Foound And HomeCamera Doing Singapore Proud At DEMO Fall 2010
September 15, 2010 by Gwendolyn Regina T
If you use Gmail and live in the US, you might have tried out Google’s new in-email calling service. Did you know that this technology was partially built on top of GrandCentral, a company Google acquired back in 2007? And what’s pertinent here is that GrandCentral first launched at the DEMO conference in 2006.
Since 1991, DEMO has been focused on being a platform where new upcoming technology companies launch their product to fellow conference attendees. This DEMO Fall 2010 (happening these few days) will feature a total of 70 companies from across the globe, each of which had been selected by VentureBeat and paid a fee for the right to present at the conference. Two Singapore companies, Foound and HomeCamera (aka GoToCamera and Pechora Technologies) are at DEMO Fall 2010.
