Welcome To Indicatr – Insights For Investors
–
For several years I have admired Gerd Leonhard’s work as a futurist in technology, internet, media & entertainment (and from following him on twitter), but when we finally met face-to-face while doing a joint speaking engagement at Nokia Siemens Networks in Munich we realised that we shared a great deal in common.
We love music and have both been professional guitar players, we have a passion and fire for public speaking, a deep curiosity about the future and a wide network of interesting people.
So over a few beers (and a massive duck) at Oktoberfest, it transpired that we both also have a serious passion for entrepreneurship and startups, and both of us are constantly talking to interesting new companies, trying out new services and ideas. Post beer-guzzling, we met in London and decided to launch a new company together – and thanks to the likes of WordPress, Twitter and Blip.tv, we proudly present Indicatr which launched yesterday (16th November 2009).
Indicatr’s mission is simple: it’s a service for investors that highlights the most promising opportunities, based on a deep understanding of the technology, internet, media & entertainment. For our clients, we identify major trends and immediate future scenarios, and then suggest startups that will do well, based on these insights. Our services in detail can be found here.
On the Indicatr site, our posts about new companies are in video format. These are short reviews lasting only a few minutes. We call these ‘our hunches’ and you can subscribe to all videos and thus our newest hunches (hopefully, at least one per week), over at our blip.tv channel. Our new Twitter channel, broadcasting our news and many more ‘hunches’, is here.
If you have a hunch and you want to twitter it, please use the hashtag #hunch which is monitored by @indicatr
