Mapness is looking for seed investement.
On October 22, 2007 in Mapness
We are looking for seed funding - Venture Capitals or Business Angels. Back in September, when we were starting the development of Mapness we’ve applied to Seedcamp but having no more than an unrefined idea and no prototype to show we didn’t make it. Since then we have self-funded Mapness - we’ve developed a beta version, defined our business goals and are nearing the completion of a full blown public release. Thus we are now seeking a seed investment to enhance our marketing and development teams and to kick start our service. If you are interested please contact us and we’ll supply all the details and a business plan.
Diving in Himalayas
On October 16, 2007 in Mapness
We are proud to share this news with all of our readers (and hopefully future users of our service).
We arranged an agreement with a Polish Himalaya expedition to publish their up to date achievements on our website.
The expedition itself is a pioneer one as its participants will dive in the Tilicho lake in Himalayas which is more than 5000m above sea level. Such an endeavor has never been accomplished before and that makes us even more proud of the fact that we were given the privilege to share news from this journey with other Globetrotters.
What you are about to see is a journey log entirely created with Mapness and it was done in just a few easy steps. Soon everyone will be able to publish journeys while we focus on keeping it as easy as breathing.
The news form the Himalayas may lack some details and have rather brief form but its due to atmospheric conditions that limit the communication with the expedition. We hope that soon the reports will be filled with lots of exciting details and multimedia from the trip.
All the best luck to the brave explorers!
After 3camp meeting in Gdansk
On October 15, 2007 in Mapness
So as we announced previously on 27.09.2007 we did a presentation of Mapness on 3camp in Gdansk, Poland – a barcamp like meeting of web folks from Gdansk. To be perfectly honest I was going to write this post just after the presentation, about a week ago, but we’re rushing to release Mapness beta and the last final batch of fixes and enhancements really got the whole team very busy. Anyway the meeting was great, I’ve met lots of interesting people and I got lots of positive feedback, quite a lot of advice from experienced entrepreneurs and some interesting business opportunities. For all that I’d like to thank the fine people who took interest in Mapness and cared to venture a chat with me after the presentation. I’ve really learned a lot. The slide show and the video shot during the presentation are polish only, as was the audience.
Next weekend Mike and me will be at Bootstrap meeting in Warsaw but no presentation from us this month, we’re just going to hang around hoping to meet some interesting people with bright ideas. If you’re going see you there!
