What do you think? …

It's definitely a super crowded and hard space, however this team is solid and have shown a lot of spirit (working on it for years) now. I believe they just closed some funding with some prominent angels (Soundcloud CEO included) - so I think they're on the right track. Go team Vamos!

Thanks @jamesepember for your support!

We were meant to launch tomorrow, but since it leaked out on Product Hunt today everyone who sees this will be the first: Here's the iOS app that we've rebuilt from the ground up: https://itunes.apple.com/app/vam... Here's the web platform that scales and works across any device or platform http://getvamos.com

I've followed Vamos since it's inception, and this latest design is a huge leap for the product. In the world of events, still either dominated by big wigs, or restricted by curation, Vamos is a beacon of light. Excited to see this improvement.

Thanks! @carlmartin I'm glad you like the new Vamos. Cheers from Berlin
Didrik Persson
The new design is really nice! Good job guys, from a fellow Hyper. :)

@LuisDaniel_A is super well known in the European (especially Berlin) startup scene and vamos has been around for quite some time. I am super excited to see the new version :)

@nikitakorotaev we actually released a completely new web platform too, and an Android-app is just a couple of weeks away. On top of FB and Eventbrite, Vamos also pulls in events from Ticketmaster, Eventim and StubHub and we're adding more sources every month making us one of the most complete catalogues of events in the world with over half a million events monthly in our backend. What makes Vamos special today and moving forward is our event recommendation engine that finds the user a personalised list based on their location, profile, where friends are going and venues with previous "joins" on FB.

@yanroux YPlan does manual curation of cities (only London, Las Vegas, San Fran & NY). We have automated the curation completely and in this way we can cover all the big cities in the world. The event recommendation algoritm is something we're perfecting every day and as it's getting better and better it is also the one thing that makes us different against everyone else in combination with a complete catalogue of events worldwide. Download the app and sign in with Facebook to get a personalised event list from your city: https://itunes.apple.com/app/vam...

@prentell right, got it. Implications for monetisation?
Mike Bestvina
@prentell Right but why is it different for the user? Getting the database of events is fairly trivial (pull from Eventbrite, Ticketmaster, etc) but getting the data that makes an event compelling (who's going, what to expect, etc) is not. What additional value are you adding that those sites are not (other than a single source of info)?
