Preview from StartRocket: WebInno 13 Side Dishes

ByChip Griffin

As I have mentioned in this space previously, I will be launching a new media site called StartRocket on August 1.  It will feature text, audio, and video coverage of high-tech entrepreneurship — especially East of the Rockies.

One of the great events taking place on the East Coast are the Web Innovators Group meetings run by David Beisel of Venrock.  Typically, 3 companies get to be the “main dishes” and present demos of their products to several hundred people.  In addition, 6 “side dishes” get to have tables and briefly describe for the audience what they’re all about.

StartRocket will feature coverage of these events, among many others.  Earlier this week, WebInno 13 took place and most of that coverage will appear after StartRocket’s launch.  But to give you a taste of what is to come, I produced a brief video that highlights the side dishes, as well as David’s introduction at the event.

The companies mentioned on this video are: iZync, TeachAde, NextCat, CurbsideMD, and Frevvo.

I was stunned this morning when I read Shel Holtz’s post about Ben McConnell of the Church of the Customer blog arguing that PR pros should “stop pitching bloggers you don’t know.”  Ben and sidekick Jackie Huba are smart people.  They’re also very influential in the online marketing realm and have an increased profile of…
