Title: Big Boss Admin asking for your help :)
Post by admin on Sep 17th, 2009, 8:01pm
Some of you may know that I now live in the US and have a business over here providing Free WiFI hotsots around the USA.

We have an opportunity to present our business to an audience of investors in October - normally these things cost thousands of dollars and are booked way in advance but there is a competition running at www.vator.tv that if we get enough votes then we will get the chance to do this for free :)

So, if any of you would be able to create an account at www.vator.tv (it's a web site for startup companies) and search for 'dSpot' and vote for us in the competition that would be wonderful and I'd be very appreciative.

The step by step guide to make it simple is as follows:

Go to www.vator.tv and click Start Now

Fill in the form with your details making sure the email address is valid (they don't send spam)

When it asks you to import your address book click No Thanks
Uncheck the "follow 15 companies" and then click "Follow these companies" at the bottom

Wait for the confirm email to arrive and then click on the confirmation link.

When logged into the site, uncheck all the boxes about following companies and use the search box to search for dspot (that's my company)

Click on the dSpot logo to see our page - now this is the important bit - on the right hand side is a box that says Don't forget to vote - and you click on "Submit your vote".

This then opens a page about the competition and at the bottom of the page you will see the dSpot logo and a link to "Vote for this company" - please click this to vote for us.

To anyone who can do this for me, I'm greatly appreciate. The end date is September 30th.

Thanks all

Steve

Please ask friends, family, the dog, cat or hamster to get on to vator.tv and vote for dSpot.

Can someone post it on the email message list too ?

You guys are the BEST

The top 10 get to pitch so it's looking good so far!

It's going to be a bit like 'Dragons Den' but friendlier :)

THANKS!

I don't know what to say - even though we received the 6th highest number of votes (thanks everyone!) they turned around and said that we were not successful. I am gutted and very angry. It appears that they only invited companies that had recognised investors/names behind them so it made them look better.

Unbelieveable!!

But thanks everyone for your efforts - I really appreciate it and just sorry that we didn't get the opportunity to pitch.

Life goes on .......

Post by Jonnycab on Oct 7th, 2009, 1:46am
Why did they only invite companies that had recognised investors/names behind them ?....surely these companies don't need investment if they already have investors  ???

I can see why you're angry  >:(

So can I  >:(.  A ridiculous set-up.

Perhaps it was a way for them to get access to the investors, a chance to do a bit of name-dropping and a bit of self promotion, and grow their database, those investors probably logged on to help promote their investments.

Not hugely impressed with the quality of vators juice promotions.

In any case Steve, it sounds like you have a good idea there, keep at it!!

Geoff
