TechTime Initiative Group is a small Kiwi business - a busy little company-that-can, people in perpetual motion, robots who never sleep, with an endless cycle of ideas turning into initiatives turning into innovation.
Besides working with local and overseas customers for the last 5 years, we have been involved with local community and volunteer-run organizations. We have seen these work through their day to day routine and have noticed several common and relatively simple problems that we think can be solved better with the use of some intelligent software.
This year Ed Letifov, one of the founders, have applied for AMP "Do You Thing!" Scholarship in the Business/Entrepreneurial category for Wellington/Manawatu region hoping to secure funding for this cause.
If Ed gets the scholarship he plans to devote his time to making a software package that will genuinely simplify the everyday tasks for volunteer-driven and community-driven non-for-profit organizations.
Many components of the final solution have already been developed and tested with our existing non-profit and commercial customers. The final stretch of bringing these together and packaging as an intuitive product remains.
The ultimate goal is to make it affordable and, while funding allows, distribute to non-profits at no charge at all.
AMP has a panel of judges that will select the finalists by October 2010.
In parallel the People's Choice Award runs up until 31st of July 2010.
