Subject: the gotham prague connection
thank-you very much for the invitation and warm welcome. i will wear my honourary gotham networking club member pin with pride to my meeting at bloomberg tomorrow. i would invite your members to stop into the kines helipad offices in the center of prague for a coffee when they are in town
some of the members were not clear about what i was interested in so i will try and keep it short and simple: i am in the US for one week and will return again in july to sell a technology company called newstin.com. we have received some expressions of interest from google, CNN and bloomberg as well as the intelligence community but we want to socialise it with a wider audience of media companies that have a significant web presence. any introductions to these kinds of companies at the level of their corporate development/strategy/m&a would help
i have attached detailed info in the teaser but in short newstin displays all the news from the web based on your topic selection, including translations of all foreign language sources - it is the only one of its kind to do so currently. in the right hands it can be an extremely powerful tool in building communities and ideally we would like to see it being offered for free on an advertising-supported model
after all these travels i will need to spend some time reconnecting with my family and will have to rent for the third time your key west house...
the list of potential bidders include:
google
microsoft
yahoo
ebay
newscorp/foxinteractive
timewarner/AOL/CNN
thomson
lexis/nexis
reuters
bloomberg
dow jones
in-q-tel (homeland security's commercial arm)
CBS
ABC
NBC
pearson
dun and bradsheet

www.kines.com is a telecom/media/technology boutique law firm serving central and eastern europe and based in prague. it has been consistently rated number one in all major directories. stephen kines is rated one of the top 25 TMT lawyers in the world by euromoney. its major clients include microsoft (in 19 CEE jurisidctions), disney, vodafone, t-mobile
i will be in new york tomorrow with the founder of newstin.com, the only cross-language news engine in the world that has a similar functionality as google news but is able to deliver in the user's native tongue the news from the entire web from whatever language thus having huge potential to build up truly global communities. we will be in new york and california over the course of this week and next to meet with potential bidders and would welcome anyone who would be able to put us in front of the decision makers in the corp dev/m&a departments of the major news publishers that have some kind of interactive presence (newscorp, CBS, ABC, NBC, timewarner/CNN, bloomberg, lexis/nexis, dow jones, etc.)
thanks fred
