Treepli is a community of travelers where the most experts become content creators, proposing detailed itineraries, including all info regarding where to sleep, how to move around, what to do and must-see places. All these useful recommendations are shared together with their own storytelling, made of photos, images and emotions experienced along the way. On the other hand, users that are willing to plan a trip, thanks to these genuine and first-hand tips, can organise each stop in a simple and intuitive manner. Just need to pick and choose an itinerary among the ones available in the portal, customise it based on the personal needs, and finally book each single travel product, from the outbound flight to the museum entrance fee, in a single seamless flow. This is a win-win mechanism: who is looking for ideas but is not willing to get the usual pre-packaged tour can actually create his own tailored trip, who shares his stories and hidden gems can value his experience, getting rewarded based on how many users he inspired to hit the road. Our project has already left the dock: are you ready to jump on board and join us?

AttachingIT

Venture Round in 2015
Businesses are moving to the cloud. The cloud offers services that will make their IT infrastructure cheaper and more scalable with less maintenance. Although the cloud is very interesting for businesses, there are major security and privacy concerns. Due to fear or strict regulations, businesses struggle with secrecy, control and ownership of data in the cloud. For these reasons most businesses choose to go for private clouds and even legacy on premise solutions, making unnecessary costs and effort. Secrecy of data mainly depends on encryption and key management. Cloud providers provide encryption services but hold the keys to this encryption and are therefore a shared reader of the content. If data is encrypted before it is stored, most cloud providers nowadays have enough computation power to break ciphers that are considered safe. Up until now there is no technology that will leverage the power of cloud scalability whilst maintaining full secrecy of data that is stored. One solution next to encryption that would increase secrecy is to chunk data and distribute it over multiple cloud containers or providers. Although you hold the keys, the increase of secrecy with this approach might still lead to partially readable data if the cipher is broken.
