What do we think separated Mob4Hire from the other 1200 applicants?

"I think that we have an elegant solution to a large problem in a massive industry. There is really no one else doing what we do in the same way. There are 3 billion mobile phones in use today and a massive amount of software being written for those handsets. The problem of fragmentation in the mobile industry is huge - currently estimated at $3 billion. There is no effective way to test on a foreign network unless you are on that network. It is a location specific problem which plays perfectly to the strengths of our crowd-sourced methodology." says Paul Poutanen, President and Founder of Mob4Hire (pictured here with Alex Vieux, CEO, Red Herring).

Mob4Hire selected as Finalist for Red Herring top 100

The industry recognition keeps on happening; we've just been named as a finalist for the Red Herring North America award ... "a prestigious list honoring the year’s most promising private technology ventures in North America." The Red Herring editorial team selected the most innovative companies from a pool of 1,200, so we're already very honoured to make that cut! Paul Poutanen (prez and founder of Mob4Hire) will be in San Diego next week presenting at the Red Herring event.
