a telecom group. There is no miracle in the rise of MPesa, but a deep understanding by Safaricom of the social fabric of East Africa’s tech and economic hub, as well as a lots of test and try. The lure of mobile money have lots of startups competing into this space, to connect remittances, shopping and payments to the MPesa infrastructure. Other than that, Kenya is also experiencing a double motion in its innovation ecosystem: if it’s definitely a community-driven startup hub, its government is also playing a key role through laws and pharaonic projects.

How is the world changed with web2.0? We review key pardigm, issues, and businesses. Some of points are touched for web2.0 business strategy. This presentation was orginally prepafered for Samsung SDS.
Microblogging is synonymous with twitter, or at least it seems that way. In reality Facebook and many other social networking environments have adopted this communication paradigm extremely successfully.
The question really is how does this play in the enterprise space? Ian McNairn will discuss how IBM has adapted to this social computing phenomenon and exploits it internally extensively.
He will look at some of the reasons behind the exponential growth in activity as well as the tools and clients being used both within and outside IBM.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

ShoutEm - It's alright to pivot
1. ShoutEm story It’s alright to pivotLuka AbrusFive Minutes CEOShoutEm Member of the board 1
2. How it all started. Five Minutes development team Web development company, 2 guys Product oriented at first - Pticica, Trosjed… Standard issues with local market In a nutshell, too low ROI Custom mobile & web apps Service oriented Global product developed in parallel 2
3. First steps. Two key motivators Google Android and Ning platform Huge potential for Mobile Social Networking? First idea: “Mobile Ning” (without the mobile) Anyone can create their own community Schools, sport clubs, companies… Twitter simplicity Web-only microblogging Launched on LeWeb 2008 3
5. (No) Funding. How to continue the development? Finance it internally from other projects 5 people team / company Working weekends, holidays, long hours… Number of users rising, but no money Trying to find VC’s and large customers “Invest in lines, not in dots” 5
6. First pivot. Technology oriented – move to mobile Smartphone platform growth ShoutEmApp – unified app for all communities Year 2009 – year of learning Networking, development, pitches, competitions Number of users growing – freemium model No conversion from free to paid, no profitability 6
8. Epiphanies. Three of them! People are willing to pay for their branded apps One blog post briefly mentioned customized apps Huge interest – we picked a few & built them Community management crucial for success Examined 30.000+ networks on ShoutEm, very few active Build networks around existing sites and content Majority of mobile apps are pretty similar Huge interest for mobile apps – 400.000+ in iTunes Typical costs 10-50k USD News, Events, Community, Location, Podcasting, Photos, Videos… 8
9. Idea. Pivot. Investment. Second pivot was business oriented What if we could… Create a standardized app that fits 75% needs Sell it for 50-100$ per month Do it as a self-service model and scale it Build on top of current code base RSG Kapital investment, VC from Ljubljana They monitored us for two years Five Minutes team grew to 25 people 100% YoY growth, worldwide clients 1.2m USD funding in August 2010 9 VC funding
12. How did we use the investment? Opened up London and New York offices Hired sales representatives (Seedcamp network) Boost up the development Optimizing features, user experience, process… Hiring only the best And “restructuring” the rest Speed up the sales process Enterprise and lighthouse customers Self-service is good, but… 12
13. Today. Five Minutes 35 people, services &product business ShoutEm Sales. Sales. Sales. New York! 10 people Series B? 13
14. Pivoting 101 Everyone does it. YouTube, Nokia, 3M, Twitter, PayPal, Flickr, Seesmic… Natural process of evolution. Everyone will doubt you. The team. The partners. The community. You. 14
