Akoha and Praized at TechCrunch50 (1)
You can call it buzz; you can also call it a deafening endless stream of tweets; but Montreal is all about Akoha and Praized today.
The 2 startups are in San Francisco at the Techcruch50 conference. Akoha is a finalist and due to give their first ever public presentation wednesday morning, in the Gaming session; while Praized Media is at the DemoPit.
Like the DEMO conference, it’s a key event where a launching company can expect to get attention from investors; but more importantly get the much-needed press and blog coverage, in the same way that SXSW 2007 was the origin of Twitter’s popularity. It’s also an incredible opportunity for entrepreneurs to make connections and build partnerships.
As a sidenote, this finally explains why the Akoha team didn’t give any prior information; and also why they asked everyone to sign a NDA at previous events. Public disclosing of the concept disqualifies a startup launching at TC50. So, until wednesday, you can follow the Akoha team at their community blog, with Austin Hill blogging about the conference. Congrats again to Akoha and Praized, hope they’ll use this event to advance significantly.
[...] this presentation, I think it’s fair to say that Akoha deserve all the buzz… Stay tuned, a review shall come up very [...]
