The Insider - which town are you referring to? I have heard that Libersy is in Amsterdam and Michigan (Ann Arbor, someone said below?), and has someone in Texas.

Libersy has dropped the Solide-ICT company and moved its development to the US (outsourcing to a company in Ann Arbor MI). I've run into some of the folks around town a couple of times. It seems Libersy is much smaller than it tries to make itself appear (3 or 4 executives and 2 developers). One of the executives has a bad reputation around town of being all talk and untrustworthy.

I also know that the claimed success of the pilot is not true. Since the start, the number of participating services stayed the same - only 52. The lack of activities of these services shows that the booking system doesn't deliver what it promised. KPN has removed its name from anywhere in the pilot. A year ago, one could read "KPN" in every PDF and help page. Some research - calling to KPN and more specifically the person responsible for the alliance with Loeffen - told me they haven't heard from Libersy for months now. My opinion is that Karin Loeffen is the classical example of loads of talk, more calculations, and even more buzz... But the latter stays without Bizz. And that is what investors want to see - business and turnover ... profits. Shamrock Ventures is not participating at all - they woke up on time. At first, she outsourced the technical development. In stead of straight and honest communications, she presented the people of Solide-ICT in Maastricht as if they were at her payroll and in her management team. Now a days, she doesn't mention one of them. They charged (and received) over 75K for development, but took the wrong road. Choosing for Ruby, a young environment, which cannot be used for such a complex platform. Over time, she broke with them and removed all promotional links towards them. There is still an old website with outdate info http://www.justbookitsolutions.com showing how she wanted the world to see Libersy, f.k.a. Justbookit. Talking about Libersy - the logo is taken from Nokia Mobile. I've seen her travelling all over - showing up at nice shows, parties, seminars. Talking about a multi million markets, even multi billion markets. Only promises and spending the funding on her trips. Lets see how long it takes before this bubble bursts.

From inside-info I know she did not get the funding she claims. Angel funding: 120K from a group of 4 58K from family and friends Total 178K and not 400K Series-A: 100K Technofonds - 6,25% of Stocks Total Series-A funding: 100K 150K Loan - 8% interest 500K Loan - 8% interest Total Loan 650K I don't see the total funding coming anywhere near the claimed 1.2M

Perhaps you should consider integrating your mission with an app like RingCentral.
