Welcome to the Jungle – 2018 Coolest Companies Revealed

Skydiving altimeter app Dekunu walked away with the title of Anthill’s “Coolest Company 2018” at the 14th annual Cool Company Awards on Thursday 21 February.

The purpose of Dekunu is to give skydivers x-ray vision, eyes-in-the-back-of-their-heads and other awareness-related superpowers, in a bid to make skydiving safer, more connected and roundhouse-kick flight progression into the 21st century.

It does this by turning 1s and 0s into actionable data on your wrist. A plethora of gyroscopes, magnetometers, barometers, and GPS sensors track every movement, direction and decision.

It provides real-time speed, heading and altitude, post-jump statistics for quick-review, supported by a game-changing Cloud platform with 2D/3D vision.

The “Jungle” themed night, held at Richmond Co-Working Space Launchpad, crowned winners across 12 categories.
