Hello and welcome to Wayra UK & Wayra UnLtd,
part of the global Telefónica OpenFuture_ network.
We’re delighted that you could join us for Wayra demoDay 2015, an
annual event that brings together investors, mentors, leaders from
the business, education and voluntary sectors as well as those key
influencers from the start-up ecosystem in the United Kingdom and
across the world. You’ll hear from two such influencers on their
entrepreneurial journeys and the importance they place on diversity.
Indeed, Martha Lane Fox, Baroness of Soho, and co-founder of
lastminute.com, will be our esteemed keynote and will discuss the
vision behind Dot Everyone, a new digital institution set up to
advance the understanding and use of digital technology to deliver
prosperity and social well-being for all citizens. Likewise, exinternational football player and entrepreneur Sol Campbell will join
me on stage to discuss the importance of democratising
entrepreneurship.
It was will.i.am at Wayra demoDay 2014 who said “entrepreneurs
are the new rockstars” and spoke of the importance of finding the
“black Bill Gates.” Since then, Wayra has made meaningful steps in
promoting the benefits of diversity within the start-up ecosystem.
When we commissioned startupDNA, the first research study of its
kind to reveal the social makeup of Britain’s start-up ecosystem, we
learned that while there is a diversity deficit, start-ups are embracing
diversity. We found diversity to be a key driver in the acceleration of
start-ups, with over 78.9% declaring that it has helped their
businesses to compete and 71.5% agreeing that it helped them to
find new markets.
We also discovered that, compared to the United States,
those working in UK start-ups were five times more likely to be
female, 2.5 times more likely to be under the age of 36 and 10 times
more likely to be non-white or Asian.
This is all immensely positive and marks a significant milestone in
how we may one day be able to ‘weaponise’ our rich diversity to give
us a competitive edge very few ecosystems have.
We’re building towards that future by being an integral part of the
global Telefónica OpenFuture_ network, which supports
entrepreneurs of all backgrounds, from ideation all the way through
to the delivery of a product or service to market. To date, Open
Future has invested over 500M euros across 17 countries and
supported over 600 businesses. These include social ventures
through Wayra UnLtd, which topped the UK’s Social Incubator Fund
with over £12.5M investment raised.
We’ve also signed partnerships with major organisations that share
in our beliefs. This year alone, we launched Velocity Health with
MSD - the first preventative healthcare accelerator in the UK, signed
acceleration partnerships with Cambridge Wireless (CW) and
Oxford’s Isis Incubator, and can reveal for the first time, a new
partnership with Oldham Council to establish a digital enterprise hub
in the greater Manchester area, with the intention of strengthening
the technology corridor between the North and South of the country.
And this is just the beginning!
If you have any questions about what we’re doing, how we can
partner or how to invest in one of our start-ups, please don’t hesitate
to seek me out. I look forward to chatting with you and I hope you
spend a great day with us!

Automated device management for IoT

In the IoT, the challenges of managing connected devices at scale
become very significant. This creates unwanted costs, but more
importantly, limits a business’ ability to grow.
Automated device management is the key to controlling these costs,
and enabling the growth. This means monitoring, triage, firmware
update and SLA reporting. We call it DevicePilot.

@converge_io
Manual monitoring is a systemic problem across construction, oil and
gas, mining, manufacturing. Engineers spend hours manually
monitoring embedded sensors and analysign the data that they
produce.
Converge eliminates this problem by making wireless sensor networks
ubiquitous. It is made up of three parts: the node, the hub and the
platform. The node is a sensor agnostic device that streams data back
to the hub and platform. The platform analyses that data in real-time.
Construction, Oil and Gas, and mining are each worth trillions of
dollars. We have decided to focus on solving the concrete temperature
monitoring problem. The concrete industry is worth $500bn

Incubapps is an application development platform in
the Cloud, helping unskilled users to create, launch and
manage mobile utility apps connected to IoT easily and
effortless
INCUBAPPS
The problem. Who will build your mobile utility app? Smart entrepreneurs with
great ideas face a key decision when thinking on their utility apps. Building
them from scratch, by hiring skilled programmers or using do-it-yourself (DiY)
online services. DiY are limited due to lack of: a) native functionality, b)
customization
and c) support and guidance. Hiring talented developers
becomes a time- consuming, costly and skill-requiring process.

We want to revolutionize mobile utility applications development community
by automating code writing and standardizing processes from scratch to finish,
filling the gap between limited do-it-yourself online services and costly hiring
of skilled programmers, reducing the application development cycle, in terms
of time, skills and efforts in coding and debugging, adding connectors to
integrate mobile utility apps with IFTTT, and providing a complete, reliable
hosting solution for the apps.
The total Mobile Application Development Platform Market is expected to
grow
from $1,919.9 million in 2014 to $7,151.2 million by 2019 at a
Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 30.1% during the forecast period. In
terms of regions, NA is expected to be the biggest market in terms of market
size, whereas Europe and APAC are expected to experience increased market
traction during the forecasted period.

Social media celebrities and online community managers are always looking for
new ways to engage with and monetise their follower base. Yet, they lack
resources and skills to produce and market their own products. Existing printon-demand platforms provide low ($2-3) returns and no marketing tools to
capitalise on these emerging social commerce opportunities.

Social media is the fastest growing channel for e-commerce. Social commerce

services becoming increasingly commoditised Moteefe has a strong winning
proposition in the space of engaging and monetising social media audiences

We digitize transportation pallets to harness data from supply
chains.
PALLETECH
Pallet poolers (companies that own pallets and lease them on per-use basis)
reserve up to 15% of their sales price for manual tracking of their pallets, which
amounts to $10Bn a year. The value of lost and counterfeited cargo in pharma
alone is worth $60Bn. $45bn of sales is generated from fake automotive parts
around the globe because of poor tracking of cargo. Currently, labels and RFIDs
are used, but both are limited to scanning locations and require large
infrastructure investments.
www.palletech.co
N/A
anthony@palletech.co
PalleTech offers an infrastructure agnostic solution by seamlessly connecting the
information in industry warehouses, shop floors and fleets. Thanks to Bluetooth
Low Energy beacons implemented into the pallet, information becomes easily
collectable and available to smartphones and cloud based web apps via a mesh
sensor network. That means real time visibility (indoor and outdoor location),
custom monitoring, and alerting. In seconds, an “Industrial Internet of Pallets”
can be created.
Having spent 5 months of our product-market fit, pharma companies are our
primary target due to upcoming regulation. By 2018, 70% of the world’s medicines
will have to, by law, be tracked and traced at the pallet level. Pfizer alone has
approved $100M budget to update pallet tracing capabilities in their 350
manufacturing facilities worldwide. The upcoming spending in the pharma
industry alone is projected to be over $5Bn in coming 2 years.

Velocity Health
Women want to know how to have a healthy baby and how to live
healthily during pregnancy and beyond. The abundance of
information available is overwhelming and does not focus on the
mother, leaving her with unanswered questions about her own
fitness, nutrition, and wellbeing. Women often feel restricted rather
than enabled during this profound time.
A healthy lifestyle during pregnancy has an impact on the health of a
woman’s baby and their future development. We focus on the mother,
taking a comprehensive approach to her health and wellbeing, giving
her inspiration, information and motivation right when she needs it
most. Our ultimate goal is to help mothers live healthier and have
healthier babies.
Our target market encompasses pregnant women and new mothers
(with children under 3yo). Each year there are 40 million women in
the UK, Europe and US who fall into our market reach. Our target
consumer is the millennial mom – a woman aged 20-35 who is highly
engaged with the convenient, digital world and eager to invest in her
own health and that of her baby.
We have two revenue streams: 1) Premium content – larger portion of
revenue mix, includes online courses offered through Baby2Body
Academy for both consumers and businesses who have vested
interest in preventative health during pregnancy and beyond. 2)Ecommerce: shop diversifies revenue mix, complements user
experience and enforces brand relations.

1 Million Children die needlessly due to premature birth every
year. MOM - The Inflatable Incubator was designed to give
them a chance.
mOm
Incubators Ltd
Premature birth is now the largest killer of under 5's throughout the entire world.
This problem is relatively easily solved in the west with the use of conventional baby
incubators. However in more emerging markets, where they lack these simple pieces
of equipment, it is often a incredibly difficult and heart wrenching process for
everyone involved
www.momincubators.co
m
@momincubators
TEAM
mOm was designed to give these children a chance. mOm is a robust, electronically
controlled, inflatable incubator designed to decrease the premature death rate
throughout the entire world. Not only is mOm a fraction of the cost of conventional
incubators but can also be collapsed to a 25th of the size which both for transport and
in cramped health centres is very advantageous. mOm has been designed from the
ground up to be easily maintained, repaired and most importantly incredibly easy to
clean.
mOm is an access product. For health centres that would require and could cater for a
mOm straight away there is a potential market volume of 1.3 million units. If this was
coupled with a solar care package this number could double. This is not taking into the
account the considerable interest mOm has had in both Europe and the United States
as a transport, precautionary, evacuation and a disaster relief product.
To start all business operations and sales of mOm units will be conducted from the UK and will be
sold through NGO’s, Charities and disaster relief teams.
mOm also includes a consumable business model. Infection control is one of the biggest problems
with incubators currently. Due to our entire body having the ability to be ripped out and replaced
we can not only reduce the infection risk to 0% which cannot currently be achieved, but also
produce a cost and time saving over current methods. There will be different uptakes in developed
and emerging markets and our models take this into account.

Delivering significant data to patients and healthcare when it
matters
APARITO
A patient’s ability to walk (and its link to activity) is often examined as a way of
understanding disease progression, and the effects of new drugs. However, current
assessments used are snapshot sterile assessments during hospital visits and does not
give a full perspective of the patient’s experience. These tests are often invasive and time
consuming to complete, and do not produce clinically meaningful data linked to the
patients’ real world expreience.

@aparitohealth
TEAM
aparito is using wearable technology to passively monitor walking and activity. This is
synchronized with a mobile app, which collects additional data on four key areas of the
patient’s experience; medication adherence, healthcare usage, adverse events, and
disease specific quality of life/ PROs,
This complete data capture provides a complete overview of the patient’s condition which
is relevant to all stakeholders, patients, doctors, regulators and health technology
assessment agencies.
We are currently targeting rare diseases as this is our area of expertise, however, the
solution addresses a possible need in many other conditions.
There are over 6,000 rare diseases affecting 32 million people in Europe. 50% of which
are children. The orphan drug market is growing at a greater rate than non-orphan
designations and is expected to reach $112 billion in 2017. Each disease requires a
number of clinical trials for Market Authorisation and data collection for post marketing
surveillance.
We are a patient driven organisation committed to delivering high quality data relevant to
patients. Pharmaceuticals will commission us to set up observational trials. Once the initial
trial is complete companies can opt for subscription support. This information will be used
by pharmaceuticals in a way that aligns with patients interests and increases the quality of
treatments available. This approach has been validated with current Actelion contract in
partnership with the Niemann-Pick Association.
Elin Haf Davies began her career as a Children’s nurse. Her PhD examined new ways of
evaluating ataxia and gait in children before working at the European Medicine Agency
regulating pharma companies in their drug development plans. Ed Freed is the Chief
Operating Officer of a Creative Technology Agency and has experience building apps
(some with integrated wearables) for corporates. James Skinner has experience in drug
molecule synthesis and design elements. The team has the skills and experience required
to address the clinical and technical challenge of this project.
Aparito’s biggest achievement to date is the partnership with the Niemann-Pick disease
group, who supported us to secure a contract with Actelion Pharmaceuticals. This funded
a study at Great Ormond Street Hospital. A launch at an Actelion event in Portugal has
lead to interest from groups in AUS, GER, and HUN. Ethical and regulatory approval have
been sought and granted.
Simple, secure video calling system to connect doctors to
older patients at home.
It is incredibly hard and expensive to deliver good quality care
to older people. 40% of the health budget is spent on caring
for the oldest 13% of the population.

SpeakSet is a simple, secure video calling system that
connects doctors to older patients. It saves unnecessary
travel time, reduces hospital admissions and helps support
independence for older people to live in their own home for
longer.
Predominantly NHS and private sector care providers.
We sell a connection to an older patient in their own home for
£600 per year. Care providers can save up to £7500 per
patient per year.
Team of 5. Between us, we have 4 first class degrees (3 from
Oxbridge), experience working in B2B consultancies and the
McLaren formula one team. We have a bunch of previous
startups that have lived and died by the lean philosophy.
£135k revenue. Sold to 18 care providers. Repeatedly sold
into the NHS. Built hardware, software and consultancy tools
to make SpeakSet a practical solution for care providers.

TickerFit
Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) is a proven and cost effective evidence based secondary
prevention programme, which is offered to patients who have suffered a cardiac event
or undergone heart surgery. CR is proven to reduce a patient’s five-year mortality by
27% and hospital readmissions by 40%, yet only 14-44% of eligible patients receive this
life saving treatment. The current model of CR delivery is out-dated and does not lend
itself to scale.
http://www.tickerfit.com
TickerFit’s technology enables healthcare providers to deliver chronic disease
rehabilitation programmes remotely, thus allowing them to scale programmes to many
more patients cost effectively. TickerFit personalised interventions put the patient at the
centre of their recovery journey to drive positive behaviour change. Positive outcomes
are optimised by identifying early, those that are in need of support and by providing
communication channels for direct intervention where required.
For payers, this
ensures that resources are focused on what matters allowing for scaled delivery of
services and driving reduced readmissions.

There are over 7m people living with CVD in the UK, costing £19b/yr. CVD causes
approximately 160,000 deaths annually in the UK - more than ¼ of all deaths (BHF,
2015). In 2013, 37,000 patients failed to receive CR due to lack of availability and
accessibility of programmes. The NHS has explicitly stated that they aim to increase
CR uptake to 65% nationwide (currently 14-44% by location). In the USA, the situation
is similar with CVD costs at $444 billion, 14m eligible CR patients and a very low
20-30% uptake rate.
TEAM
TickerFit licences its platform to hospital departments and private clinics. TickerFit
offers a £60 per patient licence model in addition to our volume based plans which are
tailored to the larger volumes in hospital departments.
In either case, health
professionals access the TickerFit web platform to customise interventions that are then
delivered to their patients via our free mobile applications. In addition to platform
licencing, TickerFit integrates bespoke and 3rd party patient educational materials and
for this charges additional fees.
