UK here we go..

by Mobitto Team

Last week we have participated at the Entrepreneurs Festival organized by TechCity UK (Mobitto, for those who don't know is a UK based company but currently with no operations in that country). The event hosted around 200 Startups coming all over Europe. In the overall it was a fun, insightful and inspiring event that helped us to understand the opportunities currently existing at this exciting and vibrant community for tech companies in London.

To cut the story short, that is where we will setup early 2012. Don't ask us with which money, under what conditions, but there is something that is granted: We will be there. The good thing about these events is that you get to know lots of like minded people who are willing to help you. This help ranged from investors, passing through potential partners, government institutions, up to ordinary people that just want to use our product! How awesome is that?

As you might imagine, things do not stop here. However, it is still early to talk about other developments. Therefore, if you like our service, if you think we can help you or you can help us, don't hesitate to reach us, we don't bite! Ok, maybe just a little...

Best Regards,
Your Mobitto Team 

PS: Many thanks to the UK Trade and Investment (especially the Portuguese branch) for the guidance and help provided throughtout the entire event.

The first numbers

by Mobitto Team

Three days have gone by since we officially launched and we decided to post some numbers regarding the first reactions. The truth is, they aren't great, but why should they? We didn't make any sort of advertisement at all.. Besides, we are talking about the Portuguese market..

Either way, 449 visits in 3 days is not a bad number. Yes, it helped being exposed in an article about Mobitto published by P3, the online version of the famous (in PT) Jornal Público. In terms of our iPhone app downloads, we got to 50, which gave us the 11th position in the Lifestyle category of Apple Store (the overall was #202). 

In terms of registrations it was translated into 67 (two of them, merchants). I am still wondering what people thaught after logging in and not seeing any deals. We even got one person that did not have an account at Apple Store PT asking us to send them a custom version of the app (.ipa file) for him.

That's pretty much it. Indeed not famous, but it's a start, right? Soon you will hear more about our deals. In fact, until the end of the week there will be at least two real deals happening..

Stay tuned,
Your Mobitto Team

by Mobitto Team

Last week we told you we are ready to rock'n roll.. Well, now we are ready to rumble! In the meantime we got the iPhone app approved by the Apple Store and it is currently available in Portugal (our test market). Over the next weeks we will keep you posted about first reactions, customers, merchants and partners involved with our business..

For now, we invite you to download our app, try it out and provide all the feedback you find relevant. Good or bad, we would love to hear what you think. Don't expect too much deals if your are not near Lisbon. Either way, we are working hard to bring the best deals around you..

All the best,
Your Mobitto Team
