We’re two weeks away from our September 13th Web Innovators Group, I wanted to share the demo’ing companies presenting that night, as we’ve just put together the program. The doors officially open at 6:30pm at the Grand Ballroom in the Cambridge Royal Sonesta, with the “Main Dish” presentations to the entire crowd starting at 7pm:
• Play140 – Shawn Broderick
• TurningArt – Jason Gracilieri
• AisleBuyer – Andrew Paradise
Following those presentations, each of our “Side Dish” demonstrators will have an opportunity to give a quick 15-second overview of their service to the audience followed by a showcase of their company at tables spread throughout the periphery of the skyline suites room during the unstructured networking portion of the evening:
• Discovir – Jawad Laraqui & Joe Presbrey
• HuddleHub – James Bassett, Adan Gutierrez, & Patrick Hereford
• Webiva – Pascal Rettig & Martha Rettig
• Custommade – Matt Goldstein
• Brass Monkey – Chris Allen, Jim Bull, & Jon Leach
• Athleague - Ravi Mishra
• Zazu - Punit Shah & Marc Held
• Episend - Rich DiBona
All of the above companies were selected amongst dozens of applicants looking to participate in the program. Unfortunately there was not space for other qualifying startups; if yours was not chosen, I’d encourage you to reapply for the next event in November.
At 8pm, there will be a special optional breakout session entitled “Self-Funded Success Stories” featuring three founders tell their stories of transforming their bootstrapped startups into tremendous growth machines without outside capital: Steve Conine (CSN Stores), David Hauser (Grasshopper), and Todd Garland (BuySellAds).
Everyone who is interested in web and mobile innovation is invited to attend the event. Please RSVP (and find additional details) on our event page (http://webinno27.eventbrite.com/) if you plan to join us so we are able to print name tags and appropriately size the rooms.
