If the launch of Directory.gy last month was not exciting enough, local IT solutions company Intellect Storm (IS) is now one of five winners of the PitchIT Caribbean Challenge, which wrapped up on yesterday in Montego Bay, Jamaica.
A regional initiative, the PitchIT Caribbean Challenge was executed by the World Bank to promote the development of mobile applications-based entrepreneurship.
And it was with the submission of Directory.gy, Guyana’s lone mobile application, that the company triumphed over 20 other regional mobile applications for one of the five coveted spots that would secure start-up tech companies US$5,000 in seed funding among other prizes.
