Spotie provides users lodging options in various cities such as Dubrovnik and Split in Croatia, and Belgrade in Serbia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Spotie - Sitemap )〕 It is based in Dubrovnik, Croatia and was acquired by Typing Ltd in 2015. == History == Spotie was founded on 23 August 2011 by founders Mateo Perak, Ivan Burazin, Mislav Tomić, Marjan Žitnik and Nebojša Veron. All of them have entrepreneurial background. Perak is a founder at Booking IT, Burazin is a co-founder at Codeanywhere, Žitnik is a Webstart Contest winner.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Spotie, A Mobile LBS to Tell You Where the Cool Events Are )〕 Different from its current function, Spotie started out as a location-based social network for events which allows users to find out what's happening, when and where at the click of their mouse rather than having to search the internet to find relevant information on the events happening nearby. It also allows users to create their own events and share them with their friends. Spotie was launched as a private beta on TechCrunch Disrupt in Beijing in October 2011. Six months after its emergence, Spotie had achieved 3,000 sign-ups. Spotie became a public beta in early 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Spotie is now in Public Beta! )〕 On 21 March 2014, Typing Ltd, owned by Lukša Jakobušić and Marjan Žitnik, completed the acquisition of Spotie for cash. The acquisition was announced on 11 April 2015.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.crunchbase.com/acquisition/5cfc920aa0ebac1669d207fd886161b9 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Spotie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
