Bringing the best global mobile startups and investors together

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

A few days ago we closed registrations to the Mobile Premier Awards competition, the largest in the industry, with over 600 submissions! The local nominees were great and the finalists selected are sensational.

There are lots of amazing startups, however, which did not make the cuts this year and have a great future ahead. Connecting great projects to potential partners is what we do at dotopen. That is why we are driving an initiative to give all startups who participated to the MPA an opportunity to virtually showcase in front of selected investors.

For investors:

All the investors who request it will receive a document with links to the startup profiles and a temporary login so you can easily get to understand what the hottest startups in mobile do.

There are dozens of investors already using dotopen, discovering and following companies not only as potential investments, but also to do some competitor analysis for the companies in their portfolio, to understand trends and to look around for the unexpected.

If you are an investor and would like to receive for FREE! the list of the startups that participated in this year’s competition can send us your email address here.

For startups:

dotopen is a great tool for showcasing your startup company to potential investors. It has a lot of information that investors need for a first evaluation and supports specific documents and media which usually have no place on the company’s website (i.e. a video pitch, information on the projects you are working on, or even what you are looking for).

With that in mind, if you want to brush up your profile, you can log in here.

We continue to look for ways to further contribute to the innovation ecosystem and add value to our members. If you have some ideas you can send them our way.

This year, the event takes place at one of the coolest new bars in Barcelona, the VINTAGE – around the corner of the venue last year – for more space and a jazzy, loungy athmosphere, with different rooms and salons. We’ll be able to host 500 people in a relaxed atmosphere with drinks and bites, including lots of sofa’s, private salons, four screens, a heated terrace and a dancefloor for the ones who like to kick off the  busy week with a swing.

Attending Mobile Sunday is free to all registered users of dotopen.com who will also get their company’s logo and pitch shown on the many screens visible at the event.
