Stockholm Tech Meetup was an event that we join with Paramvir Singh on 16th of November. It was in Hilton Slussen. Them main guest was TeliaSonera. TeliaSonera is a leading phone carrier from Norway to Nepal, but Telia has recently made some big investments to some Swedish startups. These startups actually growth exponentially with their investment.
Firstly they started the event by talking about recent developments in Nordic startups. Especially in sweden many startups has been created and gain success very quickly. I really liked this part because it gives me inspiration and motivation to make business in Sweden.
When they were talking about the sucess about Nordic startups this picture appeared and then they presented several news about sale of swedish startups with high profits.
The guy who made the presentation was very professional and experience in silicon valley long time. His name is Tyler Crowley and he is the organizer of this event. After the opening presentation, 3 different startups made their pitch and the main purpose was the gain of TeliaSonera investment. First Startup was called Ice Cream. Basically it was an photo sharing app but there the app selects the photos to share with your friend automatically and allow you to choose which photos to share.
The other startup was blood control service which gives to customer detailed analysis of information about their blood and body. And the last and the most popular startup was called ORB. They were giving 3D music service with a platform like gaming with access of music, lyrics, videos and more. They good point of this startup was they were not trying to compete against Spotify. Their purpose was to create additional service for them. I think initially it is better not to have big enemies.
Finally, next event was announced and it will be on 7th December. I am looking forward to it. Additionally there will be an event called Internet Discovery Day which seems very useful as well. I totally recommend everybody to join next one.
