The Autumn Hackathon is the first in a series of technology hack days, bringing together developers to pool their talents to create new ideas and applications. Judges […]

In a few weeks (26-27 September, to be precise), a fair chunk of the Kasabi team will be at the Semantic Technology and Business conference in Hotel Russell.

A start-up is defined by its team. The success, drive and ambition required to make a startup successful comes from the team and its shared vision of making a really great product. I’ve been working hard recently to find additional talented people to join Team Kasabi. Benjamin Nowack should be known to everyone who has […]

Well, we’ve taken yet another big step (though one we’ve been hinting at for a while). Following the Hackday last week, we’ve officially invited our first round of developers to join us in our Private Beta. If you haven’t got an invite, and would like to take part, make sure you’ve registered your interest on […]
Like any new service we’re planning to use existing social media services to share insights into what we’re working on. We have two twitter accounts that we’ll be using to share information from the site: @TeamKasabi — this will be our main twitter account, shared by the whole team. We’ll be using this for key […]
