Simon Taylor
Co-Founder & Research Director of Zappar
Simon Taylor is a co-founder of Zappar, and the company’s Research Director. Simon graduated with a Masters in Engineering from the University of Cambridge in 2007. He went on to complete a PhD, also at the Engineering Department in Cambridge, entitled “Fast Object Localisation for Mobile Augmented Reality Applications”. Simon’s research focused on the development of fast algorithms for locating known objects in live camera frames from smartphone devices. This research resulted in a novel approach to the problem offering far superior performance to existing published work of the time. The approach was first published at the Workshop on Feature Detectors and Descriptors held as part of the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, 2009. A demo of the approach on a smartphone was also shown at the conference, receiving a “Best Demo” award. Further updates to the approach were published at the British Machine Vision Conference, 2009. The conference organizers selected this paper as one of six to be extended for inclusion in a special edition of the International Journal of Computer Vision, published in 2011. Simon worked with Connell Gauld to integrate his algorithm into a full mobile app for AR content delivery. Together they founded Extra Reality Ltd in 2010 to pursue commercialization of their solution. After meeting Kirk Ewing and Caspar Thykier, they decided to form a new venture, Zappar, to offer a full AR content creation solution for big-brand clients. Simon has led the development of Zappar’s proprietary and patented Zapcode system.

Sacha Nasan
CEO & Co-Founder of Blindlee
Sacha Nasan is the Belgium-based child prodigy behind the free downloadable video sharing app called Talenty, and is a one-man tour-de-force who has also become an ardent supporter of start-ups: “I’m passionate about start-ups because they are usually innovating in some way. I believe that, in today’s world, we have to keep innovating and modernizing. Start-ups provide new solutions to common and usually simple problems and continuously develop new technologies. By doing so, they contribute to the well-being of mankind.” At 14, Sacha launched his first mobile app which sold 83,000 downloads in only 2 days, and which was ranked as the #1 top overall free app in Belgium and France for those two days. At 16, Sacha built Talenty, an app-enabled social network that invites people around the world to upload videos which showcase their skills and talents.

Kaspar L. Palgi
Project Manager, Coder, Co-Founder of CrewNew.com – Freelancers’ Agency
I’m a BA IT graduate that’s best at UX/software planning, software architecture and developing software in various programming languages/frameworks/platforms, including Python, PHP, Node.js, Ruby and more. I’m worked with various frameworks like Django, Flask, Rails, CodeIgnitor, Yii, Zend etc. I have experience also with most of the popular open source solutions like Django CMS, KeystoneJS, MODx, Magento, WordPress, OpenCart, Prestashop, vTiger, Odoo, Rhadoop/Hadoop and the list goes on. I always keep my eyes open for the most promising new technologies such as MEAN Stack, Kivy, Meteor and many various others that facilitate building multi-platform applications. I’m a very adept project manager that can always come up with a short/smart and simple solution that works. I’ve completed a teaching course at university that has given me plenty of experience teaching in front of a classroom, performing remote one-on-one training and creating easy to follow manuals. My general skills are in business development. I started my first business when I was 13 and my first IT company when I was 17. Right now I’m a shareholder of four different companies and am currently working on establishing a promising new start-up that will utilise IT management to make freelancers (like us) much more productive.
