Episode 5 of The StartUp Show

Did you see that latest challenge we faced in episode 5 of the StartUp show? Phew! That was a tough one. But Mailbird managed to still make it to the top 4 in the sales challenge.

Below, you can see Andrea pitching to five sales prospects who are all Windows users. Some are students, others are from corporate offices. See how we do by clicking the image below to watch the sales challenge in episode 5 now. Stay tuned next week for episode 6….leading to the exciting yet intense final challenge that you won’t want to miss.

Crowdfunding

2 days left and $2,444 more to go!

*We are SO close, and really hoping to exceed the $10k goal so the rest of the funds can be donated to the International Diabetes Federation.

Our team is crunching away in preparation for the 2.0 launch. In honor of the IDF, each team member helps Andrea, Mailbird’s CEO, manage her Diabetes by engaging, asking questions and even guessing her blood glucose levels. The aim is to keep it between 80 – 120.

Let’s reach this goal – and help all Diabetics better manage their disease.

This is the cherry on top of the icing, for the Mailbird 2.0 Launch. The next few days will be very exciting until the BIG announcement.

Until then, the Mailbird team wishes you fantastic week!
