TC50 Demopit Winner CrowdZone Launches Mobile Social Network For Sports Fans
Summary
At last fall’s TechCrunch50 event, Chyngle was voted by the crowd as best demopit startup for its branded mobile marketing apps for sports stadiums. Now Chyngle has partnered with mobiTeris to rebrand and reinvent its application as CrowdZone, a free iPhone app that acts as a mobile social network for crowds at sporting events. And as you participate in the application, you earn activity points and badges, with the aim of achieving the “Crowd MVP” status at an event. Chyngle and CrowdZone’s co-founder Todd Sullivan says that revenue hasn’t been turned on yet, but the startup is looking to monetize the app in a variety of ways. CrowdZone’s real-time analytics, generated from crowd behavioral and location data could provide teams with valuable insight.
