One of the companies that first crossed my radar back in the fall at Fall VON was Fonolo. Shai Berger took me through his deck, much the way Craig Walker did a year earlier with GrandCentral. As I listened to what was unfolding I kept relating mentally and verbally to my own personal experiences, and like GrandCentral was a solution to a major pain point, I realized just how much Fonolo would do to solve other pain points for so many of us.
I liked what I heard so much, I joined their advisory board and they’ve also become a client.
Fast forward to February. Shai and his team were closing in on their beta release. eComm was looming. He was presenting and the day of the presentation, he hit it out of the park. In the hallways and in chat sessions a lot of people were talking to me about Fonolo. Now this week, one of our favorite industry analyst/consultants, and good friend, Martin Geddes has weighed in with what is typically Martin. A bulls-eye, dead on the mark post that crystalizes all the Fonolo is and will be.
Martin uses words like genuinely brilliant and extra interesting the way I open bottles of 1982 Bordeaux. Sparingly. His high praise for a company that is still angel backed and in beta is both heartwarming as it as it further reaffirms my hunch that Fonolo is a true Voice 2.0 company that has a market to serve.
You can hear more great insight from Martin if you attend Telco 2.0 like I am in London on April 16 and 17th.
