George Berkowski, author of How to Build a Billion Dollar App, is possibly the best person to write a book with that title having built several successful mobile apps in his career. A TEDx speaker with experience in artificial intelligence and technology that most would benefit to hear about, George is now available to speak at a range of corporate events.
After completing his MBA in 2003, George started to explore the world of app development. He became the Founder of WooMe.com in 2007, an app people could use to speed date other people that employed video and audio elements rather than text, so that users could find like-minded potential partners in a short time. WooMe.com earned revenues worth $1 billion which equated to 300% growth rate within just one year. It was acquired by Zoosk in 2011.
In 2008 George joined the MIT Enterprise Forum of Cambridge as a board member and advised high-tech companies through their issues and after WooMe.com he began consulting and mentoring tech startups around the world. Joining Hailo, a taxi-hailing app, as Head of Product in 2011, George led the company to great heights within just two years. So much so, that the VP of Hailo Jack McCambridge credits he success of the app to George’s work, lauding George’s discipline and ability to keep the team on track.
George is also the Co-Founder and developer of DeepAR.in - a deep learning AI software development kit, that gives any app and website access to have filters, masks, and special effects, like those on Snapchat. DeepAR.ai works with clients like Ray-Ban and Absolut Vodka. His knowledge in AI in conjunction with his experience in building apps make George Berkowski an excellent choice to speak at your event.
