Last Month
MBA World Trophy
We have cast a fairly broad net across Europe with several high profile invitations that we took advantage of during May. Denny represented Golsie at the MBA World Trophy in Dublin, which provided great exposure to various MBA programs around the world.
INSEAD Pitch Lab
On May 14th, Tom traveled to Paris to present at the INSEAD Pitch Lab, a great event co-led by the INSEAD Business Angels and Harvard Business Angels Clubs with 75+ people in attendance. We took advantage of this great opportunity for feedback, networking and speaking with potential investors.
MindTheBridge Bootcamp
Lastly, Golsie was selected as one of 16 startups (Out of over 150 applicants) to travel to the Italian Alps (Trento) and attend the MindTheBridge Bootcamp on May 15th and 16th. At the Bootcamp, we worked on business plan details with high profile mentors, networked with other high-potential European startups and potentially gained access to Silicon Valley investors through the MindTheBridge Accelerator Program.
NEXT STEPS
1. Product Testing: Most importantly, expect to see our iOS free app available worldwide on the App Store by the end of June! We will keep you well aware of the release, as well as subsequent releases for Android and Windows platforms later this summer. If you have any product-related suggestions or know any rock star app developers who may have interest in joining the Golsie team, please email sriram at golsie.com.
2. Partnerships: Second, we have gained traction with several partners in both the U.S. and Europe that will enable us to roll-out Golsie at a very low cost to over 250k users in the first 3-6 months! We are very excited about these partnerships and can’t wait to tell you more.
If you know any goal-oriented larger organizations (marathon planners, coaching/mentoring, health/wellness, or career/education) that may make great initial partners with Golsie, please help put us in touch and email denny at golsie.com.
3. Funding: In early July, we aim to finalize our seed round. We have strong commitment and interest from several investors (many of you are on this email) and we look to close out this round with an additional 50-75k EUR of equity. Please email tom at golsie.com for more details regarding a seed round investment.
