My Call for Mobile Messaging Up Starts
by Paul Ruppert
I’m looking for a few good mobile messaging companies (early stage) to present to conference producer friends of mine who have asked for my help in identifying ‘below the radar start ups’ in the mobile messaging segment.
I’m always looking for new topics to write about so when three producer friends asked for my help in the last 
month, their requests caught my interest and drove me to action.
If warranted I’ll blog about the company as part of our innovation identification effort here at MM2.
Consideration Criteria
Send a short making your case note, or power point, to me at pruppertMM2 at gmaildotcom if you are an angel funded or early stage (Series A or soon to be Series B) company and you think you should be part of my consideration and would be interesting to a mobile industry conference producer. We’re seeking intriguing messaging innovation as much as creative commercial plays–and I know that N. America is not the source of all things mobile.
Biased as a business centric more than creative type, my filters are about what’s the path to revenue, quality of a team, type of solution, competitive positioning, barriers to entry, access advantages, burn rate, etc., which start up companies offer. Eons ago I was a product developer identifying innovative mobile technology / solutions, and even then I preferred to focus on scalable revenue potential as opposed to cool technnology. I admit it, my filters might be a little askew for the developer crowd, yet I’m enlightened and experienced enough to see the combinatorial value of both in a fledgling firm.
Thanks and Good luck!
