After quite a lot of work behind the scenes over the last three years or so, two of my startup projects have recently launched.

TouchPass is an authentication-as-a-service system with a twist of location-y goodness; and SaveMail is a neat way for institutions to cut down on their mailing costs.

It’s been a very big couple of weeks because we managed to get 7th place (out of about 30 or so very compelling startups) at the recent SydStart pitching contest; TouchPass was recently approved for the App Store (after a rather tortured approval process); and following SaveMail’s soft-launch this week, the ActionMail boys @warwicksinclair and @Diamondkanka are currently demoing it at the Australian Mutuals 2012 Conference on the Gold Coast.

I’m really proud of both of these projects and can’t wait to see how they are received.
