Today's Entrepreneur is Nicola Mattina, co-founder of Stamplay. Stamplay is building a unique catalogue of web applications to build and manage marketing campaigns. Apps are designed and created by game and software developers and “uploaded” to the store; brands choose the application they need, customize it and run the marketing campaign.
(Stamplay is one of the promising startups competing to be one of the top 10 finalists to present on stage at Vator Splash NY in December. If you want to see Nicola on stage, or another startup in the competition, vote for them here.)

As Andressen said the world is being eaten by software, still building web sites and applications is long and costly with development costs rising and development tools not accessible to everyone.
Our goal with Stamplay is streamlining the way people create web applications, from web designers and developers to the code-shy novices. We reduce up to 90% the time & cost to deploy a web app and thus companies and web professionals can offer interactive customer experience at a fraction of the cost of company’s current methods: building it in house or outsource it.
Stamplay is a software creation platform and it has three secret ingredients:1) a system of components that perform specialized jobs,2) a visual programming language to combine components with tasks,3) an editor to create interfaces to interact with the software.
