This is very exciting for you guys! Enjoy the flow…
WOW! Great, great, great job!! Love Akoha and can’t wait to get my mission cards. Thanks for doing this.
It was absolutely amazing to see you launch such a spectacular product! I love the Facebook idea.
Hey Austin & Alex - great job in your TC presentation - the stream worked perfectly - thought the panel seemed to react well on the basis of their questions /comments. Cheers, D
Great job guys, congratulations!
Is there any way to go and watch it now? I was in a meeting for the day job during the demo
Hi Basil,
I’ve replaced the live feed with the recorded version.
Great job! I’ve been following you on Twitter and was wondering what Akoha is and what you guys are doing! This is amazing. Good for you!
Sweet presentation. And the judging panel was nice too!! We were all cheering for you at the Akoha offices.
I’m so glad Alex and Austin used “Leaving Microsoft to save the world” in their presentation. It’s a great book that’s changed my outlook on my career path (hence the bike ride from Vancouver to Mexico this summer for microcredit) and I was looking forward to fundraising for Room to Read. Now I just need to play Akoha and all my dreams will come true.
BRAVO, you guys!
Thanks for all of your amazing comments! We’re really happy that we can tell the world about Akoha. And we want your help spreading the word.

[...] It’s a basic Pay It Forward premise - do something nice for someone and have them do as well. It’s all that but with a Web 2.0 twist. You buy a deck of “mission cards” and then pick a card. Cards have you do kind things for someone, like buy a cup of coffee. As you do the kind deed, you hand your card off to that person so they can do the same. As the card gets passed, you log in to the Akoha site, enter a code and give geographic information. At that time you can view where the card has been and follow it forward to see where it goes. There is many more that you can see and view as evidenced by their presentation recently at TechCrunch 50. [...]
