Thank you for the support! I'm up for the challenge and can't wait to see what's ahead.

1)Events are difficult to organize and attendees are expecting a more interactive experience at the events they attend. We're trying to provide interactive event experiences that anyone can create, regardless of how small or large the event is.

2)Event organizers feel the pain in every event they organize. We provide a way to solve these pain points and they're willing to pay for it.

3)We believe there are significant opportunities in a) creating a more social, connected experience b) developing an organizer solution that complements their workflow rather than add onto it and c) creating an event experience that constantly engages attendees whether they are on their mobile device or not.

Hey there! EventMobi is a great product, but there a few differences in the product and strategy. From a product standpoint, we're just getting started and the majority of our functionality is still being developed. With that said, we're working on some unique tools to make the organizer's job easier, as well as make an extremely social experience for attendees. Additionally, we extend beyond the mobile device with Activity Walls that display content from the app, social media, and the event itself.

As for strategy, they operate more on the enterprise side. The event space is a massive market with 10s of millions of events of different sizes each year. We want to create a better experience for events of all sizes, small or large. This includes small meetings, meetups, seminars, workshops, conferences, and even massive tradeshows.

Solid article on the importance of leveraging Demo Day hype to raise a round. As someone who is trying to raise without being in a world renowned accelerator like YC, I only wish I had an opportunity like Demo Day to help the round close quicker.

We just discovered ShipBuilder yesterday, yet already I have a very good feeling about it. We're planning on trying it out on a disposable AWS instance this weekend.
