<li><b>1.  </b><b>Hammad Mazhar Saleem, Founder and CEO from Faalsa Labs</b></li>
</ol>
<p><i> </i></p>
<p><i>“We let users organize &amp; enjoy Online Shopping Trips anytime, anywhere with anyone!”</i></p>
<p><b>Bio:</b></p>
<p>Stanford trained engineer (EE/CS &#8217;02), with technical and leadership experience at startups as well as industry leading large corporation. Before starting work on WannaGet, I was working at Apple as a lead engineer for SyncServices and iCloud in the OSX group. Earlier, I was the first engineering hire at Sharpcast (now SugarSync), where I helped build the first push synchronization platform for arbitrary consumer data. The products built on that platform launched to rave reviews by Walt Mossberg and other leading technology reviewers.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Product Name: WannaGet</b></p>
<p>WannaGet is designed to blend the best of offline and online shopping in a delightful experience.</p>
<p>It all starts with the observation that In the offline world its very rare to see a person going to the shopping mall alone, in contrast online shopping today can be a very lonely experience.</p>
<p>People try to break this pattern with various hacks such as emailing links back and forth or sharing links over various semi-public platforms. But these methods are inefficient and problematic.</p>
<p>WannaGet starts with the observation that people love going to the Mall as groups of friends or family, but extends that to incorporate online shopping as well  by introducing the concept of an Online Shopping Trip. A user creates a Trip with a certain goal and invites some friends and family to join it. Beyond that WannaGet provides a delightful interface to conduct and enjoy these virtual trips and accomplish real shopping.</p>
<p>Whats great is the realization that the Online Shopping Trips are big leap forward in the shopping experience even if users intend to keep the trip completely private.</p>
<p>We envision a world where all shopping is done this way! And we intend to lead the way in making this transition happen.</p>

<p><strong>Blake Krikorian</strong></p>
<p>Blake Krikorian is a co-founder and the former CEO of Sling Media, a consumer electronics company that builds the highly acclaimed Slingbox.</p>
<p>The company was founded in 2004. It was purchased in 2007 by Echostar Communications for $380 million dollars.</p>
<p>Krikorian started his career at General Magic, which created the Magic Cap operating system for mobile intelligent communicators and Telescript, an agent-based network programming language for the emerging electronic marketplace (pre-Internet). At General Magic, Krikorian assisted industry-leading telecom and consumer electronics companies such as NTT, Sony, Mitsubishi Electric, Sanyo, OKI and Matsushita/Panasonic in creating and defining new products and partnerships.</p>
<p>In 1994, Krikorian co-founded the Philips Mobile Computing Group, which was funded by Philips Electronics. As group product manager, he built and co-led the team that defined, created, delivered, and marketed the award-winning Velo 1 Windows CE Handheld PC and its associated product line.</p>

<p><strong>Mark Mangiola</strong></p>
<p><strong>Venture Partner, Canaan Partners Ventures</strong></p>
<p>Mark Mangiola joined Canaan in 2001 after over 20 years in operational leadership roles in the cable and broadband industry. Mark invests in communications companies that are transforming the delivery of digital media, as well as new consumer content companies that meld entertainment with interactivity. An advisor to YouTube, Mark has a visionary outlook about how consumers will watch and interact with content in the future, having participated first hand in the early emergence of both cable TV and the Internet.</p>
<p>A super-connected industry veteran, Mark leverages his network to fill key executive positions at Canaan’s portfolio companies and helps them spearhead strategic relationships with industry-leading corporations. Prior to Canaan, Mark served as CEO of @Home Solutions, a division of Excite@Home. He was previously the President and CEO of Positive Communications and an Executive VP at KBLCOM/Time Warner.</p>
<p>When Mark is not thinking about how consumer-generated video will change the world, he is sprinting around a track. A passionate athlete, Mark coaches high-school and college track athletes and never misses a Meet of Champions track meet.</p>
<p><strong>Frank Chen, Andreessen Horowitz</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/7/d/c/0/event_109832192.jpeg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Frank is a partner at Andreessen Horowitz where he meets with entrepreneurs to evaluate investment opportunities, has a deep diligence on all post-term sheet investment opportunities (including declined opportunities), sources candidates for the talent network, and more.</p>
<p>Prior to Andreessen Horowitz, Frank was VP of products at Opsware (formerly Loudcloud) where he helped build and sell enterprise software. Prior to that, he was director of client services at Loudcloud where he ran data center operations for name-brand customers including Fox Sports, Nike, Fandango, and Blockbuster.<br />
He also served as VP of products &amp; UI design at Respond.com, served as director of product management at Netscape and was a product manager at Oracle where he worked on interactive television. Earlier in his career, Frank was also a technical writer for GO Corporation.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.svandroid.org/events/51143042/">Google TV Hackathon</a>, hosted by SVAndroid, sponsored by Google, invited Android and Web developers to take this great chance to<strong> build a great Google TV App (Can be web!) to win</strong> Google IO 2012 ticket, and met with few great judges to review your app <img src="http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif?m=1336659725g" alt=":)" /> Big thanks to our sponsor Google TV team!</p>
<p><strong>Event Updates</strong></p>
<p>A <strong>limited</strong> number of tickets to Google I/O will be made available to some winners (Not all winners can win this). Google TV team will confirm the numbers later.</p>
<p>Coordination with a linked event in London should add some “virtual flair” to both venues. Facility space will be limited, and a sell-out seems likly. You <strong>must</strong> register to attend. I am sure it will worth your effort for the 2 days and one night! <strong>I told yah!! </strong></p>
<p>We also plan to make this event a global event using YT Live Streaming and Hangouts, and invite other GTUGs and ADGs to organize event at same time.<br />
