CyberPress awards Inovent as Startup of the Year for 2009
Woot!! Woot!! 
The IT Journalists Association of the Philippines (a.k.a. CyberPress) awarded Inovent as IT Startup of the Year for 2009. The other nominees in the category were Sulit.com.ph as well as ANTS.
Unfortunately, Brian Quebengco was in the US so he couldn’t join myself and our partner Henry Nguyen for the awarding.
Aside from the startup of the year, there were other awards given out :
* News Story of the Year went to Smartmatic-TIM undertaking the computerization of the 2010 Elections
* IT Product of the Year was given to Windows 7.
* IT Executive of the Year went to Ricky Banaag, Country Head of Intel Philippines.
* Company of the Year went to Acer
* A special lifetime award was also given to Bill Torres who started the Internet Service Provider Mozcom and is fondly referred to as ‘the Father of the Philippine Internet’.
It was definitely an awesome honor for Inovent, especially given the fact that we truly are a startup — composed of a ragtag team of youthful and vibrant designers, engineers, and believers who didn’t even have an office when we were starting. Because of these humble beginnings, the Beta prototype of the Ilumina was actually built in the condo unit of our student-engineer! :p
Here’s looking to 2010 and beyond as we see how the succeeding chapters of our startup story evolves …
