BeeBole Elevator Pitch @ Plugg

Published on by

Last Thursday in Brussels, we attended the Plugg conference, which focuses on celebrating entrepreneurship and innovation in Europe.

First of all, a big thanks to Robin Wauters and Veronique Pochet for the organization: it was a success!

Secondly, as I announced 3 weeks ago, BeeBole had been selected to do an elevator pitch of 2 min on stage.

You can watch it hereunder (It is not the same as the one appearing in the previous post) and find the slides on Slidehsare:

Plugg – BeeBole Elevator Pitch

We didn’t make it to the final but we’ve had wonderful feedback during the rest of the event and even got some press on TechCrunch.

Mic also held a small interview in Spanish for Ramón Suárez and his blog. (Thank you Ramón).

To end up, I would like to congratulate Mendeley and Myngle for winning the Start-Up Rally. Both have not only good products; they are also great people to meet.

You can find all the other videos, pictures and presentations of the conference here.
