#SUMHK Jan 16: The @BufferApp Story – How to raise money in the Valley and move your startup to Hong Kong

Img_58901

What happens when you have a successful start-up funded in Silicon Valley but then you can’t stay in the US? You move to Hong Kong, of course!

Buffer is a great web service that allows you to time your tweets and Facebook updates to when your readers will most likely interact with them – a freemium service that has really taken hold of social media enthusiastics around the world.

Buffer co-founder Joel Gascoigne (on the left in photo above and on Twitter @joelgascoigne) will be at Startup Monday to talk about moving from the UK to the Valley, raising money in 60 days, getting traction quickly, marketing a new web service and of course how he ended up in Hong Kong.
