Collision Conf Post-Mortem

Posted on by Zak Dziczkowski

Phew! What a week Garageio had down in New Orleans at the Collision Conf! It was three awesome days of super informative talks, tons of cool and innovative startups showcasing their products, and networking with some influential people at the local bars during happy hour.

Our exhibitor booth got tons of traffic from the media, investors, speakers, and more. We spoke with a huge variety of people who wanted to hear our story and understand our technology. We were also super lucky to have a couple of awesome startups as neighbors! QuickTask, an employee time management software startup based out of Canada was on our right. And WASD Studio, a virtual reality startup based out of Mexico was on our left!

We made some great connections and found some interesting startups that you may see Garageio working with in the future! While it was difficult to step away from the development grind for almost an entire week, and now having heaps of emails to catch up on, it was totally worth it. Collision Conf is what a startup conference should be: All about the startups.

Can’t Wait to See You At Collision Conf 2016!

Posted on by Zak Dziczkowski

Next week 15,000 people will be heading down to New Orleans for Collision Conf for three days of startups, entrepreneurs and networking. Garageio was selected as one of the few startups to exhibit and we would love to see you at our booth! Come stop by and have a chat with one of the co-founders: Zak, Jess, Greg, or myself who will be in attendance. You can try out using your voice to control Garageio with the Amazon Echo and see why Amazon chose us to be one of the first seven recipients of the Alexa Fund.

Come check out how Garageio can turn your garage into a smart garage and how we plan on revolutionizing the way you receive your packages and groceries within your home. You’ll get to try out opening and closing a garage door with just a simple swipe and see all the other smart home and IoT devices that Garageio works with.

If you’re attending Collision Conf this year, stop by our booth at C-311 in the Sports/Builders/Machine Exhibition Area on day three. If getting to meet the Garageio team and using your voice to open a garage isn’t enticing enough, we’re giving away some really cool FREE stuff! We’ll be holding a drawing and giving away a free Garageio and Amazon Echo as well as giving away some pretty sweet swag! Hope to see you there!

Garageio Exhibits at Collision Conf

Posted on by Zak Dziczkowski

Garageio is super excited to announce that we have been selected to exhibit at Collision Conf in New Orleans, April 26-28!

Collision

Collision, also known as “The anti-CES”, focuses on startups and the people behind all of the amazing technology and companies that are attending. While many of the big names are going to be there (Tumblr, IFTTT, Slack, and many more), Collision gives smaller and younger startups the opportunity to showcase our ideas to investors and the media as well as interact with hundreds of interesting entrepreneurs like ourselves.

We’ve got our very own booth! While we’re down there, we’ll be sharing our experiences on all of our social media channels so make sure to follow us on twitter, instagram, and facebook to see what we’re up to while we’re in New Orleans!

Garageio Launch Party

Posted on by Zak Dziczkowski

This past Saturday, we set aside our computers and soldering irons to celebrate a milestone in Garageio’s history, its launch. It has only been a year since we started but so much has happened. Over the past 12 months, we developed, designed, coded, tested, tweaked, sketched, ordered, assembled, discussed, wrote, argued and agreed our way to what we have today.

Friends and family enjoyed themselves as we reminisced about our journey. I speak for the entire team when I say, thank you all for celebrating this milestone with us!
