Santa Barbara startup to Unveil Simple Platform for Creating Mobile Data Apps

On Tuesday December 6th, local tech startup dataPreneur will host a free event to unveil technology it believes will help to change the way ordinary people use data in their daily lives. The free event is titled “How to Become a Datapreneur” and will be held from 6:30 to 8 p.m. in the Faulkner West Conference Room of the Santa Barbara Library, 40 E. Anapamu Street. RSVP is required (see below).

“The term ‘data’ has this kind of tech-geek aura about it,” says dataPreneur co-founder and CEO Blake Beltram, “We’re out to change that. Data actually becomes ‘cool’ once you care about the data, once you can navigate it, and once you can get it quickly and easily on your phone.”

It’s more than just startup talk. So far, dataPreneur has helped to create and deliver mobile data apps (it refers to them as datAPPs) for local commercial real estate, local high school and college sports, a local AYSO league, a local political campaign, college textbooks, and even a music session-tracking app for a non-profit.
