Since the launch of the beta version today, our goals:
These two years were really challenging for the whole team! After being signaled among the eight most interesting global reality by the Intel Global Challenge 2014 in Berkeley, California, in early 2015 we were selected among the most promising startups in Europe by MasterCard, by Techstars – one of the main accelerator of startups in the US – and by Global Entrepreneur Programme (GEP) – program for startups promoted by the English government department UK Trade & Investment (UKTI).
We closed this first half of 2015 with about 500,000 Euro production value and over 150 customers!
What will change now?
Thanks to the participation of these international investors, we will be able to grow even more rapidly than we have until today and get to expand internationally!
The capital share will enable us to expand the team dedicated to the development and promotion of the products, improve customer care and user service. So keep an eye on our jobpage, maybe the next #Buzzooler will be you!
We will further enhance research and development to create a system of Real Time Bidding and become the first platform for the purchase of RTB visibility 100% native.
We will focus on internationalization, opening two offices in London and New York by 2016, have already started this year by making buzz marketing campaigns for the USA, UK, France and Eastern Europe – and on scalability of the platform with the objective to get to 1,000 customers within the next twelve months.
Moreover thanks to the support of Digital Magics, we will consolidate our position in the Italian market, with the entry of senior account following the top clients, supporting the development of the digital start-ups, which are currently growing 30% month over month. Buzzoole has closed its first semester of 2015 with about 500.000 euro production value.
Special thanks, however, goes to you all: our influencers, who joined our community to our customers who are now more than 150. They have recognized the effectiveness of our platform and to all our #Buzzoolers who contributed with their work and their passion to make this project great.
To all of you, thanks a million!
