AdultVest's iPorn start-up makes a splash at Apple's World Wide Developers Conference in San Francisco
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., June 15, 2009 — On June 8, as thousands of people lined up around the Moscone West building in San Francisco waiting to enter on the opening day of Apple's World Wide Developer's Conference, five Bikini-clad iPorn girls paraded in and out of a horse-drawn carriage throwing mini footballs and t-shirts promoting the launch of the iPorn mobile web application for the iPhone. The non-tech promotion was a hit with the tech-centric crowd consisting primarily of male developers who were waiting to hear Apple's keynote address and the announcement of the newest version of its popular iPhone, dubbed 3GS.
The captive audience, who waited over 2 hours on a chilly Monday morning before they could gain admittance to the venue, gave a very warm welcome to the iPorn Girls, taking pictures and posting them across the Internet. The launch caught the attention of the major media and Internet outlets covering the event and soon the iPorn story began to spread across America and beyond. Registration on the iPorn mobile site has surpassed 36,000 members and is growing daily while its broadband website is drawing hundreds of thousands of unique visits a day and its Alexa ranking is rapidly increasing. Alexa.com tracks and ranks millions of websites based on popularity.
The mobile iPorn site is meeting with rave reviews. One site proclaimed that iPorn "is the best reason to upgrade to an iPhone 3GS;" while another stated that iPorn's video "resolution and overall quality seemed superior on the iPhone than on the bigger monitor." iPorn mobile is the first adult web app developed using Apple specifications to take advantage of iPhone's unique multi-touch and accelerometer motion sensing display innovations and benefits from the faster processor announced for the new iPhone 3GS. iPorn also provides its adult users with social networking capabilities similar to those found in YouTube, MySpace and Facebook. Versions for the Blackberry, Palm Pre and Android phones are expected to follow later this summer.
AdultVest was Institutional Investor Magazine's 2008 Hedge Fund Launch of the Year and iPorn was AdultVest's highest profile acquisition last year. "Taking on the challenge of a startup was a major risk. We dedicated a full year to getting the iPorn project off the ground. It appears our first startup venture is beginning to pay off," says AdultVest CEO Francis Koenig. "AdultVest investors who backed the iPorn venture should be very pleased with the results."
