Openfund gives Listiki a thumbs up
As we have been discussing projects, Listiki sprung to mind and action when we came about the Openfund. They offer seed funding to start-ups to whom they believe may have that certain "something". We were excited to hear that Listiki had been invited to present at the Openfund event which took place on November 21, 2009. The previous months had paid off and we were ready to present it. Nerves, last minute changes, rehearsing and a few hours of brainstorming took up most of the team's first day in Athens.
The next morning, Constantinos picked up Alex and I from our hotel, just minutes from the Microsoft Innovation Center where this was all to take place. We sat through the start-ups before us and listened to some really exceptional ideas, all the while, thinking about our turn and what the investors would throw our way during the Q&A. All went well for Listiki and we were ecstatic to find that we were one of the four start-ups selected.
The 3 other start-ups are all great. We'll be following their progress - they are Fashinating, crawdout and YouScan. Good luck guys.
