Hello and welcome to Poznan, Poland.
0:03
My name is Nathan. I’m from New Zealand
0:05
and I’ve met young gentleman called Damian,
0:07
who is telling mi about his startup company.
0:10
And I though you might be quite interested to hear
0:12
what is it all about. So Damian, nice to meet you!
0:15
Tell us about your business. What does it do?
0:18
Qupi is a startup for medical students
0:21
and it helps them practice their knowledge
0:23
– Ok
0:24
So, how does it help them practice their knowledge?
0:26
What does it have?
0:28
Because Qupi is a database and we have 6,000 questions right now,
0:31
but we aim for 10,000 by the launch.
0:34
They have multiple choice questions that help them practice.
0:38
Alright! And it helps medical students practice for examinations?
0:41
Yes
0:42
What makes Qupi special in this world? Why should we care about you?
0:46
Why are you the best?
0:48
Ok, so there are three main points.
0:50
First point is that we are the largest medical question bank.
0:53
By the launch we will have 10,000 questions and then we will have more.
0:58
Second point is that we are the most affordable,
1:02
so spening money on us it’s the wise choice.
1:05
And the third point is that we are a small company,
1:09
so we want students to participate.
1:11
They can submit us questions and tell us how to become better.
1:16
So, you really want students to get involved
1:19
and be part of creating the questions for the community.
1:21
Exactly!
1:22
We would love to have people engaged in our project.
1:24
We want something that is good for them.
1:28
What made you want to start this company?
1:30
My partners.
1:31
Because we were thinking about creating something good,
1:34
changing the world.
1:36
Ok! And when does this happen?
1:38
When do you launch?
1:39
It was a year ago that we started, but we launch on the 1st of August.
1:44
Alright, but already you have trial users?
1:47
Yes, 3,500 users at the moment.
1:50
So you have 3,500 users already, before you even really gone live?
1:54
Exactly.
1:54
That’s really exciting!
1:55
Yes! This is very exciting!
1:57
I mean, even first 100 users was so exciting for us.
2:02
I remember that moment, when you get your first ever user.
2:04
That’s when you really know like this is real!
2:06
This is real and you feel like you’re doing something for someone.
2:10
Not only for yourself.
2:11
So that’s a great moment!
2:13
So how do people get involved?
2:15
How do people sign up?
2:16
It is very simple.
2:17
You just type on your keyboard qupi.e-msi.pl
2:20
