Noahs conference 2013

Not so long ago in November 2013 NOAH conference took place in London. Together with the team we had a booth there and showcased Flick a Trade. Noah, according to their website is

The preeminent European event where Internet CEOs, executives and investors gain deep insights into the latest proven concepts, network with senior executives and establish new business relationships.

And sure it is one of the highest profile events, we had our app running on iPads so anyone interested could have a try. It was a pleasure hearing all the compliments, people were just wowing and it was a hit, everybody wanted to try.

I was fortunate enough to meet some of the highest profile VCs and people who are at the edge of innovation and are C level decision makers.

Our CEO, Kerem Ozelli was presenting app during Pitch session, you can check the video here:

he covers almost all of the main topics that we stand for.

Conference also had some other very interesting talks out of which I enjoyed mostly interview with Oliver Samwer from European Founders

some pictures to illustrate it:

Thats the iPad version of the app that everyone tried 

thats happy me next to our fantasy markets, fine example of Galvorn, Kryptonite and such

The conference was a blast and I can't wait until next year.

Flick a trade

For the last 6months I was working together with Cygnecode (London based technology company) on a Flick A Trade a mobile trading game that gives you access to real markets with realtime prices.
Together with wonderful team in London I've been working on UI and UX on this project, the final touch was this short video:

Every day millions of people try their luck at casino tables, bet on sporting events and play chance games online—all of which offer worse odds of winning than trading. Financial trading, though, presents considerable barriers to entry: Would-be market participants need access via brokers, banks or retail trading firms; they need knowledge about how markets move and how to benefit from those shifts; and they need not insignificant amounts of disposable time and cash. Because of these barriers, trading is like a thrilling roller coaster that many people just aren't tall enough to ride.

"Flick a trade" offers all the excitement of the financial fair ground without any of the risk. The game is designed to be intuitive and fun so that complete novices are up and trading with fantasy funds within minutes. Beginners and pros alike enjoy fast access to 70+ live markets—commodities, indices or currencies—24/5. They can play anywhere from their smart phone, using simple, familiar gestures—drag and drop, pinch and zoom, fold and tap, swipe and flick—to create watch lists, interact with charts and place trades.
