Latina entrepreneurs deserve a spotlight and SFNT is proud to be able to provide a platform for Latina founders and entrepreneurs share their work.


#LatinaGeeks was born from a love of technology and all things digital. Its founders, both marketing and social media influencers as well as early adopters of tech found a gap within the online Hispanic community related to Latina perspectives in technology and its impact on their lives.

#LatinaGeeks is the first-of-its-kind community designed to empower and inspire Latin women by spreading the knowledge of entrepreneurship, social media and technology. #LatinaGeeks is dedicated to sharing business insights, reviews of the latest gadgets, mobile applications, social technology and local tech-startups that women can apply to their daily lives and/or business.

 


This event is dedicated to inspiring women to pursue and excel in tech careers and to helping them become leaders and role models in the industry. Our aim is to shift the paradigm of funding and awareness for Latinas in technology and leverage our platforms to shine a light on Latina led businesses. Let’s challenge the status quo together

The event will showcase Latina founders demo’ing their startups and innovations!

 




FinTech innovation is staggering — and we got an inside look at 6 companies innovating in the space. SF New Tech was proud to partner with swissnex to help provide a unique view into the ever-increasing pace of innovation in the financial sector.



The presenting companies represented the bleeding edge of FinTech; including: EquBot‘s AI for equity funds, Track‘s tax ap for 1099ers, Datatron‘s predictive analytics solutions for financial institutions, Logrr‘s biometric MFA (multi-factor authentication) as a service for financial institutions, siyea‘s machine learning & AI for accounts receivable, StreamLoan’s B2B SaaS/mobile experience for the mortgage landscape, and more.

APPLY TO DEMO TO SF NEW TECH

Today I am beyond thrilled to make a few BIG announcements.Make that HUGE announcements.

No wait, F’IN AMAZING announcements.

Let’s just say we’ve got some real KICK ASS stuff in the works!

In waaaay too many words… please check what’s news!

THE BIG NEWS
This month SFNT enters its 10th year of bringing together the tech community of SF. Happy Birthday to us! I haven’t done a full audit — but since we started, it’s safe to say we’ve seen 800+ startups hit the SFNT stage, over 5000 unique companies in the house, over 16,000 members across all our media, and god knows how many millions of dollars and found dream jobs have filtered through our community since our very first gathering in 2006.   We’ve come a long way, baby!  And that’s thanks to YOU.

THE BIGGER NEWS
The way SF New Tech brings together the tech community apparently has not gone unnoticed!  I’m excited to report Megan Smith, the CTO of the United States of America and Assistant to the President, has invited me to the White House (gulp!) on April 17 to represent SFNT as part of the very first White House Tech Meetup!  Crazy, eh?!  If you’ve got anything you’d like to relay to POTUS, let me know!   Check out the official invitation below.   🙂

THE INCREDIBLY HUGE NEWS
I’ve spent most of my time building the SFNT community through producing compelling events.  Big wheels are turning and today I’m officially announcing that I am joining the awesome team at Wearable World as Vice President of Marketing.  Wearable World’s job is to connect the market makers that drive the Wearable Tech and IoT revolutions forward. We’re in the business of creating mutually beneficial opportunities.  It’s a perfect match — WW has done what I’ve always wanted to do with SFNT through creating an ecosystem for startups (here, largely in wearable and IoT tech) to interface with corporates (and vise versa), to find funding/support, and to go big, fast. I’ve known and been friends with Redg Snodgrass, WW’s CEO, for a long, long time and our coming together makes perfect sense. SF New Tech will continue operate independently —it’s not going away by any means— but you will, no doubt, begin to see more opportunities through our new extended family come through the ether … starting today.

AND EVEN HUGE-ER NEWS!
Enter Wearable World Congress! I’m helping to produce and promote this down-home 2-day wearable-and-IoT-love-and-business-conference at Wearable World’s super-cool HQ inside the Palace of Fine Arts.  We’re expecting over 2000 people to join the conversation about all-things wearable and IoT. This is the BIG one, folks. If you have any business in the ever-evolving world of the Internet and the connected society, you NEED to be here.  Trust me, you’ll hear more about this from me in the coming days and weeks.  Early bird tickets are available NOW.  And because you’re in the SFNT family, you can apply and additional 15% off discount right now.  Use the the code SFNT at http://www.wwcongress.com to score.

THE F’IN AMAZING NEWS
Our first-ever FoodBytes Summit event produced in partnership with Rabobank (the world’s largest food/agtech bank) was so amazing — we’re doing it again!   Save the date: June 25, 2015 at the Bluxome Winery.   More info soon … but if you’re innovating with food or agriculture, we want to hear from you.  Apply to demo in front of leaders in the food world (BIG brands, investors) who want to do business with you. AND … we’re going to bring FoodBytes to NYC in the fall, too!  Apply to demo here!

 AND …SFNT RIGHT NOW

SFNT in March at Runway rocked. We love Runway!  Authy stepped in as a special sponsor and they brought sandwiches! (Bulletproof 2-Factor Auth FTW!)  Akamai was back to share their latest dev and career opportunities.  And Eric Ferraro of Fathom Law was there in spirit — probably too busy with legal stuff from startups!  And, the beer was delivered by Instacart because, why not?

For our April event, SF New Tech has partnered with Kontakt.io and Wearable World for “Beacons & Retail: Putting Proximity to Work!” — a very special event being held at Wearable World HQ inside the Palace of Fine Arts on April 16th.  Expect a formal invitation from SF New Tech soon… but act now and you can score early bird tickets at http://sfntbeaconweek-mail.eventbrite.com

SFNT ADMIN

If you’ve got what it takes to help organize killer events for the tech community, please get in touch — we’re looking for help!  We love working with bright, amazing people. Like Russel Clímaco-Estardo! Big ups for helping me wrangle the tiger that is SFNT. And like John-Paul Bulow, for kicking ass with FoodBytes 1.0 & 2.0!  Like Matthew Gonzales who calls it in from Dublin-town, old school: far out but not far gone! And of course, @socialgreg and JimmyG for plugging in and making shit happen.

And … here’s the invitation I received from the White House.   Sorry but it’s not transferable.  🙂

Friends,
You represent the incredible local community organizing that happens every day across this country, connecting people who share common passions and who would otherwise be strangers to one another. By sharing your talents and knowledge with your neighbors and peers, organizing meetups, investing in people’s development, and helping connect people to reach their goals, you’re keeping our nation on the cutting edge of innovation. In short, the work you do is critically important on so many levels.
We also know that more Americans need to plug into the new interconnected ecosystems we live in, to surface their talents, and connect them to opportunities they deserve, and we know that there are more ways than ever to leverage networks and technology to improve lives. We have a lot of work to do to bridge connections and ensure all of our neighbors can participate.
On April 17, we’re hosting community organizers, city and state officials, and technology thought leaders for a Tech Meetup at the White House. Our goals in gathering are to support America’s innovators, to better bridge digital divides, to interconnect us on common topics, to better collaborate on challenging projects where we have deep need and passion to solve them, and figure out how to include all Americans everywhere in our #InnovationNation.
I hope you will be able to join us!
Megan
U.S. Chief Technology Officer and Assistant to the President

 

It’s official!  We can’t wait to hear from all you disruptive and innovative food companies!

SF NEW TECH & MACWORLD/iWORLD PARTNER TO DISCOVER THE BEST NEW APPLE-CENTRIC INNOVATIONS TO SHOWCASE AT MACWORLD/iWORLD 2014

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

San Francisco, CA — (January 15, 2013) SF New Tech, the Bay Area’s largest, longest-running, and most-loved technology event, is partnering with Macworld/iWorld, the largest event for those who use, create, and love Apple products, to scout out the best new apps, accessories, software and utilities tied to Apple and showcase them at a very special event called “6 About to Break”. The event will take place inside of Macworld/iWorld Expo on March 27, 2014 at the Moscone Convention Center, and will give the six finalists an exclusive opportunity to present and showcase their products with exposure to over 500 media and more than 25,000 attendees.

Unlike most competitions, it’s absolutely free to apply to “6 About to Break” and also free to showcase if chosen. Macworld/iWorld offers an incredible opportunity for developers and innovators to put their product in front of avid Apple fans and garner significant media coverage (Macworld/iWorld generates over 2.4 billion media impressions). “6 About to Break” will be the talk of the event and is bound to make an innovator — or six — famous. Macworld/iWorld 2013 media in attendance included The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Rolling Stone, Mashable, Macworld, CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox, New York Times and more.

The call for submissions for “6 About to Break” officially starts today.

The deadline for submissions is Monday, March 3, 2014 at 5 pm PST. Winners will be announced on Wednesday, March 12, 2014.

The six winning selections will each be given five minutes for a live demo and then another five minutes for a robust Q&A on stage at Macworld/iWorld on Thursday, March 27, 2014 in front of thousands of conference attendees and hundreds of media. Winners will also be awarded prizes, including but not limited to six Complete Kendo UI and Icenium full product licenses and support from Telerik.  We will also promote the winners via our media partnership with VentureBeat.

Immediately following the showcase, SF New Tech and Macworld/iWorld will host a special reception to celebrate the winners of the event and raise a glass to all things Apple and innovation. For those applicants not selected, Macworld/iWorld will be offering a special rate to both attend and showcase at the conference.

TapCanvas
TapCanvas
Joshua Merrill
Founder, Chief Pixel Pusher
TapCanvas lets anyone build a single-use HTML5 mobile app.  TapCanvas gives customers the tools to build, promote, and analyze “single-use” HTML5 mobile apps. These short shelf-life use cases include events, real estate, advertising, and more.  With novel promotional tools, like preprogrammed NFC stickers, we’ll open a world of new use cases where both print and digital alternatives fall short.  We’re pushing the limits of what HTML5 can do on mobile phones to create a rich, native app-like experience.  http://www.tapcanvas.com // @tapcanvas

 

NeuroDreamer
NeuroDreamer
Mitch Altman, Founder/inventor/mad scientist
Mitch will show his NeuroDreamer sleep mask, which helps lull people into restful sleep.  It uses light and sound, and is embedded into a comfortable foam mask that you can wear all night as you sleep.  There is also optional Lucid Dreaming functionality built into the NeuroDreamer to help people control their dreams. NeuroDreamer sleep masks also have a Meditation version to help people learn to meditate.  Mitch will also show his Brain Machine / TripGlasses project, which he wrote up for MAKE Magazine — these are fun simplifications of the NeuroDreamer to help people meditate (while imagining beautiful colors and patterns from their imagination).  http://www.NeuroDreamer.com // @maltman23

Kagingle
Fred Dewey, CEO
Kachingle is a “Turbocharged App Monetization Platform”.  App vendors today need an ongoing source of revenue because for most app and service providers, advertising, download fees and the Freemium model are just not producing enough revenue on which to build a profitable/sustainable business model. And with the explosion in the number of apps, app discoverability has become a big problem. Kachingle is meeting this critical need by providing bundle marketing for pc/web & mobile apps, giving users a compelling reason to start paying, and app vendors a 2x-5x revenue uplift. One of our early partners Avira (Freemium anti-virus/security) is bringing their 105 million users to the table. With Kachingle, app vendors and users can build their own bundles, allowing users to maximize value and app vendors to maximize ongoing revenue.  http://www.KachinglePremium.com // @Kachingle

Last week, we were honored to see Brett Solomon, the Executive Director of Access, on the SF New Tech stage.

Brett didn’t demo anything, per se, but he did share news of how the internet is under constant threat, as well as some of the things Access is doing to help protect it.

One of the major initiatives Access recently launched is the Access Tech Innovation Awards which will provide $100,000 in prizes to individuals, organizations or networks that have the best actionable ideas of how to use information technology to promote and enable human rights or deliver a social good outcome.

Access Innovation Prize

Awarding $100,000 to the best innovations to help protect human rights online.

Prizes are divided into five categories:

Blackout Resilience: $20,000 will go to the best actionable idea to help build an open-sourced, blackout resilient technology for use by activists and human rights workers in conditions where there is a need for alternate communications infrastructure to the one put in place and/or controlled by the authorities. For example, where there has been a communication network shutdown.                           

Making Crypto Easy: $20,000 will go to the best actionable idea to properly integrate encryption into an existing product/system, educate users as to how to use encryption and/or build a community who use encryption by default.                        

The Bounty: A $20,000 bounty will be granted for the best patch for a disclosed or as yet undisclosed vulnerability in a program/platform or software used by human rights defenders and activists.

Golden Jellybean: This is an unthemed category. $20,000 will go to the best actionable idea of how communication technologies can be used to promote and enable human rights. This could include funding a researcher for $20,000; the development of a training guide for activists; a new censorship circumvention program; or an initiative to detect surveillance equipment on the network

Access Facebook Award: $20,000 will go to the best actionable idea of how to use the Facebook platform to deliver a human rights, human development or social good outcome. We’re looking for initiatives across the spectrum – from enhancing freedom of speech and expression to improving the economic well-being of a disadvantaged group. If you are applying for the Access Facebook Award – please read this.

Applications will be evaluated based on the impact, likelihood, innovation, and sustainability of the project or idea. For more information about the awards or to apply, please visit the prize website: https://www.accessnow.org/prize.  Applications are due August 15th.

Feel free to share the award information with anyone you think may be interested.

Freedom registry

Joost Zuurbier, CEO
Last month ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, has released the list with more than 1,900 applications for top level domains.  With so many new domain extensions added to the root zone over the coming years it is no doubt that registrants will have the ultimate choice of getting their right domain. The supply will be endless. In open economies unlimited supply result in a low price, a very low price. Freedom Registry is a registry operator for top level domains. What sets us  apart from other registry operators is that we believe domain names should  be free. It’s time for a change. It’s time to wake up. It’s time for free domains.

Reddit is the “front page of the internet” famously serving upwards of 2 billion pages a month. Over 35 million “redditors” contribute links, images, memes, self-posts and more … and then up-vote them up into internet fame or down-vote them into obscurity.  Erik Martin, one of the “100 Most Influential People in the World” according to Time Magazine, oversees this highly active community and is widely known for helping Reddit organize opposition to proposed SOPA and PIPA antipiracy laws earlier this year.  He will be discussing reddit community projects that keep him up at night.

Waze
Di-Ann Eisnor, VP Platform & Partnerships
Waze is a social traffic & navigation app based on the world’s largest community of drivers sharing real time road info and contributing to the “common good” out there on the road. By simply driving around with Waze open, users passively contribute traffic and other road data. Users can take a more active role by sharing road reports on accidents, police traps, or any other hazards along the way, helping to give other users in the area a ‘heads-up’ about what’s to come– and because it’s 100% user-generated, the more people who use Waze, the better (and more fun) it gets! Also, Waze is shooting to save its community time AND money with its new fuel program to help our community of 20 million drivers worldwide find their best gas station options and real-time prices.

April 25-26, 2012

The rise of webscale businesses like Google, Facebook and Linkedin have permanently changed consumer expectations in the workplace.

As we enter a new era of IT disruption, early adopters that are quick to capitalize on disruptive technologies will lead the market. The question remains: Which technologies will emerge as the new standards?

At Under the Radar we select a handful of the industry’s most compelling emerging startups that provide cutting edge solutions. Our companies present to top IT executives looking to partner with and acquire new technologies. Want to get the edge on your competition? Join us on April 25-26, 2012 to learn about the latest innovations and meet leading executives from the enterprise for a day of discovery, networking and deal flow.

If you came out to party with us last week at our Holiday Bash @ Twilio (photos: http://on.fb.me/ecDnVN), then you already know how excited we are about our “little” tech community here. Thanks for coming out, it was a blast!

On top of all the fun, we collected a big box of food for those less fortunate here in the Bay Area and are helping to improve (and save!) the lives of hundreds more around the world.

Thanks to those who purchased tickets to our Holiday Bash, we are proud to announce the SF New Tech community is …

We’d like to offer up a BIG THANKS to our sponsors of the SF New Tech Holiday Bash who helped us pull it off:

– Twilio, who are changing the world with their web-service API for businesses to build scalable, reliable communication apps (http://bit.ly/fx5Ukx).

I’d also like to offer up an additional hug to Twilio for graciously hosting our bash at their awesome HQ. If you already know Twilio and have built (or are planning on building) something with their API for your startup, then buckle down and apply NOW before the 1/1 deadline to be considered for the Twilio Fund, a $250,000 seed fund by Dave McClure at 500 Startups (see http://www.twiliofund.com). It’s not too late!

If you didn’t make it out for the party, that’s OK! We hope to see you soon … we can’t wait for 2011 – it’s going to be a great year!

Now accepting startup business pitches on a napkin…for real!! Silicon Valley folklore has it that many of today’s most successful companies were pitched to potential funders, with ideas scribbled on a napkin. With that in mind, Pitch, a competition for startups, with at least one woman on board, is taking applications for their 4th Annual Pitch competition.

They’re requesting as low tech an entry as you can get: ideas submitted on a napkin. And that’s only part of the creative requirement.

Minimum requirements, if you will, are the founding team must have a female, and some flavor of technologist, and that your venture must at least be in alpha or beta testing. Slant the pitch towards what they’re looking to fund: a company with high-growth potential in a variety of businesses including: consumer web and mobile, enterprise web and mobile, consumer hardware, biotech and cleantech. If you’re a finalist, the venture capital doors open (check out last year’s panel) and you get to pitch a panel of high level funders where the real money comes your way.

women 2 pitch night 2008 competition photo w2pitch

Each Lunch Table at Pitch usually has "Lunch Leads” - Entrepreneurial Movers and Shakers in the Silicon Valley.

Move fast to be considered. Fill out the application, your business idea napkin and a 2 minute video as if you were talking to your customer by the October 8, 2010 deadline. That gets you into the consideration pool where judges evaluate your ideas. Feedback will be sent by Oct. 14, with judging on Nov. 4 at the Women 2.0 Startup Competition in San Francisco (get tickets here). Even better, if you’re not sure how to write up your business plan, you can link here for ideas on how to gets started using the sample application form.

Got questions? Feeling Shy? Get in touch with the Pitch 2010 peeps at this address – askpitch@women2.org

Grab a napkin and video camera and start your pitching!

Interested in being considered for a demo?


Starting this month, our SFNewTech blog will be bringing insider scoops on the latest happenings at the companies that demo their application or service on our stage. We will also be interviewing the people behind all the cool new technology!

Our first such company is DooChoo. Doochoo took stage at the July 20th (2010) SFNewTech Event. After their awesome demo, we caught up with the two co-founders Armando Biondi and Paolo Privitera and asked them to give us the scoop on DooChoo, their unique platform and applications for opinions.

doochoo - platform and applications for opinions

What is DooChoo?

DooChoo: It’s a platform — a technological platform with some applications built on top of that. It’s like a Freebase for opinions. Imagine a Wikipedia like site, imagine a place where anybody can post opinions and can ask opinions and can get answers. Doochoo is a public, open platform. We don’t own data. You can think of it like a Wikipedia, but much better. Wikipedia is not semantic; so you cannot query Wikipedia.

We compare our platform to Freebase — that, by the way, has been acquired by Google — we have had great meetings with Freebase and we’re really impressed by their platform.

So you can imagine a Freebase-like site with API on top and applications. We are building some applications that work as proof of concept plus we can go very deep into niche markets. We can power up specific areas of the platforms. We do API. We can offer any developer or user to build an application on our platform.

So, I program in your platform and then implement it on my Site?

DooChoo: Anything you can imagine about using a platform or an application can be done. Keep in mind that it’s not just for developers and users. It’s a platform where anybody, even a non-proficient / non-techie users, can go there and query any possible question, opinions, recommendation and get an answer. Not only for data, but also for structure.

How different or similar is it to social search engines like Aardvark?

DooChoo: It’s very different in this way — virtually any other competitor of DooChoo doesn’t have structured data model — structured data for inbound information. We are starting from building a new type of data structure, very specifically made for organizing opinions and is going to help to build the semantic layer on which we can also, in phase two or three, gather data that are not structured.

Right now, a lot of companies are offering semantic too, to understand sentiment. We are not doing that. We are building a structured data set on which people can offer opinions in a structured way. Imagine a poll or a survey — you like or don’t like — yes or no.

In the future, as I said, we can also have semantic tools to understand what people are thinking, but that is not our goal.

Can you tell me a little bit about the company?

DooChoo: The whole idea started more than a few years ago from Armando, then we met through a company called H-art in Italy. The company has been officially founded in January 2010 and it has been funded as well. We had a price seed of $150,000. We’ve had a decent burn rate and now we are close to the moment in which we are going to need funding to reach our next step.

In other news:

Help catch a pirate!
When the weather is agreeable, I sequester myself out in the middle of the bay to get work done out on SF New Tech’s floating HQ.  Unfortunately, these waters are littered with tweakers and pirates who tend not to respect the property of others. Just ask my poor anchor line that was cut not too long ago.   Little do they know, we’ve got an eye in the sky! (Actually, the potential of ~10,000 eyes in the sky!)  If you see anything funky going on with the little white boat with the red stripe– the one that looks like a VW bus welded to a Boston Wailer– sound the alarm!   Tune in @ http://www.justin.tv/sfnewtech

Lost in space.
We had a minor server glitch last week and any mail sent to me at myles@sfnewtech.com is floating around somewhere in the interwebs.  They may be too far gone to retrieve, but we’re working on it.  That said, if you emailed me recently and I haven’t replied, this is probably why.  Gulp.  Sorry.

Hope to see you next week!

Big Summer Social

 


There are two types of people in this world.

Those who lead and those who follow.

Well, actually, make that three kinds…


There are also those who inspire the rest of us — like you.

To celebrate the spirit of attempting the impossible and breaking new ground to make a difference in this world, we’ll be gathering the innovators among us — the founders, the CEOs, the renegades and the revolutionaries — for SF New Tech’s Big (Endless) Summer Social.

This exclusive event is an homage to the relentless pursuit of forging new uncharted paths, building a brighter future, and finding (and catching) that oft elusive wave of success.

Please join us on Friday, July 23, 2010 from 4-9 pm as we raise a glass (or two) at the esteemed Stonebrook Court Estate in Los Altos Hills, CA.

Cold drinks and yummy food on the promenade, table-side demos of new tech in the grand ballroom, and many other great surprises await!

$25.00 from each ticket purchase will be set aside to help impact lives in a positive way thanks to citizeneffect.org.

 


Stonebrook Court is an architectural masterpiece that has played host to presidents and kings, movie stars, and celebrities.

Originally built in 1914, this magnificent home is one of the greatest estates in California. World renowned landscape architect Stephen Suzman designed the majestic garden, which includes follies, rolling lawns, a focal point of a grassy Tudor mount, knot garden, boxwood parterres, and long perennial borders filled with roses.

The pool features a stone fountain surmounted by an antique bronze statue of Neptune. The Grand Ballroom features 16th Century gilded Venetian ceiling paintings from the Palazzo Grimani.

Thank you to all who came out to our Geo-Loco Smackdown last week.  Holy smokes! 

Brightkite, Where, PlacePop, DoubleDutch, Booyah / MyTown, and Quova dove really deep into the geo-locational services landscape! And our panel format seemed to be a hit!  Expect more events like this one!  Check out video clips of the presenters and the panel at www.justin.tv/sfnewtech/videos  And see the RSVP list below!

2) The Big Summer Social!
A lot of folks have been asking me about our forthcoming "Summer Social". Here’s the scoop:  On Friday, July 23 from 4-9 pm, 150+ technology executives will gather at the private estate of Stonebrook Court (check it out: http://bit.ly/sHr0f) in Los Altos Hills, CA to celebrate summer over cold beer, tasty munchies, and bold new tech in typical SF New Tech-style.  We will begin inviting Founders and CEOs in the coming days and then will open up registration to others if/when space allows.  As much as we’d like to invite everyone, we can’t.  Sorry. House rules.  And it’s not my house. Now, if you run a tech company and want to get social with us please let us know at www.sfnewtech.com/stonebrook .  If you’d like to sponsor this event, here’s sponsorship info (PDF): http://drop.io/summersocialsponsorsheet

3) Next SF New Tech: July 20 – Save the Date!
The next SF New Tech at Mighty will be on Tuesday, July 20th.  Note, it’s on a TUESDAY, not Wednesday.  Details coming soon! 

4) Call for Designers!
We need a designer to help us with, um, some design work.  Specifically for our forthcoming Summer Social at Stonebrook Court. I could enlist 99designs.com but thought to throw it out to our community here first. Designers, send me a well-thought-out treatment (pdf or jpg) of a design element that captures (creates!) the essence of our Summer Social at Stonebrook  and if we dig it, you and a colleague will get into a year of SF New Tech events for free.  If we end up choosing your design, we’ll get you into the big bash too.  We’re looking for an image like http://bit.ly/bQM9Xe but more "summery" and, um, social. 🙂  We’ll use it on the event registration page and on event collateral, etc.  Any takers? (Deadline is Wednesday 6/30)

5) Call for Writers!
Calling all bloggers and excessive tweeters.  As part of our relaunch of sfnewtech.com in the coming weeks, we’ll be integrating more and more commentary from our community.  If you’re interested in writing event recaps, reviews, interviews, opinion pieces, or god forbid, "news" … we can get you published and in front of people who will want to read your words.   Interested pontificators are invited to drop me a well-written note with a link to their recent work for consideration!

6) Call for Sponsors! 
As you know, SF New Tech is the largest regular tech event in SF.  And we’re not too proud to beg. We need your help finding sponsors who want to get in with the cool kids.  We’ve got revenue share deals to offer for closed deals based on your referrals.  Who do you know?  Contact me for more info.

7) Geo-Loco Conference 2010
If you didn’t get enough geo-loco last week (or if you couldn’t swing it but really wanted to be there) than the BIG Geo-Loco Conference in SF on July 21st with Fred Wilson (Union Square Ventures) keynoting is not to be missed.  All the major players will be there…  And so should you.   Click here http://bit.ly/doJU5F and use the code "sfnewtech" for 20% off ticket prices.

8 ) FACCSF Business Booster 2010

Big Summer Social

 


There are two types of people in this world.

Those who lead and those who follow.

Well, actually, make that three kinds…


There are also those who inspire the rest of us — like you.

To celebrate the spirit of attempting the impossible and breaking new ground to make a difference in this world, we’ll be gathering the innovators among us — the founders, the CEOs, the renegades and the revolutionaries — for SF New Tech’s Big (Endless) Summer Social.

This exclusive event is an homage to the relentless pursuit of forging new uncharted paths, building a brighter future, and finding (and catching) that oft elusive wave of success.

Please join us on Friday, July 23, 2010 from 4-9 pm as we raise a glass (or two) at the esteemed Stonebrook Court Estate in Los Altos Hills, CA.

Cold drinks and yummy food on the promenade, table-side demos of new tech in the grand ballroom, and many other great surprises await!

$25.00 from each ticket purchase will be set aside to help impact lives in a positive way thanks to citizeneffect.org.

 


Stonebrook Court is an architectural masterpiece that has played host to presidents and kings, movie stars, and celebrities.

Originally built in 1914, this magnificent home is one of the greatest estates in California. World renowned landscape architect Stephen Suzman designed the majestic garden, which includes follies, rolling lawns, a focal point of a grassy Tudor mount, knot garden, boxwood parterres, and long perennial borders filled with roses.

The pool features a stone fountain surmounted by an antique bronze statue of Neptune. The Grand Ballroom features 16th Century gilded Venetian ceiling paintings from the Palazzo Grimani.

It was hump day in the middle of Social Media Week and the tech scenesters (that’s you) came out enforce for one of the biggest and best SF New Tech’s to date.  I’m still buzzing from it!

We’d like to give a big thanks to Superfeedr, Bonvoy, Soundtrckr, LikeMinds, Amadesa, Talenthouse for coming out to strut their stuff! 

And, without question, we are thrilled to be working with some of the best companies on earth who’ve stepped up to sponsor our amazing event and community. 

Three cheers for: Bullivant Houser Bailey, Sun Startup Essentials, CALinnovates.org, Mylermedia, Future-Works, The New York Times, Mashable, ReadWriteWeb, Justin.tv, and NerdStalker.

The next SF New Tech is scheduled for 2/17 and the theme is "working smarter".   Final details coming soon.  You’d be well-served to follow us on Twitter @sfnewtech if you’d like to be clued-in on how to score free or highly discounted tickets.  (You’re also invited to follow me on Twitter @mylerdude for meaningless drivel and unsubstantiated blather on nothing in particular.)

Without further ado, here are some key links (and tidbits) from the big event on Wednesday night:

1) The "People’s Choice" Winners, only Geekier!  See who won over our hearts and minds …. and who didn’t.

2) Check out the 60 Second Spots!  Folks are hiring!  Seeking partnerships!  More!

3) Thanks to Matthew Silvey, photos are up on Flickr (tag: #sfnt) and are also posted to the SF New Tech Group on Facebook.  Join the group and tag early and often!

4) CALlinnovates.org, one of SF New Tech’s newest sponsors, announced their launch and some awesome poll data from stage.  Like "iPhone users like Jerry Brown for Gov, BlackBerry users like Meg Whitman"   

5) See the night as it unfolded thanks to the archived live stream from Justin.tv 

6) If you’d like to follow up with Amadesa, the good folks who picked up the tab for awesome El Tonayense tacos last night, please feel free to contact Jay Sahourieh, who did the demo, directly at jay@amadesa.com or 415-690-3425.

Also of note…

David Siegel, my good friend, fellow geek and author of Creating Killer Web Sites and Futurize Your Enterprise, has spent the last two years investigating the semantic web, asking what it is, why businesses need it, and how it will appear. The book is called Pull, published by Portfolio Press. It’s all about making the switch from pushing information at consumers to letting them pull it. Siegel combines his own vision for a web of data with a nontechnical overview of what’s happening today and how it will change our lives tomorrow. Business people, technologists, VCs, and entrepreneurs will find plenty of new ideas here. You’re invited to visit the web site for the book to read Siegel‘s blog and learn more about pull at www.ThePowerOfPull.com

And, be sure to check out Tech Search Party this Saturday (February 6, 2010) in SF.  EA and Geeknet are offering prizes, and SF New Tech members get 25% off with Discount Code: SFNEWTECH. Get thee to www.techsearchparty.com today!

As you may know, I’ve been co-producing Lunch For Good, a very cool event series with the venerable J.R. Johnson from Lunch.com and the esteemed Chris Heuer of Social Media Club fame.

 

 

 

 

The second installment of Lunch For Good was on 10.22 and I must admit — this conversation just keeps getting better and better.   Our mission with Lunch For Good #2 was to explore ways we can help evolve the notion of enticing more critical thinking online.  The knee-jerk reaction to post a comment, press a button that says "like" or "dislike" (thumbs up or down), or jump into a comment thread with happenstance prose that’s far from developed, is in essence (and often in retrospect) a demonstration of poor judgment, not of good judgment.   We need to dial this back and improve the processes and the triggers of how people are invited to participate in online conversations.

The Internet is (still) a wild place and people have become too accustomed to reacting flippantly to others versus engaging their mental gears and thinking through the best way to engage and respond, that all to often leads to an unavoidable minefield of tit-for-tat chatter that’s meant to pass a conversation — but fails miserably at doing so. 

We have all been trained since birth to think through our actions before acting but online we tend to forget about this little life lesson and the result is not something to be proud of.  The big question — and the topic of this last conversation — is how can we move away from this short-attention-span-theater type of conversation and spark more critical thinking online for the benefit of not only the conversation at-hand but to better the online environment as a place that’s truly enriching and beneficial.

There are no easy answers here.  People are being coaxed to think in 140 characters or less, leaving little room for diving into critical thinking.  

The 80 or so passionate folks who joined us for lunch last week– a hearty crew of community managers, journalists, online conversationalists, and the like — were really engaged in our shared quest for finding ways and means of improvement….and mind blowingly so!

I urge you to view the videos from this event to see exactly what I’m talking about: that there are small, but significant, things we can do as members of the online community at-large to move the needle towards more critical discourse in our online dealings. 

Sometimes all it takes is a simple idea of action for the iteration process to begin … and with Lunch For Good #2, I must say, we made serious strides in exploring the nuances that can create a c-change in the evolution of community, dialogue and, yes, critical thinking online.

Interested in an invite to Lunch For Good #3 — the grand finale of this great series?  Click here for consideration (note, as much as we’d like to accomodate all those who are interested in joining us, due to limited space, we cannot guarantee all whom apply will be invited).

 

Another great SF New Tech has come and gone!  

 

And another full house for the record books! 

Imagine: we only announced this event a week prior and still, over 200 people found their way to Mighty to indulge in some great conversations, cocktails, tacos, and of course, tech demos from some awesome companies. 

Big thanks to Bodukai, YourVersion, MeeHive, ZoomPool, FamiliLink, and Plurchase for taking to the stage to strut their stuff.  

As promised, here are …

Real Time Ratings – see how registered ticket buyers rated their favorite (and least favorite) demos

Thanks to our sponsors once again!  Sun, Bullivant Houser Bailey, Mylermedia, Tractor, Future-Works, you help make SF New Tech what it is!  And thank you Networks In Motion, too, for sponsoring the Taco Truck!    And a special shout out to Jeff the Pizza Hacker for setting up shop outside and serving up some of his most tasty artisan pies!  Come on back, Jeff, and do it again!

The next SF New Tech is on November 18th.  Stay tuned for details, coming soon.

In the meantime…

It’s not too late!  If you’re a tech company founder or CEO (or you’re in the VC community) and you’d like to be considered for an invitation to the exclusive Founder’s Feast on October 19th at Stonebook Court, one of the most majestic private estates in California, please let us know!  More info here!

Or — if you have an interest in engaging in a thoughtful dialogue with some of the brightest online community thought leaders on how to best spark critical thought online, we still have a few seats left at the second of three "Lunch For Good" symposiums taking place on 10/22.  Lunch for Good is an event series put together by myself, Chris Heuer, founder of the Social Media Club, and J.R. Johnson, CEO of Lunch.com.  You can read more about the mission and participate in the conversation here.  If you would like to be considered for an invitation to the next Lunch For Good event on 10/22, please click here.

 Until next time …  be well, be good, and stay cool!

 

 

 

I don’t know about you, but when I’m in a room filled to the gills with people excited about what they’re doing with their lives, it makes me smile. 

That’s how I feel at SF New Tech.  It’s a monthly ritual of entrepreneurial goodness.

Seems like folks really enjoy talking about how they’re trying to do cool stuff.    Around the room conversations abound.  I’m a firm believer that markets are conversations and you guys who were there last night knew how to get it on.

I love when you can get past the 30-second elevator pitch of your new tech, and then find yourself shooting the shit about something totally random, only to suddenly circle back to some real world ramifications playing at hand because of your new tech… there’s magic going on.  

Relationships begin — and thrive — when the mind is open and relaxed.   SF New Tech strives to produce an environment that’s dedicated to promoting a highly social, yet academic experience. 

It’s simple.  Drink up, eat some free yummy REAL tacos, meet new people, uncover a lead, a possible job opportunity, meet a money guy, a blogger from the WSJ, a cute girl (or guy) who knows …?   And then sit down, shut up, and listen to others share with you what they’ve been working on.   It’s a wonderful dynamic, if you ask me!

Also, we place a strict five minute limit on the demos because everyone should be accountable.  The 5 minutes of Q & A is designed so anyone can connect with the CEO on stage and put him on the spot.  And the CEO finds himself on stage because he’s not only looking to show off his baby, he’s looking for feedback … and the circle remains unbroken.

So — enough out of a guy who buys crazy shirts on eBay.  

Here are some nifty links concerning last night (and then some…)

If you landed here from the feedback survey — thank you! 

Who won over SF’s tech community?  See the charts!

It was great seeing everyone last night!   Diddit, HearPlanet,  tmeet.me, Sonar6 and Nileguide — you all rocked!

Here’s a quick recap of important links and news:

And …

We’re on a safari mission in search of sponsors to help raise the roof for The Big Summer Geek Out Party in July.   We want to share the love with companies who wish to get out in front of SF’s tech scene and early adopter crowd.   Our last party was nuts — all had a blast and the sponsors were thrilled.  Let’s do it again.  It’s turnkey.  Just show up.  You’ll be up to your ears in SF tech love.  Promise.  Also — we’re always welcoming new sponsors who wish to support the community (and their bellies) by sponsoring the famous El Toynaense Taco truck and/or pick up the bar tab.  Please email "myles at sfnewtech.com" for more information.

As I mentioned from the stage (and in a previous blog post), with the launch of our Annual Membership Program, you no longer have to worry about scrambling for tickets to SF New Tech.   With annual membership to SF New Tech you can just now show up and join the fun.  We’ve made it simple to join, and cheap too… especially, considering how membership is your golden ticket to any of at least 12 events a year.  We’ll probably offer some cool "members only" benefits in the future, too.   We’re offering membership plans for individuals as well as packages for companies that want to provide easy access for staffers and colleagues … all while eliminating the hassle of those pesky post-event expense reports!  Also, it’s no secret that clients and portfolio companies love being entertained at SF New Tech. With membership, you can treat them to a good time, lickety split!   See the plans:  www.sfnewtech.com/membership
