Let's see which startup companies belong to the very top of the "startup moguls" worth more than one billion US dollars.
Scoutee is a Slovenian baseball speedometer, which recently started its Kickstarter company, with which it wants to raise 50 thousand US dollars to start production. The start is encouraging, but the ball is round, as they say, so the team must not chill the champagne yet. It is a radar device that measures the speed of the ball used in baseball (it is expected to measure other types of balls in the future), and their target group in the first phase is aspiring baseball players as well as coaches.
We talked to Dejan Roljič, the director of the ABC accelerator, who in the last two years has thoroughly ventilated the Slovenian start-up scene and has already helped many companies in the beginning of their global journeys. After recently setting up an accelerator in Munich, an office in Silicon Valley is opening its doors these days. But it seems that this is only the beginning of an extremely ambitious global story.
Rok's Peanut Butter is a new Slovenian product that found its way onto Kickstarter. The peanut butter, which is based on a unique recipe and is free of additional salt, preservatives and oils, was signed by 28-year-old Slovenian Rok Starič. The latter is no stranger to butter production, but the demand for his healthy product exceeded the supply, so he turned to a crowdfunding platform for help, where he is raising start-up funds to produce a grinder for finely grinding peanuts.
Technological knowledge, i.e. knowledge of computing and informatics, has never been more important for an entrepreneur than it is today. Today, for modern start-up entrepreneurship, business and management skills that enable mastering strategies and the business environment are far from sufficient. An entrepreneur must be innovative and creative, have a knack for dealing with employees, and cannot defend himself even with knowledge of corporate finance. To this must now be added appropriate technical knowledge such as knowledge of a programming language, mastery of website optimization and web programming, knowledge of creating a website skeleton (wireframe),... Which other necessary skills for modern start-up entrepreneurship are still important, but you are faithful in continuation.
