Riverflow: Revolutionizing Blockchain Data
One standout startup in this batch is Riverflow, created by Hexa’s web3 startup studio, 3founders. This innovative data orchestration startup specializes in blockchain data. Riverflow enables users to extract information from smart contracts, blockchain transactions, and wallet addresses. With the ability to manipulate and transfer this data to various destinations such as data warehouses, analytics tools, or business intelligence platforms, Riverflow empowers data analysts to leverage blockchain data in unprecedented ways.
Okko: Streamlining Procurement
In a surprising move, Okko takes on the complex world of procurement processes. As many tech founders seek cost-cutting measures, Okko aims to overhaul procurement tools. By integrating with existing systems like Oracle NetSuite, Okko modernizes the vendor portal and interface to simplify and enhance the procurement experience. This enables companies to effectively manage spending and gain a comprehensive view of their procurement activities.
Catalog: Transforming B2B Wholesale Ordering
Catalog, as the name suggests, revolutionizes B2B wholesale ordering. This SaaS tool centralizes product information on a dedicated website, transforming traditional Excel-based catalog sharing. By integrating online orders directly into a company’s ERP system, Catalog optimizes recurring orders, introduces new product launches, and enables promotions, simplifying the B2B wholesale ordering process.
RingX: Unlocking Corporate Knowledge
RingX, still operating under a codename, focuses on connecting professionals seeking the right resources to learn new skills with experienced individuals who have encountered similar challenges. This peer-to-peer platform facilitates knowledge-sharing among professionals from different companies, fostering collaboration and promoting continuous learning.
Kiosk: Enhancing WhatsApp Business
Kiosk, a SaaS startup built on top of WhatsApp Business, empowers companies to leverage the messaging platform more efficiently. Offering features beyond the standard capabilities of WhatsApp, Kiosk enables companies to acquire new customers through chatbot-like funnels and provide customer support through integrated help desk, CRM, and e-commerce platform solutions. Ultimately, Kiosk aims to enhance customer communication and support through the popular messaging app.
Tengo: Streamlining French Public Tenders
Tengo, the final startup in this batch, focuses on centralizing all French public tenders. This tool is particularly valuable for companies heavily reliant on public tenders for revenue generation. By utilizing AI/LLM technology, Tengo identifies public tenders and assists businesses in responding to both public and private tenders, streamlining the bidding process and eliminating missed opportunities.
