I spent the last three days in New York City at TechCrunch Disrupt with two KBJ Capital portfolio companies: Yumm.com and APPEK Mobile Apps.
Both Yumm and APPEK absolutely crushed TechCrunch Disrupt!
APPEK Mobile Apps
From the time Adam Ceresko and Andrew Herman (Cofounders of APPEK) hit the Start-up Alley floor on Monday until the place closed down around 6pm the booth was packed – even Michael Arrington (founder of TechCrunch) stopped by with questions for the guys, as did representatives from Sequoia Capital, Google, and Bing.
Appek Mobile Apps is a B2B Mobile App Development Company – the company was created to fill the void between customer demand for mobile application development needs and high-end development. Appek focuses on funded start-ups and large clients and the reception from attendees of TechCrunch Disrupt was nothing short of positive.
Yumm.com
Yumm.com exhibited on Tuesday in front of hundreds of fellow foodies and technologists – Founder Chris Hedgecock absolutely rocked the house with a demo of the soon-to-be-released Yumm iPad App (watch TechCrunch for the announcement). The excitement over the Yumm Web site and iPad app was awesome – so awesome that a major publicly traded company has taken an interest in a partnership – stay tuned!
A third KBJ Capital company, Highlighter.com was also in New York as cofounder Josh Mullineaux was in town for the Annual Book Expo, which was held at the Javitz Center – while Josh didn’t attend Disrupt he did attend Monday’s after party at the Hudson.
I’ve got to admit – I’m sincerely proud of the entrepreneurs I’ve invested in – to watch them in action is awesome!
