Increase your SALES with ZoomCharts!
ZoomCharts had an excellent time participating in the TechHub Rīga March Meetup on March 12, 2015, taking place at Kaļķu street 12/14, Rīga, LV-1050, Latvia.
ZoomCharts CEO and Co-Founder Janis Volbergs gave an engaging presentation on the startup path from idea, to market, to investment, and what it takes to build a product from the ground up and take it to a new level.
How did it all start?
A problem was spotted. There were no visualization libraries delivering truly interactive charts for touch enabled devices that were capable of working with big data.
And so the idea emerged. This was the right time to build such a library.
Why?
Because touch screen displays will become a $31.9 billion dollar market by 2018. Smart mobile sensor devices were used by 1.75 billion people in 2014. The Big Data market will grow exponentially (from $8.8 billion in 2013), to $48 billion in 2018. HTML5 adoption is wide enough and touch enabled devices are powerful enough to generate interactive visualizations.
The ingredients for a successful startup include:
1. A grand vision. ZoomCharts’ vision is to become the number one SDK for interactive chart development in web and mobile apps.
2. A realistic plan for execution and getting your vision implemented.
3. (Most importantly) A team, able to see the grand vision and execute the plan.
ZoomCharts started small, but focused. A vision was set, a core team of professionals was assembled, and a detailed business plan was derived, which led to a €200,000 seed investment.
The product was created in less than a year, and launched public downloads and a shop in March 2014.
In less than a year, the customer list grew to include companies such as TCI Business Capital, Hewlett Packard, D8 Corporation, Proteus Enterprise, Narus, SwissLife, Taykey, Derivitec, Sensors, Click & Pledge, Ryan Scientific, Inc., Booxs, Frostbyte Consulting, Image webdesign, Norbit, Helm, Zengo, Ense Group, RCS, Helbling, Loonloon, Fractalerts, Thinktecture, bitmama, KeeSystem, Trulia, Maxfone, and many more.
Increase your SALES with ZoomCharts!
ZoomCharts started with a €0 investment in dedicated marketing. A follow up investment of €500,000 raised in November 2014 enabled us to scale our team from 3 to 11, and get us moving forward fast.
Today, the ZoomCharts team has grown from 3 to 11, and has raised a total investment of €700,000. We’ve reached 40 paying customers, and growing, and there have been over 700 trials started, and growing.
Current challenges include brand building, marketing and sales, and incorporation into the US, including patents.
Despite the challenges, ZoomCharts is excited about the company’s future, which includes plans such as:
1. Raise €5-7 million to massively expand sales and marketing.
2. Expand the team to 40+ within the next two years.
3. Launch multiple SAAS solutions that would let a much wider audience take advantage of the benefits ZoomCharts provides.
We are proud to be part of ZoomCharts, and we are glad to hear that our customers love ZoomCharts as much as we do!

ZoomCharts at DevClub.lv: Developing a Javascript SDK
On January 15, 2015, ZoomCharts Co-Founder and CTO Viesturs Zariņš presented at DevClub.lv - a community of Latvian IT specialists that gather monthly and host free talks, presentations, and events to allow the local IT community to share knowledge, network, and communicate. Zariņš discussed the unique challenges faced in developing JavaScript SDK.
Here is a brief overview of his PowerPoint presentation on ZoomCharts, the world’s most interactive data visualization software that will support all your data presentation needs with incredible speed.
What is ZoomCharts?
What defines ZoomCharts advanced data visualization software? It is NOT another HTML5 charts library. It is:
- Interactive
- Fast
- Touch enabled
- Supports big data
A long time ago
DOS 6.2 allowed for:
- 320x240x8bpp
- Direct access to pixels on screen
- Assembler for performance
Today, the Web has finally caught up in the graphics department. Now, we have access to:
- Multiple browsers and rendering technologies
- Multiple resolutions
- Performance that varies by browser and device
Development setup:
- We write in JavaScript
- Commit to GitHub
- Build system in JavaScript
- Debug in Chrome
- Run automated tests
- Like WebStorm (and Vim)
Graphics:
Canvas (fast)
SVG (slow)
WebGL (>50%)
Interactive animations:
Zoom in and out of the graph, drag and drop data, all with your mouse or trackpad.
Graceful degradation:
High FPS (frames per second) lets you scale graphics with low image degradation.
Third party libraries:
- Raphael
- Hammer.js
- Leaflet
- Moment.js
Challenges:
- Responsive design: layouts can shift and look nice on desktop screens vs. not so nice on vertical, mobile screens
- Big screen resolutions: uses devicePixelRatio for sharp rendering, but no hardware acceleration beyond 2048x2048
- Safari compatibility: with 100% CPU, input events are blocked and browser locks up; strange code offers fixes
- HTML on canvas: DOM is slow; basic HTML markup must be parsed and rendered manually; text caching helps
Support:
- Process: TrialSupportBuy
- 1 day issue resolution
- #1 Tell me what I did wrong
- #2 Can you do…
Testing:
- Automated tests on every GIT push
Automatically:
- Compare images
- Record performance
- View errors in console
Interactive testing:
- Next step: record and playback
BrowserStack:
- Interactive mode
- Automated: Selenium API
Debugging:
Chrome Developer tools (F12)
- Debugging
- Profiling
- Timeline
Remote debugging available: developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/remote-debugging
Future:
- More charts
- Extension API
- Memory allocation tracking
- WebGL
We are looking for statically-typed language:
- Error checking
- Performance
- Superior minification
- Easy to write and read
- Easy to call from JS
Building
Custom build script:
- Compile
- Minify
- Extract documentation
- Embed customer data

As video rental stores become a thing of the past, and home entertainment becomes more prominent going into the future, the means of choosing what to watch continues to evolve.
Using data from the popular Internet Movie Database (IMDb), ZoomCharts has come up with a fantastic new way for you to explore movies and discover the next great film to watch. Using a ZoomCharts network chart, you have a beautiful, completely interactive, and highly visual and intuitive way to explore actors, genres, and titles.
Click on an actor to discover more about what genres of films they are known for.
Right clicking on an actor will pull up more detailed information about them.
Click on a genre to generate specific movie titles that actor has been in.
Click on a movie title to find out what other actors star in the film.
Filter your results using the year slider and IMDb minimum rating.
The possibilities are endless!
Once you have decided on a movie that you think you might like, simply right click to expand information, including a full plot summary, director and writer information, runtime, country, language, and more.
From here, you also have options to watch the trailer or purchase the movie to watch instantly from the comfort of your home, and conveniently from your desktop, laptop, tablet, mobile device, or television.
As with all ZoomCharts interactive charts, you can intuitively explore all parts of the data set, including zooming and scrolling by simply swiping, pinching, or clicking.
At a glance information includes movie posters, release dates, and IMDb user ratings so that you donât have to waste any time in making an informed decision, with everything you need to know right at your fingertips.
See it all in action at imdb.zoomcharts.com/
The Internet Movie Database is an online database that offers comprehensive entertainment related information, from films, TV, and videogames, to cast, characters, and crew, to trivia, reviews, ratings, plot summaries, and user forums. Actors and crew can upload their resume and photos, and users can register to rate and review titles, vote, comment, and engage in discussions.

ZoomCharts data visualization tools have become very popular amongst government agencies and bureaus because of its capabilities to process massive amounts of data in a blink of an eye. Users get a seamless experience without having to wait for data to load or for a chart or graph to update on the screen.
Another very important feature is how users can interact with ZoomCharts charts and graphs. Instead of a simple static visual display of information, you can easily extract data and see how it is related to other entries. Try it yourself!
Finally, ZoomCharts tools are touchscreen friendly, which means you can use them on all your mobile devices, including smartphones and tablets.
ZoomCharts advanced data visualization tools are being used by a growing number of organizations in business and educational sectors, including sciences and mathematics, such as anatomy, biochemistry, ecology, microbiology, nutrition, neuroscience, physiology, zoology, chemical engineering, geochemistry, molecular biology, geology, paleontology, physics, astronomy, algebra, computer science, geometry, logic, and statistics, and the arts such as, music, dance, theatre, film, animation, architecture, applied arts, photography, graphic design, interior design, and mixed media.
