This marks the end of #hksat. Hope we’ll see more startups from HK locals, creating values and change the world for the better!
Notes
Wow! Overwhelming support for @makible! People’s choice winner today at #echelon2011 #hksat Congratulations!!
@tokyorich Wow! Incidentally, a friend just advised me today to sell my Yen into AUD b4 June! Just a matter of time?
TrustCircle.me - a matchmaking site w/ I.C.R. - meet people through a friend. I just earned the Pimp badge! :D #echelon2011 #hksat
@Makible on stage - crowdsourced product design & development, tying w/ small scale manufacturing for niche items. #echelon2011 #hksat
Hmm.. most pitches are very local, local to Japan, local to Korea, local to HK… don’t entrepreneurs need to have wider view?
JellyBus photo app qbro for iPhone & Android from Korea - impressive after effects! But where’s social? #echelon2011 #hksat
Finding it interesting that the judges’ questions r very different from the kinds I heard from VCs & CEOs from US in Tokyo events.
You can change your opinions on Flipter & u can see people’s indecisions over time! #echelon2011 #hksat
Flipter, the 2nd startup from HK. Find out what people are thinking! Get insights u can act on! #echelon2011 #hksat
TributeBalloon kinda reminds me of Star.me(?) This use case seems clearer than Star, but less fun. #echelon2011 #hksat
TributeBalloon.com - from Taiwan, send a balloon up the air about anyone or anything & gather support. #echelon2011 #hksat
Super hot cup of water from Bloomberg’s break room. Pondering how much I can get if I pour it on my crouch.
Putting meishis in my back pocket and sitting on them… a habit I still can’t break after 2 yrs in Japan.
The big voting board is wasteful & not Eco-friendly :( Please “pivot” to a better way ;) #echelon2011 #hksat
Moglue already applied for 2 patents on UI & networking :( Concentrate on customer dev & improve UX, not patents! #echelon2011 #hksat
Good story telling by Moglue’s Chris, he plays w/ LEGO a lot as a kid too, he should like @LEGO_CUUSOO #echelon2011 #hksat
Chris Reily from Korea on stage to talk about Moglue - create, play, share. Share your story! #echelon2011 #hksat
SocialJobPosting - post your jobs on their Facebook app. #echelon2011 #hksat
Wow! 3rd startup from Japan next! This is more startup presentations than I saw in Tokyo! LOL #echelon2011 #hksat
