PrawnBurgers serves Asian food in McDonald's-style burgers

StartupRealities No 139

PrawnBurgers is an Asian fusion takeaway restaurant chain that prepares Asian-type food in a McDonald's-type format. The company makes burgers buns out of rice flour and instead of beef patty uses various prawn, fish, seafood and Beijing duck burger fillings.

CEO QUOTE
"Asian food has always been associated with eat-out-of-a-bowl dishes. This traditionally applies even to takeout and fast-food Asian restaurant chains. We are the first to ever offer the convenience of a McDonald's burger with the taste, flavour and ingredients of Asian cuisine," said PrawnBurgers founder and CEO Prairie Burgess.

TeamStream forms online teams led by virtual avatars

Image
StartupRealities No 26 TeamStream is a virtual team-forming platform that groups together people to carry out group activities online, under the supervision of an avatar as a virtual team leader. The platform brings together people with common interests, e.g. patients who need to do physiotherapy exercises, and who would benefit from the peer support of a group and the pace-setting done for a whole team. An avatar performs the role of team leader in order to minimise the potential for interpersonal conflict among virtual team members. Teams are optimised to include people with similar level of skill or expertise in a given area, e.g. a painting club for beginners or a Nitzsche book club for philosophy graduates. CEO SAYS "TeamStream helps a million armies do a million things entirely online. Most people couldn't even get started without the pace-setting of our virtual avatars and the peer support of the group," company founder and CEO Tina Strong said in an interview...

SparringWithExtroverts allocates a coach to extroverts to help them think and act through discussion

Image
StartupRealities No 84 SparringWithExtroverts is a coaching and task management company which provides extrovert executives a "sparring partner" to discuss and talk through work projects. The conversations help the executives move forward in thinking and acting on the projects in a disciplined and timely way. CEO QUOTE "Without someone to talk through issues, extroverts struggle to maintain a steady work pace. This is particularly true of 'bitty' projects that contain multiple small tasks to perform and many small decisions to make. Both introverts and extroverts benefit from going into a 'flow' mode of deep concentration for a long period of uninterrupted focus on an important task. However, for tasks that involve frequent interruptions, extroverts benefit from this type of 'sparring conversation partner'. Of course, the sparring partner is not needed every day of the week: we help our clients segment their project work so that the appropri...

BirdTagger automates putting rings on wild birds

Image
StartupRealities No 47 BirdTagger is a producer of automated bird ringing equipment installed on bird feeders. The bird-tagger fastens a band or ring around a bird's leg while it is feeding or resting at a feeder, without the need for catching the wild bird. The company participates in large-scale scientific studies and some military research projects. TECHNOLOGY BirdTagger uses sets of dozens of tension springs installed on the rim of a bird feeder on which birds step while feeding. The activation mechanism resembles that of a mouse trap: the weight of the bird's leg on the rim releases a single spring, which wraps around the bird's leg and clasps tightly on both ends to form a sealed ring or band . The spring-based ring contains an RFID tag that responds to signals from transponders on the ground. The rim mechanism can sense when a bird already has an RFID ring installed and does not release a new spring on birds that have already been banded. The metal spring in the...
