Cellity With Some Savvy Names
We keep up with what Spreadshirt founder, Lukasz Gadowski, publishes on his Gruenderszene blog and so should those interested in the startup scene in his part of Germany.
He's been doing a series of video interviews, the latest of which is Cellity. We think it might be the beginning of something interesting, mainly because of where the people come from that are behind it, but also because of the size of the market it can tap.
Cellity aims to reduce mobilephone bills using a software-based least-cost router that has to be loaded onto the phone and then runs in the background.
It works best with Symbian phones but it can also run on Javaphones, according to the interview with CEO and co-founder Sarik Weber. That is him with the megaphone above. He was formerly an exec at social networking startup OpenBC and at eProfessional, which was recently acquired by online ad tech startup Zanox.
Besides Weber, there is Nils Weitemeyer (who sold his last venture Elkware to Infospace in 2004 ) and Cellity just recruited the head of German operations for Skype, Tim von Toerne (picture right).
The founders have funded an R&D team of 10 since founding in June of this year and expect to launch mid-month.
