Pluvi.On: From the Favelas to a startup success story - News
Summary
The young team offers these clients a fully functional license solution that includes the Pluvi station, the associated software and the user dashboard. However, the start-up team, which currently consists of a colorful mix of meteorologists, designers, engineers and data scientists, is pursuing a very different matter of the heart: Pluvi.On was founded on the model of the Japanese citizen science network Safecast, the Manufactured car mirrors to be attached, to be able to demonstrate the extent of radiation exposure after the nuclear disaster of Fukushima. In this way, San Pedro refrains from communicating simple information such as the probability and amount of rain and lovingly packs it into friendly recommendations. As a result, the solution combines simplicity and practical relevance - many residents have cell phones with little storage space and therefore cannot install additional apps - with the mission of saving lives as well as belongings.The young start-up has already received international attention thanks to its extraordinary mission: the incubator programs Facebooks Estacao Hack Sao Paulo, Google for Startups and Red Bull Basement are among the first sponsors and not only bring networking and awareness, but also technical support such as the use of cloud storage and computing. A part of the team traveled to the Smart City LAB opening in Vienna to be included in our initiative, which strengthened their ties with the German-speaking countries.
