"The CTIA StartUp Lab has been a tremendous opportunity for us, and we're honored to receive these awards," said Darren Lu, Vodi founder and CEO. "We're excited by this recognition and look forward to a bright future."
The Vodi team fielded questions, demoed the app and networked with major players in the wireless space throughout the three-day conference. Lu made a three-minute pitch to the panel of judges and an assembled crowd during the PitchFest portion of the program on September 7, and the winners were announced on September 8.
Vodi, which sports an array of global financial and telecom services that complement its messaging app core, impressed booth visitors and panelists alike. Its unique B2B model also piqued the interest of attendees, as the opportunity for monetization that Vodi presents to its partners is not offered by other messaging apps.
Industry trade group CTIA (originally the Cellular Telephone Industries Association) is the leading governmental advocate for the wireless industry. The organization supports voluntary best practices and initiatives and hosts Super Mobility, the largest conference of its kind, each year.
This year's CTIA StartUp Lab was made possible by the CTIA Innovation Council, advisors, sponsorships from iconectiv and Kelly Drye & Warren LLP and in-kind support from f6s.com.
