Meet COOCO, The BD School, and ClikinTech: HackerNoon Startups of The Week

Welcome back to another edition of HackerNoon Startups of The Week! Each week, the HackerNoon team showcases a list of startups from our Startups of The Year database. All these startups have been nominated as one of the best in their respective category or region.

This week, we’re happy to bring you COOCO, The BD School, and ClikinTech!

Meet the Startups of The Week!

COOCO

Coming home from a long day of work and having to cook can get tiring quickly, but it doesn’t have to. That’s where COOCO steps in. Register the ingredients that you currently have in your fridge, and COOCO will recommend recipes based on those ingredients. On top of that, it can help you come up with meal plans based on your preferences.

COOCO was nominated for Startup of the Year in the Messaging & Communications and the Blogging categories.

The BD School

There are plenty of educational platforms where you can learn about math, coding, and most other things. But how many educational platforms are solely dedicated to teaching about business development? The BD School has courses to teach you about soft skills, cold outreach, and more.

The BD School is nominated for Startup of the Year in Rotterdam, Netherlands, and is also nominated in the Training and Consulting category.

ClikinTech

With so many software development companies out there, it’s hard to choose the right one. So, how about choosing the one that has had over 220 clients and has worked on 486 projects? ClikinTech has spent over 1,320 hours helping businesses reach their full potential by providing services such as mobile app development and integrating AI and ML.

Based in Kolkata, WB, India, ClikinTech was nominated for Startup of the Year in the Marketing Category.

Featured Interview of the Week

If your startup was nominated in any category, you can publish an interview for free where you can talk about your startup, the services it provides, and why people should check it out and vote for it. But the first step in doing that is to create a business page on HackerNoon. With this, you can create and edit your own Evergreen Tech Company News Page, plus be included in our Tech Companies ranking.

The interview template we’ll be checking out this week is the Startups of The Year 2024 Melbourne Interview. Using this interview, showcase your startup’s milestones and achievements, explain what it was like to build a startup in Melbourne, and explain how your startup is impacting the lives of the people of Melbourne.

COOCO filled out the General Interview template, and here’s what they had to say about being nominated for Startup of the Year:

Participating in HackerNoon's Startups of The Year is not just an accolade; it’s an opportunity to amplify our mission. We aim to connect with visionaries, partners, and users who share our passion for transforming the food landscape.
