Cube Biotech offers innovative products and solutions for membrane protein research – a hotspot for pharmaceutical research. The business model is a two pillared model based on a service business unit that has the potential to generate significant milestone payments and a product business that is securing a constant revenue stream. The major focus of Cube’s service business unit is the structural analysis of membrane proteins – a highly sought after discipline. Those play a crucial role in the aetiology of various diseases and are one of the most sought after targets in drug discovery. Structural analysis of membrane proteins is still a huge challenge. This is particularly true for pharmaceutically relevant human membrane proteins, e.g. transporters or G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). The design of efficient drugs depends on the availability of membrane protein structure information. The competitive advantage of Cube is the coverage of the full value chain in membrane protein research through both value adding products and services based on an unique technology. With this portfolio Cube offers unseen opportunities in membrane protein research for customers in the pharmaceutical and biotechnological industry and aca-demia. The relevance of the scientific arena Cube is operating in was recently confirmed with the award of the 2012’s Nobel Prize in chemistry for two US-scientists for their membrane protein research. The Cube Biotech team shares more than 40 years of experience on membrane protein expression, purification, and crystallization.

aka-aki networks

Venture Round in 2009
Aka Aki is a Germany-based mobile social networking site that wants to let users discover and connect with members as they go about their days. They have two different versions of the site, a mobile version and a web version. The web version has all the standard features like profiles, friends and messaging, but, the mobile version is much different with its Bluetooth-sensing capabilities. The mobile version uses a combination of Bluetooth, GPS and WiFi spots to find similar users within your area and alerts you via your mobile device. You can then use you device to view their profiles and connect with them. For instance, you could be at a grocery store, restaurant or party and find people to connect with. This could be good for finding strangers with common interests but it would probably be better for running into friends you didn't know were going to be in the area. If your mobile Bluetooth connection is activated, with no particular application running, you can be detected by other members while you're on the move, and check afterwards who you've met. You can also know which members came at a given location (bar, etc.) in the past. The mobile version's Bluetooth-sensing capabilities does put it at risk to open connection attacks and unwanted solicitations. Other mobile social networks include [MocoSpace](http://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mocospace), [Loopt](http://www.techcrunch.com/tag/loopt), [Zyb](http://www.crunchbase.com/organization/zyb) and [Facebook](http://www.crunchbase.com/organization/facebook).
