No Prize for Second Place

Filed under Buzz, News

Fusion2008_promo.jpgLast week, Ian presented at New Media BC’s Fusion Forum, an event which played matchmaker between investors from both sides of the border and startups from all across the country. Like our earlier pitch at the Canadian Financing Forum, this gained a lot of attention and notoriety for the company. We were edged out of first place by game-maker HotRocket who won a free trip to San Francisco to pitch some Valley VCs. Still, second place is no slouch. Thanks to the investors and media who voted for us!
