A startup company that built a location-based social network for events. Spotie was on a mission to disrupt the event industry, through the LBS system that helped you find nearby events, interact with events and attendees, and purchase your event tickets. The company was angel-funded and rewarded on many startup pitching competitions. Unfortunately, it failed to expand and turned out to be such a wonderful educational experience for me and my co-founders, many of whom built other great companies afterward.
