Event Details

Mobile Monday Manila is back in June for Startup Stories!  This June 13 we'll be holding our meeting at the German Club.  We'll have speakers from Chikka and Numlock Solutions to give us an idea on what makes and breaks a mobile startup.

From Chikka we have its enigmatic CEO, Chito Bustamante.  The inspired name "Chikka", slang for small talk, first rolled out of Chito’s mouth while watching Philippine TV in San Francisco. He was one of those Silicon Valley Engineers frequently mentioned in any history of Chikka, and he gave validation to the venture’s business and technical viability when it was but a gleam in the eyes of other Chikka founders.  On a visit to Manila in early 2000, Chito was given room at Dennis Mendiola’s apartment where, he performed a study of secretly tilting picture frames and watching Dennis straighten them back, daily. While Chito supervised the "code rush" that characterized the development of Chikka (2000-2001) he officially came on board only in mid-2002, serving as the company’s Chief Operating Officer (COO) until 2008. He is credited for establishing processes that ultimately enabled the company to sustain the frenetic pace of product development and the timely delivery of services to a growing community and international clientele. During his term as COO, Chikka picked up triple ISO certifications and a rare CMMI maturity level 5 standing among technology companies, the highest in the industry. "To provide a method to the madness," he likes to say. Kindred spirit (with Chikka founder Dennis Mendiola) in product development, Chito would invent such products as free-reply SMS, now enjoyed by mobile users in markets as far away as Latin America.

From Numlock Solutions we have managing partner, Ramon Pastor.  Since he formed Numlock Solutions in 2008, the company has released four applications in Apple's App Store.  Ramon also happens to be a family man and an unabashed geek. He loves Xcode but flirts with Eclipse when he's in the mood. His iPad has the words "DON'T PANIC" inscribed in large, friendly letters on its cover.

Attendance is free as usual.  There will be free drinks (beer, softdrinks, water) and finger food.  If you would like something heavier, feel free to order from the German Club's menu at your own expense.

Pre-registration is now open so come on and sign in!  Get your friends to attend as well!

See you at the German Club!
