G+_Steve Adams Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Who are the competitors in the 'dog fight'? How do I/we decide you deserve the vote more than them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Greg Lee Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 The others have nothing to do with our sport. Things like note taking of your meds. Nice things but Zero to do with motocross or other off road activities. Jonathan and his race buddy Nick Vandermade have been riding and racing since kindergarden. Great young. Thanks for asking.

G+_Steve Adams Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Ok - but you realise I/we can't possibly judge who to vote for based on only that (can I?) I'm not saying you are not worth a vote... however if your product is great and you are neck and neck in a "dogfight" with another product then theirs must also be pretty good too (right?). Or are you just wanting people to vote blindly without doing any real thought/comparison? If so I think that devalues the vote/prize and it's not worthy of this audience to ask for a blind vote.

G+_Greg Lee Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Check out the other companies. If you ride off road, mountain bike, sail, ski... We think we are your company. Jonathan the CEO of Hotlap.co has received entrepreneur of the month from 2 separate business groups in Nevada. Last time we pointed out the differences between us and a competitor we got our email and Facebook filled for weeks with obscenities and remarks about my sons future children. The comparison was nothing bad but when $100,000 is on the line people do strange and unexpected things. Thanks for your interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jack Cola Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Great App, but what key features does hotlap have that isn't possible with RunKeeper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Greg Lee Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I do not know all of the features of runkeeper (I'm the Dad). The internal hotlap.co alpha allows one to compare speeds with others at different locations. For example your friend always betters your time on a route, where on the run do you lose time and where do you gain time. You might find that your just as fast up hill but on down hills the friend is faster. So if hotlap.co wins this competition the grant will allow them to come from an internal beta to a release product in about 4 months. Hotlap also has an alpha test of a new HD GPS. In testing the accuracy looks to be about 3 feet at 5 data points per second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
