In the Startup Demo competition, entrepreneurs battled it out in front of a 500 person strong audience comprised of entrepreneurs, executives, investors and mostly importantly for them: the judges. As with every Startup Demo competition, the event boiled down to three ventures that caught the judge's attention.

So without further ado, here are the latest ArabNet Startup Demo competition graduates starting with the 3rd spot down to the 1st place winner.

Qurtsyah is an online office supplies shop based in Riyadh that serves the Gulf region. The website focuses on unique global products that aren't available in the local offline market and local Arabic products that haven’t been successful offline.

Arabian Code is an augmented reality application that focuses on advertising. Using AR technology, the app can dramatically transform a small lifeless printed ad by increasing its size to virtually occupy a full page and adding animations and interactive features.

Motakalem.com is an online video spokesperson service that allows users to create high quality video messages or ads narrated by presenters. Motakalem’s founders had previously founded Digital Creative Media, a web design and digital marketing company. During their work, they clearly sensed a need for a new and innovative way broadcast messages and market services or products from their clients. Further research into the matter lead them to the video spokesperson service, which was unavailable in the Arab world at the time.
