Our company, Auctomatic, has been acquired by Live Current Media. The story has appeared in a few news outlets, including The Irish Times, the BBC, and VentureBeat, which has an interview with Harjeet.
I’ll post some longer reflections later; sleep beckons right now!
Auctomatic now allows public sign-ups. Check it out and let us know what you think.
John and I were invited by James Corbett to speak at OpenCoffee Club in Limerick tomorrow morning, where we’ll be giving a quick talk about about Auctomatic (both the business and the tech)—in case you’re at a loss as to what to do with your Thursday morning. It starts at 11am at the AbsoluteHotel.com, and you can just turn up at the door.
There’s a great piece on the Seedcamp site about rules:
It’s ok to break the rules. That’s what entrepreneurship is about. But don’t break more than two of them (i.e. you must meet at least 6 of the 8 rules).
“You will break the rules within our predefined boundaries!”
I wonder if breaking the 6-out-of-8 meta-rule can count as one of your two permitted broken rules?
We were featured in The Irish Times today. It’s behind a subscription wall, so I’ve uploaded a screenshot version below.
Our new site just went live. Check it out at auctomatic.com.
