TravelTime Technologies

TravelTime Technologies

Crunchbase Website Twitter Facebook Linkedin

The TravelTime platform locates, ranks & sorts points of interest by travel time, not distance. Consumer-facing websites or apps can access the platform via an API, then their users can find the geographic content they want, using the travel time and transport mode of their choice.

For example, an estate agent’s site can ‘show suitable houses within 45 minutes commute by public transport, to arrive by 09.00’ and a restaurant site could ‘show restaurants within a 20 minute walk of my hotel’. TravelTime typically doubles the number of relevant results, when compared to a ‘within X miles’ distance-based search.

iGeolise was formed in 2009 when Charlie had the idea that it was more useful to find content on the web by the time it takes to travel there, rather than by distance. Since then, Charlie and our team of smart developers have built the TravelTime platform that ‘turns distance into time’..

WhenFresh specialises in refining, crafting and publishing your digital assets; even those you might not consider to be assets. We take data in any kind of shape and turn it into data that can be monetised.

If you ask “Why WhenFresh?” to our team the answer is the same: we joined WhenFresh to be part of a company that is passionate about disrupting the conventional ways people look at and use data. We’ve brought together the brightest minds from companies like lastminute.com, Swiftcover, Microsoft, Tesco.com & MoveMe.com, to support a common goal—to enable our customers to unleash the power of their digital exhaust..

Our technology is p2p network platforms and protocol first – protocol suite, software that implements those protocols and provides client software and infrastructure for p2p networks. Its based on Ethereum and we call it Autonity – the protocol, the Geth-based client.

We use our technology to build p2p networks and dFMI. P2p networks are private, member-owned and governed networks that enable peer-to-peer transfer of financial value and automation of contractual and fiduciary operations without reliance on trusted third-parties.

Such decentralised networks can interact with one another, creating a wider ecosystem of value and leveraging the network effect, and they can form part of a dFMI. dFMI is a new concept, one that builds on the security and resilience guarantees of distributed ledger and systems engineering to provide a platform for tokenising value and transferring its ownership between participants on that or, by cross-platform exchange, on other platforms.

We believe that our technology will drive adoption of a next-generation dFMI where intermediaries are removed, incentive structures encourage self-regulation, and risks are mitigated and reduced to the maximum. dFMI doesn’t just provide a cryptographically secure environment for market participants to transact, it provides a peer-to-peer model that removes financial intermediaries and engenders a wider ecosystem for value transfer across platforms and pre- post-trade processes.

reboxed isn’t your average recommerce company. We are a combination of technology, branding, and environmental impact – an on-demand platform for businesses and people to sell, swap and shop for used tech because we believe great tech shouldn’t cost the Earth.

Our obsession with having the latest smartphone the second it drops is creating mountains of e-waste. Why? One, it’s too much hassle to sell.

Two, refurbished phones have a bad rep. Until now.

We refurbish and rebox used devices into premium phones – making it easier, faster, and more trustworthy. So fewer perfectly good phones go to waste.

And one by one, we can save millions more from landfill. Our circular business model – rebox, rehome, repeat – isn’t just designed to give our customers better value, but make a positive impact on the environment and society.

We don’t just reward people for reboxing. We reward the planet by planting 10 trees every time we buy or sell a device and paying to offset each phone’s lifetime CO2 emissions, which helps to fund a whole range of projects to cut CO2.

It is frequently unclear when and where data about them is being captured or used and when it is, they are being compensated poorly or not at all and have to trust the companies using it to keep it private. Yet, much of the world is fuelled by person-based data — from social and marketing research to advertising, finance, and insurance — data about individuals and populations drives everything from product development to public policy.

Measure democratizes access to accurate data about individuals and populations while allowing people to maintain sovereignty over their data. Measure does this by introducing a new blockchain-based protocol that facilitates the network and infrastructure to form a marketplace.

On one side of the market are individuals who contribute data by completing tasks, surveys or providing access to data sources such as health and location data. On the other side are buyers of person-based data, such as marketers, researchers and advertisers.

Between them is software and a public blockchain that allows buyers to interact directly with individuals in a way that protects the privacy of the individual, incentivizes accuracy, and provides transparency around data usage and payment. A primary goal of the protocol is to maximize the supply of accurate, representatively sampled data about individuals.

It features a simple, standardized pricing model indexed by scarcity and complexity, a reputation system for both buyers and contributors that encourages efficient survey design and good faith participation, and a set of economic incentives to encourage data reuse.. .
