Roundtable Recap: July 19 – Winners Of A&N Media-Elance Contest With Kings College, London

During today’s roundtable, we held the finals of the A&N Media-Elance contest co-hosted by King’s College, London. This was perhaps one of the absolute best sets of pitches at a contest final this year.

Happerture
First, Dr. Dele Omotosho and Michela Menting from London pitched Happerture, a vertical ad network for healthcare mobile apps. As a concept, vertical ad networks have been quite successful, with companies like Glam Media, Travel Ad Network and Adify leading the pack. Happerture’s presentation, however, had other elements of a review site and a storefront for mobile healthcare apps, which confused the pitch somewhat.

Roundtable Recap: July 12 – Spotlight On Western Massachusetts

During today’s roundtable, we turned the spotlight on Western Massachusetts, spanning the Northampton – Amherst area and the home of Smith College (my undergraduate alma mater), Amherst College, UMass, Mt. Holyoke and Hampshire College.

Bakepedia
First, Dede Wilson from Amherst, Massachusetts, pitched Bakepedia, a site focused on baking, with recipes as well as other kinds of content. Dede’s thesis is that a large portion, almost 6 million, of the allrecipes.com traffic of 25 million consumers is looking for baking related content. She wants to provide validated recipes that are tried and true, based on experiments in a testing kitchen. She is in discussion with potential sponsors such as Kitchen Aid and King Arthur Flour.

I think there is definitely a business opportunity here. The size of the opportunity and the business model (advertising vs. commerce) have yet to be figured out.
