Sponto

Sponto, a mobile location-based social networking platform, helps college students publish and detect parties and other events in real time. The job it does: solving a specific business problem with software.

The natural audience is teams in its space. They also list Events, Mobile and Social, so expect those to show up in the feature set. As a very small product team themselves (1 to 10 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

Sponto is based in Washington, District of Columbia and founded in 2009. You can read more at sponto.com.

Before you commit, look at pricing, support, and how it fits with the tools you already use. Ask for a trial on your own data, not a canned demo.

If you have worked with Sponto, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
