First price :
IntelClinic (Poland) – How often have you wished to have more time? Intelclinic helps people gain more time by lowering amount of sleep they need to be refreshed and regenerated. We created NeuroOn – the world’s first brainwaves monitoring SLEEP MASK – allowing to switch from monophasic to polyphasic sleep, meaning you sleep less and more efficiently. www.intelclinic.com

SocialSafe (UK) – SocialSafe is a social media organiser that enables users to take ownership and control of their social media interactions, downloading and keeping a complete record of everything, aggregating it together in one place. SocialSafe’s positioning is unique as users’ data is stored privately in their own local personal data stores, making it fully compliant with the major social networks’ Terms of Service regarding data storage by third-parties. www.socialsafe.net
Third price :
Flinja (USA) – Flinja targets the college demographic missed by LinkedIn. 53% of recent college grads are finding themselves under or unemployed, yet there are millions of jobs left unfilled. Flinja solves this by providing a platform where students can gain skills and build relevant work experience completing paid projects while in school. Employers, in turn, have quick, easy access to local and national talent they can test out before hiring. www.flinja.com
