It’s been quite a while since we’ve posted anything as we’ve been crazy busy. That’s a good reason right? Here is what’s been going on with Looxii:
Working on Looxii Beta
We recently closed a round of funding, which is probably the biggest news. This funding makes it possible for us to continue to completely devote ourselves to rolling out the beta app. The app itself is going to feature many more data sources and give businesses – and individuals – an extremely simple means of interacting with, and making sense of, the massive amount of information floating around on the social web. Look for that in January.
Interview with Gravity Free Radio
Back in October we had the privilege to sit down with Stephanie Frost of Gravity Free Radio for an interview about our experience with Shotput Ventures. Sanjay Parekh was also on hand to talk about SPV from the investors’ perspective. Definitely worth a listen if you’d like to learn more about SPV, Looxii or Atlanta startups.
Conferences!
It’s been really exciting getting out in the wild and meeting more people in the ATL and Southeast business scenes. Since August we’ve attended several conferences, including PR Camp Atlanta and Internet Summit ’09, presented at the Lift B2B Summit and demoed at Future Media Georgia. The responses to our alpha app at each event have been really encouraging and we’ve been able to glean some valuable insights that are going to help us moving forward.
Quick Redesign
Actually, there’s no such thing as a quick redesign. We decided to give our landing page and blog a simpler look without sacrificing too much beta development time. Visually, we got a little gradient happy, but the message about what the alpha app actually does is much clearer.
