The hunt for startups continues!
“DP” and the portal about startups LiveIdea have found new Internet projects that have all the chances to become powerful Runet players and press the existing market leaders.
In February, the portal VIDEOZZ.RU began broadcasting on Runet. It provides opportunities for hosting and processing video files, communication, dating. Its fundamental difference from competitors (youtube.com, rutube.ru) is in a strong social component.
By registering on the new portal, the user gets 1 GB of free space, the ability to create a detailed profile, conduct a video blog, and get acquainted with other video programs. Despite the fact that the project is in beta testing, more than 1 thousand video files have already been placed on it. A serious level of project implementation is explained by the qualifications of the authors. So, Mikhail Kirillov, who previously headed media design studio Movieclip.ru, became its technical manager. On self-sufficiency video portal is planned to withdraw in 2-3 years. In the future, it may become a serious competitor to youtube.com and rutube.ru, vkadre.ru.

The unconventional solution in the field of sms-messages is offered by the creators of the WapAlta.com project, Igor and Elena Rodionov. They decided that sending sms is more profitable if you use the Internet and email. It turns out that the user pays the mobile operator only for traffic. According to their data, the average user of the service spends about 20 rubles per month to pay for traffic. The service works on all phones with GPRS-WAP or GPRS-Internet technologies.
Igor and Elena Rodionov already have diverse experience in the field of mobile technologies (entertainment portal Mad-Love.ru, agricultural information retrieval system WebAgro.net, mobile library, etc.). “We compare favorably with ordinary startups created“ on the knee ”by a group of enthusiasts. All employees receive a stable and fairly high salary, and thus we are insured against conflicts within the team: after 3 months of work, I really want real money, but they are not there yet, ”says Igor Rodionov.
Total investments in the project amounted to more than $ 100 thousand (without attracting outside investors). Work on the creation of the service has been going on since April 2007. It is planned to monetize the project through well-focused advertising (including unique social and geographical targeting) and the introduction of additional paid services. Now more than 40 thousand people use the service.
"Business Petersburg" and the portal LiveIdea.ru will hunt for startups, using all the experience accumulated by mankind.
