PacficCoastBusinessTimesLogoWow! We did it! Amazing to think won against such a great field of competitors! We’re thrilled, and happy for the coverage in Pacific Coast Business Times.

In the marketing-oriented category, the $5,000 top winner was Birdeez, a smart phone application that helps bird watchers locate and identify birds then log and share their findings. While the idea sounds fanciful as a business, the judges and audience were persuaded…

“At first we though, Birds? What?” said Mike Panesis, one of the event’s organizers. “But this team impressed us every step of the way, with both their technology and their business.”

PacficCoastBusinessTimesLogoGreat coverage of the New Venture Competition, which we are happy to announce we ADVANCED TO THE FINAL! Very exciting to be in the Pacific Coast Business Times. Patrick even got his picture in there!

Among the more novel ideas was Birdeez, a smartphone and Web app to help bird watchers identify, log and share their sightings. Patrick Toerner, one of the students behind the idea, notes that “birders” often spend fanatically on binoculars and camera gear – and a full-color bird identification book. “That’s what we’re trying to get rid of,” he said.
