Wikifarmer — A free online knowledge library where professional or amateur farmers can find best practices on growing their fields more effectively and an online marketplace where farmers can sell their products to buyers directly. Our vision is to create a fair, transparent and profitable environment for all the farming world. Farmers are dedicating theirlives in cultivating their fields, but get the lowest value of all the sales cycle, so we believe they need to receive a more fair share. Buyers have the right to have more options and buy at better prices, so we want to be the ones to solve this inequality in both sides.

Avionero — Avionero is developing the next generation flight search service. This service is inspired by the vast unmet needs of modern travelers who are left frustrated and abandoned in their search for personalized flight travel options online. The existing flight search engines (e.g. Skyscanner, momondo) are based on the logic, technology and UX createdback in the ‘90s. This means that they a) are built on the predetermined assumptions about the behavior of the user (e.g. assuming that a user visiting the platform already has their travel destination and dates in mind) and b) drastically limit flight search personalisation opportunities through outdated technological frameworks. As a result, user trust in the search engines is low, while the frustration is high.Avionero is well positioned to break this paradigm. It has developed and pre-validated (TRL-6) the first prototype of the flight search service that truly puts the user in the driving seat while searching for their dream flight travel online. With the combination of powerful AI technology and an easy-to-use interface, Avionero provides a much convenient flight search service. While leaving the user in control, its smart system gives them the freedom to efficiently explore and personalize.
