How engageSPARK Builds Software for Social Impact (#Startup032 D-Conference)
Details
engageSPARK (https://www.engageSPARK.com) is the leading engagement platform that enables NGOs and Businesses to interact with the 65% of people in developing countries that don't have regular access to the Internet.
By focusing especially on UX (our UX designer worked at Yahoo, Samsung, Motorola, British Telecom, TripIt, etc), they've built the easiest to use tool for non-techies to build Voice IVR and Two-way SMS campaigns in 5 minutes and launch in any country.
They have customers in countries around the world, including Philippines, China, Mongolia, Afghanistan, Papa New Guinea, India, Uganda, Kenya, Zambia, and the US.
They're a not-for-profit social enterprise building products that help change the world for the better. And they do it all from Cebu!

This is part of #Startup032 D-Conf, a distributed conference for the Cebu startup community.
A distributed conference is one where the gatherings are held in the offices of the speakers, across several days or weeks. It is like going on a safari rather than to a zoo. We get to see the alpha lions of the Cebu startup community in their natural habitat.
The topic of this year's #Startup032 D-Conf is Product Management:
• How they make product choices and feature prioritization (eg, how they do customer development)
• How they manage their software development (eg, actual usage of methodologies like Scrum, how they manage engineers and designers, building the right culture, the biggest challenges they faced, etc)
Here are some notes from the D-Conf in Clicklabs Ventures (https://medium.com/@kcorazo/x-things-i-learned-from-startup032-field-trips-5b6e0c7c7a96), to give you an idea what to expect.
