USEUM, the 1st prize winner of Athens Start-up Weekend 2012

USEUM participated in Athens Startup Weekend hosted by Microsoft Hellas last weekend and managed to win the 1st prize! From the official website of the competition: "1st place – USEUM - A brilliantly executed and presented platform that will disrupt the way we buy art. They describe it best as ‘A bridge between art lovers and artists. It’s a web platform where art enthusiasts can discover emerging artists based on their artistic preferences.’ This team will be visiting Berlin in March to pitch at HackFwd at the Pitch in Berlin V2 event"USEUM was represented by a team of 3 developers (Georgia Kalyva, George Manoltzas, Michalis Nikolaidis) and a businessman (Nikolaos Soulitzis), led by USEUM’s founder Foteini Valeonti. What a better way for us to kick start an only 2 month-old startup! We’re now aiming to keep the momentum in Berlin!

Due to the fact we received all sorts of feedback during ASW’12 we refined our initial concept. Hence we are currently working with invitation-only testers, to make sure that the updated USEUM is of certain quality when it launches! If you would like to participate as a tester please send us a message at support@useum.org.

We will be posting all our news, updates and progress on our Facebook page, so we hope you Like it and keep in touch! :-)
