Pulstate is “end-to-end contextual engagement platform for the physical world”.
A What!?

In the last 24 hours Ireland has risen (for public votes) from 39th place to 4th in the Global Start-up Competition, which we’re heading to next week in Korea. There are now only 5 hours left of voting. Would Broadsheet be able to help us get the word out and maybe move Ireland into first place?
I’ll be pitching Pulsate against 40 of the world’s best tech start-ups for a prize fund of US$100,000 at the international final of the World Startup Competition in Seoul, South Korea.
We hope to build on the growing momentum in the Irish start-up sector to send a message out to the world that Ireland is the land of opportunity for start-ups that want to take on the world!
Vote here
Voice over hegemony… In the future everyone will be Americany!
May as well change the name of the country to, Ireland Inc.
yeah support more marketing tools to invade peoples private lives, jesus, hold me back. get a real job son where you are not trying to rip off your fellow man.
^ this. I am in my F support this monumental marketing tech crap. How about the shop assistant communicates by voice to the customers, like you know, go over and say hello?
I’ll vote for yiz, if you never ever ever ever ever ever ever call Ireland ‘the land of opportunity’ again because the phrase is polluted with a US history of selfish-greed-first-and-f**k-you-small-guy… other than that, carry on, thanks :)
I don’t get it.
This app seems a little sinister.
Obviously, no more than your average smartphone and all the data harvesting that that does, but still pretty sinister.
Would it work in Amsterdam? Just a passing thought. Tell you everything about the ‘product’ in the window.
‘James has been to your store 11 times today’.
I said James…. not Owen.
Shut-up.
Also he’s a spammer!
The words ‘tech’, ‘start’ and ‘up’ now make me want to apply a shard of glass to my throat
There’s an app for that… soon
An aggressive QR code, brilliant.
Hiding in doorways, shop windows and bus shelters everywhere !

And this is where I stopped reading…
“Rich-Media Campaigns

I want to help this “start up” as much as I want to further childhood cancer.
Such ill informed claptrap – this is a new market with many players and one of the front runners is Irish – vote for him and support a real Irish company. How everything becomes negative in a situation like this represents everything wrong with Irish peoplpe – childhood cancer? Tosh
Well said.
So every country should support their own and ignore higher quality products and companies thus destroying the global marketplace.
This ‘start up’ has about as much intrinsic value as a paper condom.
I’m with you Don. If there’s no misery involved most people here opt out of engagement. Granted, that voice over was pretty f*cking miserable and whiny, however, the company seems to be doing something, which is a hell of a lot more than what a lot of others are doing.
Living abroad highlights just how much the Irish enjoy being miserable. The constant negativity back home really gets me down when I’m there.
No Don, it sounds like a horrible, horrible app. Just because it’s Irish makes it no more worthy of your mindless support.
To vote for a “product” that realistically is in an already saturated market with better providers would be stupid just because he is Irish. It’s a product that’s very intrusive in a world where privacy is becoming a comidty so why annoy people as they shop. This stinks of desperation. Oh and look at the guy, would you trust him with your data?
It lost me at “Please sign up to vote”
The moment I hear “push” in any marketing campaigning tech product I tend to look the other way. Who ever thought up the name for that type marketing was a tool in fairness, dumbest thing ever IMO… too pushy like
I voted for a competing entrant as a reaction to mindless canvassing in what should be a merit based vote.
Macrofencing is the new something.
Xfactor for Dot.com cvnts..
It’s a no from me..
I wanna ban that fupping term.
Check oush my storsh-up. It’s like an end-to-end plashform or some shish or other.
This is going well, Patrick, eh?
