Last weekend, Denver-based GoSpotCheck scored another $25,000 during CSU's Blue Ocean Enterprises Challenge. GoSpotCheck’s B2B SaaS product, which won second place at the competition Saturday, also impressed AOL founder Steve Case last month at Google’s first Demo Day. Case personally invested $100,000.
Co-founded by Matt Talbot, Samantha Holloway and Joey Alfano, GoSpotCheck makes enterprise software to help collect, organize and react to field data using mobile and web applications. Since going through Techstars Boulder in 2011 and then officially launching last year, it has added customers such as Panera and Dannon to its roster. Now the dozen-person GoSpotCheck team works out of Galvanize.
GoSpotCheck entered the CSU Blue Ocean Enterprises Challenge in Fort Collins Saturday to pitch in front of over 25 of Colorado’s top entrepreneurial minds such as Nicole Glaros of Techstars, Brian Thomas of OtterBox and Alex Welch formerly of Photobucket. The event was the final stage of a business pitch competition, organized by Colorado State University and Blue Ocean Enterprises, that started last October. Throughout the Blue Ocean competition and the Google Demo Day process, GoSpotCheck has "just been out there trying to build our business,” Talbot said in April.
“We have an incredible relationship with Galvanize and great supporters. We’ve taken advantage of the melting pot here, and this central hub for the tech startup scene in Denver has given us great resources and exposure.”
