Last week was a great one for Assetize, as we were invited to present at DemoCamp and were also covered by a couple of great bloggers.

DemoCamp (9/24): While Yossi Vardi was the main attraction, getting a chance to pitch to a crowd of ~200 at DemoCamp Toronto was a great experience for us. A special thanks to all the attendees who approached us after the presentation to offer valuable feedback. It reassures us that we’re building a real solution for a real problem, and are in an exciting space.

Aside: Two great quotes from the always-funny Yossi Vardi:

1) “Who here uses instant messaging? Thanks for your business; I sold each of you for $84.” [Yossi was the founding investor for ICQ]

2) Extending Isaac Newton’s quote – ”If I have achieved anything, it’s by standing on the shoulders of children.” [Yossi is still an active investor in Israel, and often funds young entrepreneurs]

StartupNorth (9/24): Our new Ad Network service received coverage here. David Crow is well-read blogger and is well-connected in the Canadian startup scene, so we’re glad to have made the cut!

Twitterrati (9/25): Mark Evans and Twitterrati also wrote about us, which you can read here. His coverage has been very helpful in getting the word out – the post has been retweeted numerous times!

Thanks to all that have covered us over the last few months, and given us the opportunity to present what we believe is a valuable service to users and companies alike. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
