Is Jumio Hot?

The answer is Yes.

But wait! Before you call us arrogant, aloof and self assured, give us a second to explain why Jumio is a hot start-up. Naturally, our own expectations are high, and the hard work the developers are putting in at the moment seems to be a strong indicator that we are indeed working on something that will put Jumio spot on the map of the payment world.

But it is not our own high expectations that lead us to boastful statements. Recently, Jumio got some really good press we’d love to share with you. Starting off is former FT journalist Tom Foremski with a Silicon Valley Watcher interview with Daniel. To quote Tom:

“I met with Mr Mattes earlier this the year and I was impressed by what I heard — if he can deliver on his presentation then this will become one of the hottest startups of 2011.”

Find the thouroughly readable interview in its entirety here.

This was followed by a piece on Jumio, published by none other than TechCrunch on no other night than Christmas Eve. The lead of the story is, what else could it be, the Jumio version of silent night we posted last week. The text remains on a sersious note, however, and also quotes Foremski’s interview. See the TechCrunch article here.

Thanks for that, and here’s to a great 2011!
