2 Latin America Start-ups to watch! They Won Their Regional Finals by transforming industries!
Two Latin American startups changing the way brands and bands interact with their fans! These change moments will help to transform an entire industry!
Have you ever stood in line to hear your favorite local band? From my experience, that seems to be a universal thing to have to do to hear your favorite band perform. But what if you could just watch them live from your living room couch? What if you could participate to more personal performance delivered through an app?
That's exactly what Netshow.me does! Winner and Judge's choice of our SmartCamp Latin America Regional Finals, Netshow.me is a live-media channel for online marketing, promotion and performing! Their solution can literally strengthening the relationship between broadcasters and performers with their fan base! Live streaming broadcasts can give bands total freedom and autonomy to perform whenever and wherever they want. Very cool! Follow them on Twitter @Netshowme.
The People's Choice award went to Store Level, a provider of real time in-store execution monitoring using crowd sourcing and mobile technology. Store Level's mobile app allows consumers to execute social media-type missions based on the brands' needs.
In exchange for their work, they can receive cash rewards! Think about the possibilities! Using Store Level, you could actually get paid helping out the brands you enjoy most! Simultaneously, brands can analyze the results directly from their cloud-based dashboard. Talk about a mobile workforce!
Congrats to our two winners, and we look forward to seeing Netshow.me at the SmartCamp Global Finals!
