All of the scholarship winners are software-as-a-service (SaaS) companies, but each focuses on a different aspect of business. Intern Avenue is a hire-matching platform which helps employers to find and differentiate quickly between candidates, while Mochadocs makes it easy for businesses of all sizes to manage and fulfill contracts. Finally, Weekdone helps managers and teams track their productivity to identify strengths as well as areas for improvement. Each company is taking a creative approach to meeting a defined business need and stands to benefit greatly from the Business of Software Conference.
"We're delighted to welcome the Avangate scholarship recipients to the Business of Software Conference in Boston next week. They have selected interesting, innovative companies, but more importantly three interesting entrepreneurs who share so many of the values with our attendees from around the world." said Mark Littlewood, Director of the Business Leaders Network and Business of Software. "The scholars are always enthusiastic participants and have so much to offer back from their own entrepreneurial experience. We know scholarship recipients make valuable connections and create a solid foundation for growth. I am personally delighted that the scholars represent the geographical diversity of BoS attendees coming from the UK, Netherlands and Estonia."
In addition to presenting scholarship recipients with the opportunity to attend the well-known Boston conference, Avangate will organize a networking dinner to connect the new companies with leading experts in the software industry.
