INCEPTION
After we established Istaleo, we started with exploring and analyzing the people’s needs and problems around the world. We traveled over 20 cities around the world to the east to the west from Tokyo to San Francisco, London to New York City, Paris to Los Angeles, Seoul to Washington DC, Geneva to Frankfurt.
We met talented and visionary people, attended fairs and conferences.
Our primary focus was always on the innovative technology field. Especially in mobile and social technologies. We were very aware of the influence of the mobile technology in people’s life. The combination of the smart mobile devices and the innovative social softwares had been starting to take an important role in people’s daily lives and for sure, it’ll increase its importance in the upcoming future.
