iDendron Startup: eCup
eCup is a digital platform established in Hong Kong with great passion to promote local coffee culture and encourage tasting of specialty coffee.
//原於金融界從事IT工作的何卓堯和李敏華，兩年前開發應用程式「eCup」，供用家在App內落單付款買咖啡，再按顯示的時間到店自取，減省在店外等候的時間。//
//eCup成立20個月，首批加盟咖啡店之一Espresso Alchemy的店主羅匡成稱，生意大受疫情影響，尤其位於商業區的鰂魚涌分店，以及旺區的尖沙咀店。他指，eCup相對其他外賣平台的單次收費較便宜，會繼續參與。//
//李敏華介紹，eCup無需使用者註冊提供個人資料，就能經程式下單和付款，等待通知後到店取貨就可，節省等候時間；程式又會將咖啡店的顧客忠誠計劃電子化，例如電子儲分卡，節省店舖成本，讓顧客使用更方便。//
//To keep up with the times, the app has introduced its latest Brew From Home service – a coffee kit which includes tools and coffee beans for brewing coffee at home.//
iDendron Startup: Chartipedia
Chartipedia is a centralised platform that connects data visualisation creators, readers, educators and corporates.
//Chartipedia的數據可視化內容目前以英文為主。高樂名透露，歐美的相關發展領先亞洲地區，「亞洲沒有太多相關人才，所以我們一開始，便決定在歐美找機會。」北歐是他們的首選，因當地數據可視化水平相對成熟。//
//數據可視化可應用於金融、科學、休閒消費、體育資訊，以至新聞報道等不同範疇。以Chartipedia為例，其客戶包括一些大型銀行、媒體甚至社企。高樂名補充，「只要客戶手上有一些數據，想向End-User（服務對象）展示出來，我們就可把它製成可視化內容。」//
