Meet HackerNoon Startups of the Week
AQUi9
Fish farming can be a long and complicated process; AQUi9 fixes that. One of their key features is smart feeding. Smart feeding allows them to monitor feed consumption in real time and to improve fish feed conversion. But that’s not all: AQui9 can monitor critical water parameters and automate feed handling. AQUi9 is a leader in the fish farming industry, and according to its website, tracks 30 million fish every single day.
AQUi9 has been nominated as a top startup in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and in the IT Services and Web Development categories.

SOS Tech Groups
Appearance matters a lot, even with businesses. If your business website looks bad, that doesn’t leave potential customers with a whole lot of confidence. That’s where SOS Tech Groups steps in. They help businesses with UI/UX designs and web designs. But apart from that, they also lend a helping hand with SEO services and branding ads. Whether it’s to help improve your business’ appearance or to improve its marketability, SOS Tech Groups is there to help.
SOS Tech Groups has been nominated as a top startup in Amritsar, Punjab, India, and in the Messaging & Communication and IT Services categories.

Dicken AI
AI has taken over the world. So it’s no surprise that many businesses have begun to incorporate it into their core structure. But how does one go about doing that? With Dicken AI, of course. They offer AI solutions, AI automation, AI image recognition, and more. Adding all of these things to your business might sound expensive, but Dicken AI prides itself on being economically feasible so that even small business owners can integrate AI into their everyday lives.
Dicken AI has been nominated as a top startup in Bamako, Bamako Capital District, Mali, and in the Generative AI and Automation categories.

Featured Interview of the Week
Once your startup is nominated, you can write and publish a free interview where you can talk about your business and why people should vote for it. But we highly recommend creating a business page on HackerNoon because we don’t want you to miss out on the amazing perks that come with it. Perks that include creating and editing your own Evergreen Tech Company News Page, plus being included in our Tech Companies ranking.
If you’re a bit shy or don’t know how to get started with your interview, we have plenty of Startup Interview Templates to help you flesh out your thoughts. Let’s take a peek at what AQUi9 had to say during their interview:
At AQUi9, we believe in the power of precision technology to transform the agribusiness sector, starting with fish farming (pisciculture), one of the most promising industries in the production chain. We leverage IoT, artificial intelligence, and data analytics to create integrated solutions that optimize fish feeding management, improve water quality, and boost productivity.
