After The Next Web ‘08

Posted in News, Reviews, Sneak peak | by Dragos ILINCA | April 9th, 2008

As you may know, we’ve been part of 24 startups presenting on stage at The Next Web ‘08 in Amsterdam. It has been an awesome experience from many points of view. We’ve met a lot of cool people that you may consider superstars: Erick Schonfeld from TechCrunch, Robert Scoble, Chris Saad from DataPortability.org, Werner Vogels CTO of Amazon and many more. What strikes you when you meet each of them is the passion for what they are doing and their down-to-earth way of dealing with people.

Honestly, we went there to just get some feedback on uberVU. Feedback from other startups and tech gurus. We loved what we heard. 90% of the people said: “Wow, that’s an awesome idea. It’s the type of product I’d be using every day“. The other 10% said “I don’t understand“. We need to work on the way we communicate, but otherwise, we got great feedback. A lot of people spent 30 to 45 minutes talking to us about uberVU and its potential.

We also took part in a local BarCamp, where we met lots of incredible developers and startups. Really young people that were so passionate about their ideas. Most of them had been working for months, even without getting paid at all, just because they believed in what they were doing. Very inspiring indeed.

We really appreciate that people took the time to check out uberVU and even write about it. If you want to know more about what people think of our product, check out some of the links below:

Thank you for your kind words, guys. Reviews like these make working for the project that much more rewarding.
