‘XELERATION
Since the launch of the program last year, Xeleration has
attracted the attention from many startups from around the
country. Startups applied via www.xeleraiton.xyz to stand a
chance to be selected to the next phase and 10 out of 100
applicants made their investment pitching to a team from
Infocomm Investment who flew into Sri Lanka end-last
month.
Wifyer is the smartphone application behind the world’s first
crowd sourced mobile Wifi network. It is a revolutionary
way of sharing one’s mobile hotspot ensuring connectivity
to data seekers where ever he/she may be in the world,
whilst rewarding the sharers of mobile data. This is done by
utilising the concept of sharing economy. Wifyer is patented
and will soon be available on iOS, Windows and as desktop
clients. Representing for Xeleration is Suren Pinto – CEO.
The startups were asked on why they should be sent for the
program and what made their startup unique. The global
exchange program in Singapore is an opportunity for
startups to expand into global markets, get mentored by some
of the finest entrepreneurs across the globe and showcase
their startup to international investors. After challenging
considerations and decisions, Infocomm Investment selected
the five startups for the final Global Exchange program.
They are as follows:
