When Mike Edwards returned to Vancouver in the fall of 2010, the first event he attended was Bootup Labs Demo Day. Summify, which creates a summary of your social news feeds and delivers it to you via a daily digest, was one of the companies pitching at the event that day. Impressed by founders Cristian Strat and Mircea Pasoi, who came all the way from Romania to build their startup, and their traction coming out of the Bootup Labs program, Mike decided to invest on the spot. It was the very first cheque Mike wrote for Initio and kicked off a year of massive action including over 40 investments in the fund.
Today, Summify announced they will be joining the flock at Twitter and we couldn’t be happier for the team. We think this is a great partnership that will help them achieve their long term vision.
Good luck boys!
