Tyrone, we will make a plan! Let me know if you need any help. I'll send you a mail and give you a call sometime once I have your details.

Do you want to let us know here what the criteria is for the startups (why such late notice)?

Tim

Hey Tyrone, How can we help ?

What if you me and Tim make sure we again showcase to Jason the best Silicon Cape can offer in-spite of  the short notice and all.

I'm sure we (TheBarn) can help by sponsoring the venue and connectivity for the broadcast and along with Tim and the community get the Start-Ups infront of Jason next Friday evening.

Gimme a shout !

Hi Tyrone,

There is a new startup called GutFeel.co.za on the market. Check it out, the idea behind it is to express your opinion to influence the way brands do business and advertise whilst earning money.  GutFeel was featured on 5FM yesterday and has already made a splash.  In beta phase at the moment, but expecting BIG things!

Thanks,

Monique

Hi Tyrone,

I am sure you'd easily get quality start ups to represent Cape Town. Do you have clarity in terms of the criteria? etc.

I'd not only be keen to present my own baby, I'm available to help with organizing and such.

Let us know,

Cheers

Hi Tyrone

Here is our story in short.
Livebids.co.za is a very unique online social market place with 3 buying & selling formats.
That was built from the ground up.

We started about 2 1/2 years ago in 2009 with the idea to create an online market place that will help buyers and sellers fully connect in trade while being rewarded.  Paul von Hoesslin & Rory Vollmer (Co-founders), It soon became a reality in 2012 & soon thousands of online products will be sold and bought every day.

LiveBids market place has 3 selling formats: Auctions, PayPerBid, Group Buying.  

The first model Auction is based on the traditional format where items are sold to the highest bidder and the second model Group buying is similar to that currently utilized by Groupon, Pay Per Bid rounds up our service as the only site to offer all three models on one platform.

Pay Per Bid aims to empower online sellers by giving them an opportunity to make massive profits while giving buyers products at prices way below cost up to 85% off.

This is how the Pay per bid selling model works: Sellers can sell products to buyers up to 85% off. Buyers pay R4 for every bid made, with 1 credit equaling the value of R4. Sellers place their product online in which they stipulate a start and end date. The timer counts down and the auction closes when it reaches zero. For every bid that is made by a buyer, the winning amount increments by 0.01 cent when the timer reaches the last few seconds and a bidder bids it will up the end time by 15 seconds. For every bid, the seller will make R3.

Here is an example: A seller places a 1TB External Hard Drive on Livebids pay per bid for Buyers to win. She/he set their cost of the bid at R4. If the item sells for R20.00 the buyer will only pay the R20.00 to the seller, plus shipping. R20 X 100 will equal the amount of bids placed. 2000 bids X R3 a bid.  The seller will make R6000 from this pay per bid sale. So, buyers can win items at a very low cost and sellers can make huge profits!

Livebids is the future of online selling and buying.

Let me know!
Thank you
