Mobile Monday Barcelona

June is here and the flocks of tourists announce the coming of summer, the perfect time to present our own local entrepreneurial talent. Next MobileMonday on June 11 is about Barcelona Mobile Startups!

In the last months we have had previous presentations by local startups such as MyStrands, Lemonquest, Mobile Dreams Factory, Mobuzz, Futurlink and Daem Interactive. This time we have a dedicated event: it’s time to present our next wave of talented, young and ambitious companies active in the different fields in Mobile.

Speakers:

* Vadim Tarasov, Founder & CEO of bmat - http://bmat.com

BMAT enables computers and devices to understand music like humans do to provide musical search services, enhances the experience by selecting music that suits the user’s mood, can remove the vocal track from your favorite tune so that you sing along, even change your own voice so you can sound like your favorite artist. BMAT’s solutions convert a mobile phone from just a communication device into a full-blown multimedia entertainment center.

* Lluís Carreras, General Manager of Mobifriends - http://mobifriends.com

Founded in October 2005, Mobifirends aims to develop a new concept in dating and social networking. Being mobile focused, without forgetting the web, Mobifriends users can look for people to share hobbies, interests, make friends, flirt, or find a new love. They can contact each other through an integrated anonymous communication system (SMS, Chat and videochat). Still in testing the Alpha version, this is a unique chance to get to know Mobifriends before their launch later this year.
