In the time between February 16th and 18th we stayed in Barcelona to partake in the TechCrunch Mobile 2010 Event. Owing to the fortunate circumstances that the Mobile World Congress took place at the same time in Barcelona, the city was filled with over 30.000 people from all around the globe with their main focus on “Mobile Internet”.

At the night of our arrival we met up with Jason Harris. Jason is from the states, a talented Cocoa developer and has been living in Barcelona for three years. Together with Jason we went to the Betty Ford bar in the evening and came to converse about the SevenSnap application. Jason, who himself had contributed to a number of cool apps, was sold on SevenSnap.

The next day the TechCrunch Mobile 2010 Event took place. Mike Butcher from TechCrunch Europe inaugurated and led through the convention. The event was very interesting since the whole internet market was approached from different perspectives. The mixture of startups, ideas and investors made the event quite dynamic and attractive.

During the networking-breaks, we made use of the opportunity to show our app to a few people. It was especially important for us to get some feedback. That is why we were all the more happy that invariably all person that we showed it to thought that it was a pretty cool idea. In the context of these conversations, we came into closer contact with two big and well-known VC-enterprises and were able to win Mike over. After the TechCrunch Event, we went to the Admob party together with Gabriel from TheStartupDigest. The party took place in a Swedish pub right in the middle of Barcelona. There were approximately 200 people in the cramped space, talking for hours about the exciting mobile internet. It was also here that we were apt to strike up a conversation and were able to conduct a few interesting dialogues.

After a few beers and a pit-stop at Burger-King we were on our way back to hotel.

At the last day of our stay in Barcelona, we had a few intense discussions about the future of SevenSnap. On the one hand we thought about by which further functions our app could be extended, and on the other hand which electronic platforms we wanted to make accessible in the future.

All in all, our trip to Barcelona was very interesting. We met a lot of interesting people and had a number of good conversations. But now we want to work out the last details of the SevenSnap app and to be represented in the App Store as soon as possible.
