Anyone can count the seeds of a cut apple, but who can count the trees and apples in a single seed?
Probably the most prepared in this field are those 70 mentors of Seedcamp Budapest, who by now must be eager to meet the 20 most potential startups around Europe.
Easyling has been selected as finalist. We are delighted. Continue reading

Almost five thousand miles (eight thousand kilometres): that’s how much business travel we have in the recent few weeks in connection with Skawa. No matter how tiresome this period was, it was worth the effort: we gained a lot of encouragement and experiences.
First in the line was The Next Web in Amsterdam, a huge conference on the future of web business, where start-ups like us also had a chance to present their products, developments. A global conference of a booming sector as The Next Web was, the vast hall that used to be the headquarters of a gasworks was overcrowded. This was good news for us as we could meet lots of inquirers, potential clients and investors. Thanks to our success at the How-to-Web conference, we also had an exhibitor’s desk where we presented our most recent development, the website translation tool Easyling. We prepared a small add-on to the product: typing in the website address, Easyling immediately provides clients with an offer. This raised the attention of visitors, so now is the time to hope that there were many investors amongst the bunch of people who visited our desk. Also start-up peers were interested in this low-cost solution for making We also experienced a great failure, though: we couldn’t once get a hit at the game which could best be labelled “Where will the cow shit?”. Anyway, we compensated with a brief photo session at the premises.
We are happy that the mainstream feedback we received from this rather professional public was that Easyling filled a niche on the market. There are no easy-to-use and reliable technical solutions for website translation. As a result, we were asked to keep quite a few webinars about the operation of Easyling in the following weeks. And we hope will we pick up the thread from here at ELIA’s next Networking Days in Budapest, at October 4 to 6.
All in one, with these unique experiences, we very much agree with Delicious-developer Chad Hurley, who – in his presentation at The Next Web – claimed: “it is the journey that matters, not the arrival”. Looking back to the past weeks and forward to the upcoming months, we are certain: |
The time has come: Amsterdam, brace yourself for Skawa!
Why deny it: we are getting overexcited as The Next Web Conference is drawing nearer. We will be flying to Amsterdam tomorrow, to go to one of the best conferences an IT-startup can go. More than 1500 experts and professionals are expected to attend this huge conference: guys from small startups just like us to industry leaders, IT geeks and to a wide variety of media.
Expect stuff you’ve never seen on an event before, things you’ve never heard of, expect the best content, an amazing show, great people – that’s what the organizers promise us.
Well, what else can we say: we’ll do our best to contribute to all these. And, by doing so, I’m sure, we as well will be blown away. Hope to see you on the spot!
