Canadian Cloud Startup shines at CloudBeat in San Francisco
Earlier this month Vancouver's Xiimo was one of ten finalists at VentureBeat's CloudBeat Conference in San Francisco. Tagged as one of the most disruptive cloud based technology companies by a panel of cloud experts and venture capital teams, Xiimo beat out 100+ other software startups in the cloud space.
Xiimo makes smart tools for small businesses allowing them to publish local promotions, accept mobile payments, create loyalty programs and benefit from smart analytics. All from a single, easy-to-use dashboard.
Xiimo is currently in private alpha moving towards private beta in February and public beta by March 2012. They have also hinted at a major partnership announcement that could accelerate traction very soon.
Currently bootstrapped with some additional funding from friends and family, Xiimo is actively seeking angel investors in Vancouver and the Valley to accelerate development, release and marketing efforts. A task that is no doubt a little easier after the CloudBeat exposure.
Xiimo was founded by Vish Talreja and AJ Philippakis, both ex-Razorfish and Microsoft where Talreja was a Director of Global Delivery and Philippakis ran Program Management.
