NewswireTODAY - /newswire/ - New York, NY, United States, 2013/06/19 - Fever is a mobile app that helps you discover the hottest plans in your city at any given moment. Spend less time searching, and more time doing - FeverUp.com.

Fever, the social discovery tool revolutionizing the way people make plans, has touched down in NYC. Fever places real-time information about nightlife events directly in the hands of its users, utilizing social data to provide high-quality, custom content such as personalized event lists and recommendations, and providing the users the ability to buy tickets, make reservations, invite guests, and chat with friends. As a dedicated channel apart from existing social media platforms, Fever’s streamlined system promises to modernize the way people find, create and share plans in a world driven by mobile technology.

Founded by 20-year-old Pep Gomez, Fever was born out of a need to make it simpler for people to get together, share experiences, and make memories. The current model relies heavily on the effectiveness of promoters, word of mouth, search engines, and chance circumstances. Noticing the inefficiencies in this system, Pep left his job, dedicating himself fully to improving the way people navigate the social landscape. Today, Pep is one of the most well-known tech entrepreneurs in Spain. He holds a MSc in General Management from ESADE Business School and has been nominated as one of the “Top 35 innovators under 35″ by MIT. With the efforts of a skilled team and the support of star investors such as Jeff Pulver (Vonage), Bernardo Hernandez (Google, Zagat), Gary Shainberg (BT), Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid) and many others, Fever 1.0 launched in Barcelona, before expanding strategically through Spain, in cities such as Madrid and Marbella.

Now, Fever has landed in New York, having received one of only thirty NYC Venture Fellowships awarded in 2013 to candidates from around the world. NYC Venture Fellows is a highly prestigious fellowship program established by the New York Economic Development Corporation in conjunction with Fordham University, designed to recognize entrepreneurs who have demonstrated outstanding innovation, leadership, and global perspective. NYC Venture Fellows are brought to New York to scale their businesses under the mentorship of world-class executives and thought leaders, and to provide sustainable economic and social benefit. After experiencing success in Spain, Fever has chosen to bring its vision to New York City. With its unparalleled cultural diversity and vibrant social scene, NYC is an ideal launch pad for Fever as it continues toward its goal of bringing people together in cities around the world.
