Zipipop, a new media startup with deep roots inside Media Lab, is making good progress since winning Best Early-stage Startup at this summer’s Mobile 2.0 Europe conference (http://about.zipipop.com/press_releases) in Barcelona. They won the award for their fun, fast event organizing service – Zipiko.
Most of the Zipipop team are still studying at Media Lab and their thesis studies are closely related to the company’s activities. They are rapidly generating new theories that are being picked up on in the blogosphere (http://about.zipipop.com/blogosphere).
“We really value our relationship with our fellow Mlabbers. The Lab provides a creative backdrop and reference point for our endeavours. A new spirit of entrepreneurship is being fostered inside the Lab and we look forward to showing that the pursuit of financial independence is best achieved through creativity, efficiency and social concern.” Richard von Kaufmann, co-founder.
They are now actively looking for user-testing help to polish Zipiko before they present it again at Mobile 2.0 in San Francisco on 4 November 2008. So we urge you to try out Zipiko and send them feedback. And, if you wish to take part in a fully user-test, then please contact Helene Auramo (helene.auramo zipipop.com).
