After a busy week, it’s time for us to tell you about our crazy adventures during CES 2019! As a reminder, our startup has been selected by the AD’OCC, an economic development agency in Occitania, the region in the South of France from which we come. It was a huge opportunity as a company in the cryptocurrency sector to have been selected to exhibit at the CES, especially since they are not well received in the USA! We had excellent feedback on Daneel, especially on our news curation system, which is of great interest to the banking sector. The detection of fake news is becoming more and more popular for professionals in the field, to believe that a lot of investors have been screwed! Education is also a key feature of Daneel that attracts the interest of large groups.

We were present in Eureka Park which is the buzzworthy startup arena that provides a unique opportunity to launch a new product, service or idea.

American-style investor presentation!

Our week began on a high note with the Silicon Valley Funding Summit and MatchFEST where Joseph presented Daneel to dozens of investors eager for new projects. He presented the solution in a general way while insisting on the atypical path of our startup and the steps already taken. The various projects have been examined in detail, we will know more in the coming weeks.

Direct media impact

The CES is a high-profile event but it is very difficult for a startup to stand out from the crowd. However we are very happy to have been included in various French publications here below. This is without counting the next publications and interviews we are responding to in recent days.

We are also present in the live of the Youtuber Bitsbetrippin channel during an interview. His community could ask his questions live about Daneel, it was very enriching. Talking about Youtubers, the famous French Blockchain expert, Hasheur , also came to see us, beautiful projects are being discussed with him!

Large groups have gravitated around us

Several delegations from major French banking groups visited our stand, and we hope the feedback will be promising, but we already know that there is a real interest in Daneel in this segment. We have already confirmed with a first B2B contract that banks are very interested in the educational aspect of Daneel but this is not to mention their need to stay up to date with the market and have a quality news feed! Daneel seems to be the perfect solution to meet their needs by providing news curation and real time data. Meetings will follow in France with a demonstration by Daneel.

We also met with our future business partners, Cryptohopper which allow the user to automate his trades based on indicators or signalers. We discussed how to integrate Daneel’s unique indicators within their system. We concluded that our market sentiment and our newsfeed would bring added value to their users. They will be able to buy Daneel’s market sentiment in the marketplace in order to configure their trading bot. Imagine being able to trade with a special indicator from Daneel where the price can overlap with market sentiment? Nice, huh? This will probably be possible very soon. We are also discussing how to integrate the full widget inside the platform. Daneel was the missing element that will allow Cryptohopper to stand out from the competition!

So, what to remember about this show?

Our first steps in the US are timid but concrete, we have raised the interest of investors and 2 startup incubators for the American territory, one in California and one in Nevada. This opens new perspectives and allows us to already have contacts on the spot. Since the US represents half of the crypto market, our presence there will be more than necessary. Our presence at the CES is also a guarantee of the quality of our startup and a form of recognition by recognized institutions such as the AD’OCC and the French Tech, which are essential economic hubs in France.

The contacts were good, the benefits will be good too!
