At the 3rd of December, favit participated in the Regional KIS 100 event in Athens, Greece co-hosted by the Europe Unlimited platform,  CEED Bulgaria & Atlantis Consulting.

The event took place in the premises of the Corallia  Cluster Initiative (the co-working space that brought together the team behind BlindType – a touchscreen typing start up acquired by Google).

We are extremely proud that favit was among the 9 highly innovative companies (together with one more from our fund – NEVEQ – MaYoMo) in the region selected to be presenting during the event.  We showed our mobile applications, go to market strategy, immediate needs and future plans in a short video. You can view the slides below:

The iPad application sprung big interest among the public and we have been immediately approached by marketing and advertising companies interested in our white label solution. Further details on it as well as applications teasers and screenshots will be released soon, so stay tuned!

Yesterday, June 11th was a great day for the Internetz! One of the best and most influential tech blogs – TechCrunch turned 5!

Happy, happy birthday TechCrunch!

To commemorate the event,  TechCrunch fans from around the globe gathered, drank beer and talked technology.

At the favit office, in Sofia, Bulgaria we organized a TechCrunch MeetUp as well, and spent more than 4 hours (we left after midnight!) talking geeky stuff and drinking beer (from green bottles mainly)

Check out the 3 videos, we have recorded with some passionate TechCrunch readers as present for the TechCrunch birthday:

The videos are all HD thanks for the flip device that we won at the first TechCrunch Disrupt event in NYC – what better occasion to put in action!

Once again, happy birthday TechCrunch and continue to disrupt the status quo, we like you that way!

Although our demo table at the first TechCrunch Disrupt event in New York City was quite small, that was not an obstacle at all in presenting and discussing the favit beta with the Disrupt guests, journalists, fellow exhibitors and of course, potential investors.

We were extremely pleasantly surprised to learn that the people at the Disrupt conference and those following the event from around the world voted up favit in the Evelyn Rusli‘s call for Start Up Alley participants interviews.

So here it is. The Charming Evelyn asking our CEO – Konstantin Hristov to describe the service and our plans about disrupting the status quo, enjoy the video and watch the entire Start Up Alley Day 2 Interviews with better quality at lifestream.com (the favit part starts at 21:45)

Today is a big day for favit.

Our CEO – Konstantin Hristov and the chief platform architect Atanas Yurukov are having a demo table in the Start Up Alley at the first TechCrunch Disrupt event in New York City.

The live coverage of the StartUps from the Start UP alley begins at 12:30pm EDT with Evelyn Rusli from TC doing the interviews.

We’ve prepared accordingly with two vinyl banners that simply say what is favit all about – the user – helping him restore the control of his digital activities.

If you happen to be at the venue feel free to disrupt Konstantin and Atanas at any time, they will gladly show you the new favit and you can leave your impression at the white vinyl.

For the rest, do not worry, the new favit will be soon rolled out.

Me pitching favit in front of the jury of experts from PayPal, Microsoft, Norwest Venture Partners, Quickstart Global and the amazing audience of journalists and young entrepreneurs that made the Innovate100 Event in Tel Aviv an amazing and unforgettable event.

And when I say amazing I totally mean it.
As a CEO of favit I have ventured far and wide and attended many conferences, delivered many speeches and received tons of feedback and questions, but nowhere so far I have been more impressed by the quality of the feedback that the Innovate100 judges and guests gave me. The discussions I had with them about the future of the web made me wish the event lasted two or more days!
