Argon Design/Weightless SIG Speak with IoT Springboard
Matthew Bailey and Alan Woolhouse from the Weightless Marketing SIG were invited to spend an afternoon with the start-ups from the IOT Springboard - an Accelerator program focusing on supporting companies building Internet of Things (IoT) business propositions.The afternoon kicked off with a "show and tell" and Argon sharing its experience and showing some of the IoT products and solutions it has built for clients. Then we moved onto the main focus which was discussing Weightless and how this revolutionary technology could align with springboard business propositions. One planned hour turned into a four hour event with many companies having "one to one's" with Matthew Bailey & Alan Woolhouse of the Weightless SIG and arranging follow on sessions.
Some quotes from the entrepreneurs:-
"Weightless blew us all away. It's not every day that you get to see the tectonic plates shifting before everyone else" - José Pinto Ferreira, Founder and CEO of TOPPOT.
"Thanks for the presentation and chat today. Weightless has so much potential, it's a really exciting standard" - Steven Cains, Founder and CEO Boxing Tech.
"What a great presentation today, many thanks - you've given us much to think about!" - Armine Saidi. CEO & Co-Founder Wicastr.
"Thanks a lot for the very interesting meeting today", Hristo Alexiev, CEO and Founder Playground Energy.
"Thanks for your time, you're building mind-blowing technology!" - Bogdan Iordache, Program Manager IoT Springboard.
When asked about the event, Matthew said, "I am shattered, but this was truly awesome, not only have Springboard found an excellent set of entrepreneurs with fantastic ideas for IoT businesses, they immediately got it, they saw how Weightless could be used to widen and strengthen their business propositions. This accelerator approach is cutting edge for stimulating economic growth, hats off to the Springboard leadership".
Argon Design and the Weightless Marketing SIG wishes to thank Jon Bradford (founder of Springboard and MD Tech Stars), Springboard leaders Jess Williamson and Bogdan Iordache as well as the start-ups for arranging the event, participating, asking hard questions and above all, making us feel welcome with buns and tea!
