HereToNetwork will be exhibiting at the Launch48 Showcase event on 2nd September. We will be showing off a demo of our app on an iPhone. There will be 17 other startups trying to impress the judges, so competition is fierce!
We’re looking forward to meeting some investors and hearing from the…
I’m really excited about exhibiting at Launch48 Showcase. HereToNetwork began at the Birmingham Launch48 weekend and has come so far since then. One of the most recent break-throughs was realising that we need to be a showguide and day planning platform to create value for an individual user. I think this Startup Quote helps to explain. We can then build on that, add other modules and begin to optimise networking at events.
I hope life is treating you well.
I am wondering how is it going with the project and ith the Sales team in particular. I would still like to join you and I hope I can contribute as much as I think I can.
just in case u dont remember me (been a while) - I am that ambitious naggy Russian who is doing cross-boarder labour leasing.

I like his style - I finished reading the closing sentence and immediately knew EXACTLY who he was.
An Evangelist will most likely spend his day & most of his nights communicating, informing, teaching, solving, helping, connecting, moderating, arguing, motivating, getting & keeping people excited about what you, your company and its product do. You’re a company’s sonar, you listen to what is being said outside and you channel that feedback into the product.
Even better when it doesn’t stop there: at the same time you’re excited about an entire industry (tech & music - in that order) or a ‘movement’ (open source, API’s, entrepreneurship, independent artists) and you’re an advocate for remarkable things and people working hard every day to make a change.
If you find the company you love and end up being its Evangelist, you probably have found your dream job. You can’t call it a job though, it’s so much more than that.

This is exactly how I feel about HereToNetwork. Once we got underway with development at the Birmingham Launch48 event, it hit me that this startup was exactly what I’ve been looking for.
The problem we are going to solve is how to ensure that event attendees meet with relevant people to make the most powerful connections. Our solution to this is so exciting and so pleasing to me personally that I absolutely have to be working on it.
We are solving a problem that I unearthed while writing my post graduate dissertation on networking and social capital in the web2.0 industry, but I didn’t properly recognise it or wonder how it could be solved.
