Continuing with a theme of start-up and
SME related topics, we move from last month's product focused Demo Night to
planning this month's finance focused event. Oh, and read on
for more info about how to enter the draw for free tickets to MWC, kindly
donated by our lovely friends over at Globo plc.
Demo Night 21 Jan
The snow could not keep the crowds away
from last Monday week's demo night and once again we enjoyed hearing from an
eclectic mix of start-ups through to more established companies across a wide
range of product areas. Naturally the subject of HTML5 vs Native made an early
appearance, though pleasingly it formed only a small part of the
proceedings!
Check out the round up from the event at http://www.mobilemonday.org.uk/2013/01/all-about-demo-night.html
Next Event March - Finance for
Start Ups and SMEs
We are hoping to run a follow up to our
last very popular event on growth opportunities for SMEs and Start-Ups which we
ran just over a year ago
http://www.mobilemonday.org.uk/2011/12/write-up-mobile-monday-28th-november.html.
Once again John Spindler of Capital
Enterprise has kindly agreed to take the chair - and will once again give his
inimitable whistle stop tour of what funding and other options there are. We're
currently putting together the panel for that and we're also interested in
hearing from potential supporters for the event.
When I say interested, what I actually
mean is that we rely on the support of our generous sponsors to stage events
and so please do contact us if you're in a position to help!

they say about their GO!Enterprise product, which he presented:
Globo’s GO!Enterprise, is a

management of applications running on any device, delivered in a secure

10 places available now for The Mobile
Academy - April 2013
So, you may have heard us talking about
The Mobile Academy, jointly run by Mobile Monday London and University College
London. We now have alumni from our programme which ran at the end of last year
- seems odd to say alumni, but that's what they are! We were very touched by
the wonderful feedback they gave us, and encouraged by this we are delighted to
announce another 36-hour evening programme for anyone keen to start or continue
their journey in mobile innovation.
Focussing on the practical business,
design and technological aspects of developing successful mobile products,
services and experiences, this programme is delivered by industry experts –
many of whom are members of our Mobile Monday London community.
The waiting list is growing every week
and currently sits at just over 100. There are only 65 places available on the
programme. In tune with our community ethos we very much want to offer
discounted places to individuals, start-ups, those in education and so on.
However, we are giving priority to those who are in a position to pay the full
course fee of £3,000. You can probably use a calculator as well as I can, but
you'll see that that's an absolute bargain at well under £100 per hour of
tuition. I don't suppose you have any doubt about the value and quality of the
course, but we're very proud of it and you can see what our alumni said about
it at themobileacademy.org.uk.
So, we're giving priority to full-price
tickets and applications are open now for that. Please contact Julia as soon as
you can to reserve your place and/or to talk about broader Mobile Academy
sponsorship opportunities. julia@themobileacademy.org.uk
Meanwhile please remember to register
your interest on the wait list, we'll be opening registrations for discounted
places in March.
That's all for now. Hope to catch you on
the 18th.
Jo
