Meet HeyStaks at Web Summit 2015

We’ll be attending the Web Summit this week in Dublin’s RDS. At this stage we could be considered Summit veterans, having attended every event so far (If you haven’t done so already, make sure to capitalise on our experience by downloading our Free Guide to the Web Summit).

What we like most about the Web Summit is the wide array of companies from different sectors it attracts, which creates a real melting pot of innovative ideas coming together.

If you’ll be attending the Web Summit and would like to chat about behavioural analytics, mobile advertising, user personalisation, or anything else data related, we’d be delighted to meet you.

You can contact us here to arrange a meeting.

Dan Brown, Author. Speaker at Web Summit 2015
Dan Brown – Author

The mysterious head of a startup rainmaker event, The Web Summit, has started plans to move operations elsewhere, possibly under duress from an ancient order of monks whose power reaches far and wide. Founders have begun to be picked off one by one in grisly circumstances by a hulking monster known only as the Cash Crunch that appears out of nowhere. Can Dan Brown’s talk shed any light on this chilling situation? Probably not but you can bet he’ll have some interesting stuff to say.

Dublin Web Summit 2013 Review – The Best Talks – Part II

by on

In this, the second part of our roundup of the best of this year’s Dublin Web Summit, we have picked another selection of thought leaders, deal-makers, industry-creators and super-geeks whose talks we found particularly interesting. Like the Rolling Stone top 500 Albums ever, we’re sure we missed some and our choice will no doubt differ from yours, so please paste the links to the video you thought was best in the comments!

The main stage was packed to the rafters, so a large crowd gathered around the Pitch Stage to watch Enda Kenny trying to get Elon Musk to locate Tesla manufacturing in Ireland.

Dublin Web Summit 2013 Review – The Best Talks – Part I

by on

This year’s Dublin Web Summit was bigger than ever, growing more than double last year’s size to a staggering 10,000 attendees. Paddy and team continued their awe-inspiring rush to the top of the pile of tech events. It’s still run like the startups the the event is all about – sometimes rough & ready, “good enough” at most things and doing one thing really, really well – bringing together anyone who’s anyone in the tech world in a flurry of great talks, fantastic networking and all kinds of amazing.

HAPI days: HeyStaks API helps developers to make their own social search applications

by on

We were delighted to launch our developer programme at the Dublin Web Summit last week and also to announce the small matter of €800K in venture funding that we raised earlier this year. We raised the funding to help us build out the platform and infrastructure for the HeyStaks API (which we’re affectionately calling HAPI!) and to support our initial customer engagements.

HAPI can be used to make any search environment social. Driving higher conversions on eCommerce sites through personalized listings, creating superior context-aware mobile search experiences, reducing search effort and duplicated efforts for educators, students and enterprises. All can now be achieved without without having to invest in new search infrastructure.

It’s a very exciting time for us as a team, and we can’t wait to see what wonderful uses people make of our platform. The full text of last week’s press release is below, so enjoy and get building!
