Welcome
On behalf of Wayra, I would like to welcome you
to the Wayra UK and Wayra UnLtd demoDay 2014. I
would also like to extend our thanks and appreciation
to HRH The Duke of York, whose Pitch@Palace
initiative celebrates entrepreneurship throughout the
UK and across the world.
We are also very excited
to welcome global music artist,
entrepreneur and philanthropist,
will.i.am, to the Wayra UK
Academy. He is no stranger to
technology, given his role as Intel’s
Director of Creative Innovation and
as one of the first equity partners
in Beats. We look forward to
will.i.am’s fireside chat outlining the
importance of STEM and digital
literacy in young people.
Brodnock, who as well as being a
mother of five, is teaching children
social and emotional skills
through her start-up Karisma
Kidz, which won this year’s
coveted Intel Challenge award.
In many ways, today
is a dual celebration. On the
one hand, we’ll celebrate the
evolution of the 26 start-ups that
have successfully completed
this most recent acceleration
cycle; on the other, we will
welcome 29 start-ups into the
Wayra family (including 2 from
Saudi Arabia). All of our start-ups

reflect that the UK has positioned
itself as a global centre for
start-up founders of diverse
backgrounds from around the
world who are all helping to
create what HRH The Duke of
York has described as a ‘culture
of enterprise’. The creation of
new jobs and economic growth
will depend on people like Alain
Falys, CEO of Yoyo, who this
week accompanied the Mayor
of London, Boris Johnson, to
Malaysia to showcase London’s
£20Bn FinTech sector before
finalising the first pan-Asian
mobile payments and loyalty app
with AirAsia.

Cabinet Office and UnLtd. As
part of Telefónica, we believe in
open innovation and in an Open
Future for all, and I, for one, am
proud to count upon the support
of such illustrious collaborators,
supporters and partners.
Finally, a sincere thank you
to the incredible staff at Wayra
and Telefónica, who demonstrate
on a daily basis that we can all
be entrepreneurs, even while
working for one of the biggest
companies in the world. And
most importantly, thank you to
our start-ups, whose infectious
passion makes this the best job
in the world.
We also have to give
a special ‘shout-out’ to our
mentors and coaches whose
selfless support has pushed our
start-ups to excellence. Similarly,

PROBLEM
PROBLEM
The archaically paper-based school admissions process
for both schools and parents. Applyed will also allow
parents to find the best education for their children.
Access to healthcare in developing countries is
expensive and sporadic, meaning most people will
not visit a doctor during their lifetime. Ironically, 3G
connectivity is abundant, which facilitates access to
Doutissima’s online health and beauty forum.

PROBLEM
PROBLEM
Mobile advertising is intrusive, often irrelevant and largely
ignored. Click through rates are incredibly low - the
industry average is just 0.27%.
Some people don’t respond to prescribed medications while
others suffer from side effects. This ill-conceived approach
costs the NHS more than £2Bn every year, and around 10k
patients are killed due to negligent prescriptions. A ‘one-sizefits-all’ approach costs significant amounts of money, and in
the gravest circumstances, lives.

One-click websites for everyone. Websites are built
around the customer’s existing online content and
powered by their social media accounts.

PROBLEM
PROBLEM
40% of small businesses that invest in online marketing
don’t have a proper online presence. Without a website,
businesses are not listed by search engines and their
potential customers cannot find them.
Busking will die out in a cashless society: no cash, no
buskers. Simple. They are also increasingly criminalised
worldwide (not just in London or New York).
