Rhomobile, one of six on-stage presenters, won the People’s Choice Award at our annual Launch Pad event yesterday after pitching to a panel of judges and a large crowd in our keynote room.
(The Launch Pad program, sponsored this year by Elance and supporting sponsor, Zoosk, is a unique public forum designed to spotlight new products or technologies being introduced to the Web 2.0 market. )
“We’re very excited and pleased to win the People’s Choice award at this year’s Web 2.0 Expo Launch Pad program,” said Adam Blum, Rhomobile CEO. “Rhomobile designed Rhodes to appeal to web developers and that targeting seemed to resonate with the Web 2.0 audience. We can’t think of a better venue to receive an award. Winning Launch Pad validates the Rhodes approach to use your web skills to write native apps.”
In addition to Rhomobile, the People’s Choice winner, AskYourTargetMarket.com, Engleasy (winner of last weekend’s Startup Weekend Bay Area), Pearltrees, Strings and Stupeflix also presented. Each of these finalists had the opportunity to showcase their new ideas on stage in front of the Web 2.0 Expo audience and receive real-time feedback from the following judges: Marshall Kirkpatrick of ReadWriteWeb, Ellen Pack of Elance and Brian Singerman of Founders Fund.
Thanks to all our participants, judges, sponsors, and audience members!
