AboutOne will launch the beta version of its new online organizer and its exclusive companion Family Organizer app for Windows Phone at the Summit
PHILADELPHIA, April 20, 2012 – Philadelphia-based AboutOne (http://www.AboutOne.com), a Microsoft BizSpark featured startup, today announced that founder and CEO Joanne Lang will speak tomorrow at Philadelphia's inaugural Women in Tech Summit (http://www.phillywomenintech.com/), a gathering of women from the technology industry to inspire, share, learn, and connect with one another. The April 21, 2012 event includes a diverse schedule of panels, presentations, and workshops led by some of the Philadelphia area's most engaging women in tech (http://www.phillywomenintech.com/speakers).
At the event, Lang will announce the launch of the beta version of AboutOne's new online organizer and the exclusive companion Family Organizer app for Windows Phone. This latest version of AboutOne's online organizer incorporates a year's worth of customer feedback. According to Lang, "AboutOne turns Windows Phone into a remote control for everyday tasks by adding online filing and reporting to customers' existing calendar and contact tools to provide fast, easy access to family memories and household paperwork. AboutOne automatically combines and formats this information so it's instantly useful – anytime, anywhere."
"As a Philadelphia entrepreneur, I'm particularly excited about the opportunity to launch the new version of AboutOne at a Philadelphia event that celebrates women as technology innovators," says Lang. "It's a wonderful fit for us since we received funding from Philadelphia-based investment groups Ben Franklin Technology Partners and Mid-Atlantic Angel Group, as well as Golden Seeds, a network of angel investors dedicated to investing in early stage companies founded and led by women."
Majority women-owned and managed AboutOne received over $1.8 million in funding in its oversubscribed Series A financing round led by Golden Seeds.
