San Francisco-based startup Go Go Mongo!, winner of Startup Weekend 2010 for the Bay Area and subsequent presenter at the Web 2.0 Expo Launchpad Event in San Francisco in May 2010, has been chosen to present at this year’s Startup Showcase at Web 2.0 Expo New York, happening October 10-13, 2011 at the Sheraton NY Hotel & Towers.
“We are extremely grateful to be presenting at the Web 2.0 Expo for the second time, and believe that our current version of Go Go Mongo! will incite interest among attendees while opening up an important dialogue about the future of kids’ health”
Go Go Mongo! (previously called EnglEasy) will join a handful of startups from 5:25 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. EST on Wednesday, October 12, 2011 for the event. Startup Showcase highlights the startup ecosystem’s creativity and variety, and offers attendees a chance to preview the newest Web 2.0 companies entering the market. At the end of the event, judges Joanne Wilson and Mo Koyfman will each announce their top pick along with the audience favorite; these three startups will then pitch their product in front of the audience and have an on-stage conversation with the judges.
“We are extremely grateful to be presenting at the Web 2.0 Expo for the second time, and believe that our current version of Go Go Mongo! will incite interest among attendees while opening up an important dialogue about the future of kids’ health,” remarked Ahmed Siddiqui, founder of Go Go Mongo! “Whatever the outcome of the Showcase, we know this is a unique platform for our brand to gain mindshare not only in the startup community, but also among established Web 2.0 decision makers who have major influence in the marketplace.”
