Time Razor, a Leesburg VA based startup just recently took their project out of stealth mode. The company is venture backed and puts a new spin on events, and time management. TimeRazor was founded by Barry White (no relation to the R&B singer), who has a mixed background mostly in real estate development. However in the hustle bustle world of the DC suburbs we’re sure a developer knows a thing or two about time management.
What TimeRazor ultimately does is cut out the noise from other similar event recommendation apps. Through their proprietary software and algorithms TimeRazor combs through over 300,000 events a day and serves up suggestions and updates for events that the user would actually like to attend. They call this technology the “distillery”.
More after the break
TimeRazor debuted at the beginning of the month and they didn’t cut any corners, serving up both an Android app and an iPhone app at the exact same time. The TimeRazor platform hopes to make sense of all the events in the world by breaking the app down into three central parts, as inthecapital’s Carl Pierre reports:
- smartEVENT – Shows any user what’s happening around them (geo-location) at any given time during their day, allowing the user to look at events happening today, or even two weeks out
- travelTIME – This is a pretty sick part of their service that uses real-time traffic conditions and sends alerts as to when you should leave to make it to your appointment on time
- easySHARE – Users can share anything they’ve discovered via email, SMS, Facebook, or Twitter, adding that necessary social element to your event planning
If the TimeRazor app is half as good as they say it is it will definitely join my arsenal of apps I use while traveling (which is nearly 300 days a year). I love being able to find as many like minded events as possible in every city. When I’m looking for a tech event I don’t necessarily want to know about a scrap-booking class or fishing expedition. TimeRazor promises to deliver the events that the user wants to attend.
Also, as with any good app released in 2012, they do have a “daily deal” type feature as well for “exclusive” experiences and limited quantity promotions. TimeRazor has already secured partnerships with big named companies like L’Oreal, Chrysler, Dodge, and many others.
