1:30–2:15 "One Word Domain" Contest Announced

This exciting contest will let start-up entrepreneurs pitch ideas for Internet companies, built around one of the high-profile domains in World Accelerator's portfolio.



2:30–3:00 Andrew Cronk, TempoDB

TempoDB is the first database service for time series data (ex: measuring thermostat temperatures, network latencies, heart rates). Time series is a unique Big Data problem that breaks traditional databases (MySQL, MongoDB, etc). Today, businesses spend months and millions attempting to build solutions to manage all this data and yet still fail to store as much as they need or analyze it effectively. TempoDB is a purpose-built database service that enables businesses to store and analyze massive streams of time series data, so they can learn from the past, understand the present, and predict the future.

TempoDB applied to the TechStars Cloud accelerator program to gain the resources necessary to build their business and were accepted into the inaugural class. Andrew will tell their story.
