Top 10 Apps to Get the Most out of International Startup Festival 2015
By now you probably have read the two nice pieces from LP Maurice from BusBud and Sylvain Carle from Real Ventures about how to take advantage of the International Startup Festival (if you haven’t you know what to do on pipi break: https://go.mtlnewtech.com/Startupfest1 & https://go.mtlnewtech.com/Startupfest2). But at MTL NewTech, we couldn’t let a startup conference (euh…festival!) go without trying to find if there were some startups that could be useful for the audience, so we started digging…
Well, we were expecting to do a top 3, then a top 5, but it seems that we are reaching a top 10 here! 10! Hmmm well, we don’t really want to play curator here, and think that all the startups below deserve a fair chance to be tried by the awesome attendees of #Startupfest, enjoy the discovery!
Oh, and tell us what’s YOUR top 3 :)
