Five Minutes Ltd.

Back in Zagreb, got some sleep. Now I can write about Mobile 2.0 in Barcelona and what people think about ShoutEm.
The event gathered great people, most interesting startups and projects in Mobile space.

Rudy de Waele and Carles gave us an opportunity to present ShoutEm on the conference and also day before for a group of investors and VC’s. We were one of 10 startups selected from 70 to give five minutes pitch. On top of that we were selected with two other startups to present our business plans in more details in front of the same group of investors. So that make it 3 from 70. Not bad :)

Besides that we got a review on TechCrunch and lot of positive feedback on our idea and plans. Now are full of motivation to do something great.

On the event we met lot of interesting people. My favorites are:

Ivan Mc’Donalds CEO of Dial2Do. Great guy from Ireland with Slavic name :). Besides that he has a great product and a lot of experience from last startup which he successfully sold to US company. I bet on them :)

Herbert Bay CEO of kooaba. Kooaba is app which take your photo of any object in the world and returns you back all the details. Like movie posters, building, cars etc… Sound like SF but Herbert claims there is no SF in it. It works! Great product indeed.

Tommy Ahlers from zyb. Started as address book backup and now is a complete mobile social networking app. They sold it recently to Vodafone and Tommy Ahlers CEO says that he will try to change mobile operators perception on mobile internet and business models. He has my support :).

Anja form aka-aki. I heard a lot about them and it was nice to meet those guys in live.
Nimbuzz. I haven’t met anybody from Nimbuzz but they really have a good product. That is what I call mobile social network. Really cool.

Besides that I’ve met lot of people form VC’s but they don’t need additional publicity from me :)
As usual these conferences are always good for additional business contacts. So we got few offers for software consulting and development. Not bad, if any of those come to reality we will be very happy.

Now we have planes to bet everything we have on ShoutEm and spend next few months programming like a bunch of maniacs. We are going to kill it! Seedcamp application is also in our plans we’ll see will that go through.

So long and stay tuned. We will make it :)
