Here are some of the champions from Startup World Championships 2019! They will represent their respective cities of origin at Startupfest in Montreal.
Gym Nomad
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Think of Gym Nomad like the AirBnb of fitness, where a traveller can book a gym like they would a hotel.
Learn moreFrom MMA to meditation, we’ve created a fitness marketplace where a traveller can quickly and conveniently find a local gym, book a membership for the precise time they are visiting, and be training in moments. We’re challenging existing pricing models to create a mutually beneficial platform for the traveller to avoid the excessively priced Day Pass rates, and for the gym to access a supplementary revenue stream where they collect at a rate of about 80% more than that of their local members. Completely bootstrapped, Gym Nomad has been growing at an average of 15-20% MoM and now expanding to more cities in Europe.

Sit & Shower (1st device), our award-winning automated bathing solution, was recently launched in Hong Kong, selected for local government subsidy and found to reduce labour costs in bathing by 50% amongst early hospital and long-term care customers. This solution launches in Sweden, Singapore and China later this summer.
Devices under development include those to automatically transfer people from a bed to self-driving wheelchair and automatically bring them to a toilet – all operable with voice control and without the need for assistance!
