Why we are doing this?

We all mind waiting!

This was the simple idea, that brought six of us together, who shared
the pain enough to act on it. Then we hacked together a modern day
solution for queue management based on
smartphones. Thinking of ourselves as our own customers.

As many of you know, Qminder continued on with great speed and support.
Our problem and solution was recognized by Europe’s leading micro-seed investment fund and mentoring program, Seedcamp. Which
invested in us, in less than 100 days from inception
at the Garage48 hackathon.

Next week is the flagship event of Seedcamp "Seedcamp Week"'s
program and a great time for us to take a step back and remind ourselves
and everybody else why we are
doing this?

As Seedcamp is more than just a “program” and often mentioned as a
family, we got help from another Seedcamp company called Teleportd. They
helped us find and use real-time relevant crowd-sourced photos from the
smartphone generation, to easily visualize why we are doing this.

Take a look at some of the latest photos shared on Twitter, Instagram
and other platforms. You can see that waiting in line is a big problem
and feel the cries for help.

Furthermore, as Apple hasn’t yet signed up for Qminder to manage the
iPhone 5 queues, we suggest you take a look at our other friends from
Seedcamp, who are in the business of getting anything done by trusted,
friendly people nearby – Milkly. They have kindly offered to wait in
line for you.

Stay tuned for updates during Seedcamp Week by Following us on Twitter or on
Facebook - its going to be a blast!

And of course, if you know or own a venue that has a waiting line,
Sign-Up and start using Qminder
today.

We all mind waiting!
