We were totally thrilled to be selected as one of the three winners at the first MindTrek Startup Launchpad, together with Mahshelf and OneDidIt. We also won the audience favourite award which was voted on via SMS. We now have two very nice certificates for the wall.
Part of the prize was the chance to speak one-to-one to the judges and I got the chance to speak with Sharon Ballard of Enable Ventures and Marc Davies of Yahoo!. Some wonderful insights and lots to consider as we build ourselves into a global business. Marc commented that we definitely have some interesting technology, and from the Chief Scientist for Connected Life and Social Media Guru at Yahoo!, it was a really important validation of our technology.
Now we take these lessons and improve our market message and offering. All in a days work for a startup!
