Breaking news! StockPodium got 1st place at the national round of NOVAtech 2009 competition.
The competition in this year’s NOVAtech event was tough. 11 Bulgarian teams took place in the 4th edition of NOVAtech after thorough selection from a jury of five – representatives from BIMT, NEVEQ Investment Fund, GRAMMA NET IS, BBAN and CrediBul. The business ideas have been evaluated based on the following criteria – technology innovation, applicability, competitive power, business model, market potential to mention some.
StockPodium’s presentation was in the late afternoon. It was a bit challenging as the jury and the public have been exposed to some really interesting presentations. Some might have been tired, so we had to catch their attention again. We’ve got 15 minutes for that, and I think we’ve managed to communicate our passion and excitement for StockPodium with everybody in the room. The Jury had interesting questions to ask and that was great sign we are on the right track.
We were convinced StockPodium was one of the best project presented at the event. Getting the 1st place wasn’t expected but was much appreciated. We are really trilled we are going to Tel Aviv to compete on the semifinals together with Greenergy Consulting team, that was given 2nd place.
We’ve put a lot of efforts to prepare for the competition and getting to the semifinals was such a reward. We have to work a little bit to polish our business plan and presentation to make really good impression in Tel Aviv.
It’s party time now, but we will be posting very soon on our progress and hope you will hear good news from Israel in October too!
