Tungle receives DEMO award

By Heri Sep 27th 2007 in Business

tungle p2pTungle, a Montreal startup that allows easy setup of meetings and appointements via a outlook pluging, went this week to San Diego, California, to present their service at DEMO. It’s a high-profile event that gets the attention of the media and investors, and can be seen as an opportunity for a startup to “take off”.

Marc Gingras, Tungle’s CEO, gave an impressing demo and received the DEMOgod award. Here is the video of the event:

But this wasn’t the only field where they innovated. Apparently, the Tungle team also co-signed a statement saying tools for businesses should be affordable, easy-to-use and affordable, with 7 other companies.

Needless to say this would boost Tungle’s image and adoption. Marc Gingras did an excellent job here as a CEO.

    - What looks like solid and needed product.
    - An obviously passionate CEO.
    - And a francophone accent in San Diego.

    I predict Tungle’s going to be rolling in dough any minute now.

    If nothing else, he sold me on the product (as a user) with the presentation alone, and I’m definitely the picky kind when it comes to… well, you heard the slogan.

    Kudos.

    PS: no, I don’t know anyone at Tungle. ;)

    Thank you for the kind words Heri. It was a great show.

    This DEMOgod award was the result of the hard work of the entire team. Every single one of them. I was lucky to be the one talking on stage.

    I have known Marc for a few years – he was working at Innovatech then. He is very smart, and very nice. I think he has a winner with Tumgle.

    Hi Marc. Your comment only reinforces mine. :)

    Congrats to all of you. You have a very nice offering and the potential to go very far.

    As I said, I’ll probably be one of your *early* users, as Tungle is filling a void that has always been one of the scourges of my online life.
