Recently many algorithm experts have succeeded with startups, solving problems like "world wide searching" and "world wide waiting". In the presentation there will be given several examples on such startups. We also raise the question: Why algorithms today are more important than ever?
Next we move to Octoshape: In 2003 Octoshape was started by two algorithm researchers from ITU with the goal to solve "world wide streaming": The object was to make software enabling to live stream to millions of simultaneous users from a single standard machine with a single standard DSL-connection.
Today Octoshape is ready to launch its first product solving the "world wide streaming problem". The remaining presentation will be split in two parts:
1) Technique: How to stream with and without Octoshape.
2) Startup: What to think about beside technique when making a new startup
