NYC AWS Pop-up Loft Pitch Event
Yesterday I had the pleasure of visiting Amazons Pop-up loft in SoHo, and listen to five startups pitch their ideas to a crowd of fellow engineers, entrepreneurs and VC investors. Each presentation had something unique to offer and many triggered interest from the crowd, but one of them in particular stood out.
Only one of them made me forget I was standing, forget my surroundings and get lost in the swirl of ideas and possibilities. It was Skopenow, a service which crawls the internet to compile profiles for people. Ultimately generating a report which is someones digital identity. They interestingly avoid the stickypoints of privacy litigation by not storing data themselves and instead aggregating it live from other companies and services.
