Dan Brown, Author. Speaker at Web Summit 2015
Dan Brown – Author

The mysterious head of a startup rainmaker event, The Web Summit, has started plans to move operations elsewhere, possibly under duress from an ancient order of monks whose power reaches far and wide. Founders have begun to be picked off one by one in grisly circumstances by a hulking monster known only as the Cash Crunch that appears out of nowhere. Can Dan Brown’s talk shed any light on this chilling situation? Probably not but you can bet he’ll have some interesting stuff to say.

How you can Start Making Revenue from Mobile Subscriber Data Usage (Webinar)

by on

We’re hosting a free webinar on 29th April @ 11am GMT, in which we will tackle a major issue facing mobile operators and service providers today. With the need to invest in the newest and fastest network infrastructure to support new standards such as LTE, ways to derive revenues from these investments must be found. This is made all the more urgent given the fact that traditional voice and messaging revenues are being cannibalised by over-the-top providers like WhatsApp and Skype, who are using the operators’ data utility to do it.

HAPI days: HeyStaks API helps developers to make their own social search applications

by on

We were delighted to launch our developer programme at the Dublin Web Summit last week and also to announce the small matter of €800K in venture funding that we raised earlier this year. We raised the funding to help us build out the platform and infrastructure for the HeyStaks API (which we’re affectionately calling HAPI!) and to support our initial customer engagements.

HAPI can be used to make any search environment social. Driving higher conversions on eCommerce sites through personalized listings, creating superior context-aware mobile search experiences, reducing search effort and duplicated efforts for educators, students and enterprises. All can now be achieved without without having to invest in new search infrastructure.

It’s a very exciting time for us as a team, and we can’t wait to see what wonderful uses people make of our platform. The full text of last week’s press release is below, so enjoy and get building!

HeyStaks selected for START 150 at the Dublin Web Summit

by on

Hurrah, hooray and huzzah, HeyStaks will be exhibiting with the world’s most exciting, disruptive startups at this year’s Dublin Web Summit.

logoWe’ve been selected to participate in the invite-only START 150 event, which runs in parallel to the Web Summit itself. It gives “incredible young companies” an opportunity to blow their trumpets to the gathered startup, media and investor attendees. Luckily we just bought a shiny new trumpet.

We’re planning a couple of juicy announcements at this year’s summit. The START 150 event will give us a great platform to sing our message about a Web where people find the content that they want to find, not the content that search engines think they want. Our platform for adding collaboration to any search environment has been on the boil for a while and now it’s time to lift the lid.

Stay tuned for more exclusives, and in the meantime we’d love to hear below if you’re heading to the Dublin Web Summit and what you’re looking forward to. We love meeting interesting people so please reach out.
