It would be best for the guys there to get my feedback first and discuss it.
It was a great experience, don't get me wrong, I learned a ton! Its all very exciting, like it would be pitching to any VC.
We have a much better idea of where we are and what we need.
I'll post something up after chatting to them ;)

Hi Colin,
It went well, we had some good debates.
Although going through this process personally, there seems to be a very big disconnect between what Umbono advertises themselves to be, a "Incubator" and what actually goes down

#Go2Doc's. , an app that uses tablets and Smart phones to sign a form instead of printing then signing and wasting paper. The app is verified by a signature and a picture using the front facing camera of the tablet ? Anyone interested can contact me via SiliconCape , Twitter @Smokeyemp .

At last: Google announces Umbono winners bit.ly/vH24xR #memeburn
And no... if you don't know about it you're not one of them! ;-)
I've been following a couple of these teams since the process started and they seem to be world class. Best of luck to @SampleBoard, @TaxTim, @StarburstGames and @LocalSort.

Google Umbono has secured premises to accommodate those who qualify and now has hired a new coordinator for this project, which is indicative of a building momentum, I guess.
Has anyone here made it through to round 3 and has then perhaps been given the green light, so to speak?
I have not participated myself and proposed no startup; I am just curious as to the progress of this initiative.
