Two new innovative projects win the second stage of Venture Kick
25.08.2016
Two spin-off projects of ETH Zurich won the second stage of our program in August 2016: Sound-Proof and ATANA Engineering. Both teams win CHF 20’000 each and they are now pledging CHF 100’000 more at the finals in a few months’ time! They can hopefully count on the support of the kickers camps to come up with the perfect business case and convince the Venture Kick jury.

Sound-Proof (Internet, Mobile) – ETH Zurich
Secure your data with the noise around you!
Sound-Proof checks the proximity of the user’s phone to the device being used to log in. The proximity of the two devices is verified by our AI-enhanced algorithms that compare the ambient noise recorded by their microphones. Audio recording and comparison are fast and invisible to the end-user. Sound-Proof can be easily deployed as it works with major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Edge) without plugins.
Demo available
The startup just released the Sound-Proof demo for Android. Anyone can now register on their demo page or check this link for more information.
ATANA Engineering (Smart Wardrobe Systems) (electronics, mechanics) – ETH Zurich
A new high-tech self-service wardrobe system
Smart Wardrobe Systems develops a new high-tech self-service wardrobe system which can be used at event sites, such as conference centers, fairs or malls. The product increases operational efficiency of event organizers as well as increases the user’s satisfaction and their convenience.
