Hey, Folks, Are you enjoying the August Coolness this summer? Sure, some of you might not like to put on wool scarf and socks in the middle of August in SF, but hey, would you rather be in the 100 degree hot and humid weather in NewYork City? Super cool is our upcoming ERT on Thursday, Aug-19, 6:00pm, in Pillsbury Law Firm's office in Palo Alto. We are regrouping as entrepreneurs/geeks for an evening of " ...dialogue and true sharing" (quote by John Schmitt).
6:00pm, refreshment/drinks and networking
7:00pm, demo and talk
On the deck are:
:: Legal Expert from Pillsbury Law Firm, our sponsor, will be in to answer your itching questions on the legal issues on startup.
:: John Schmitt, co-founder and VP of Engr., GoPhoto (
www.goPhoto.com). GoPhoto just went live! John will demo the product, field questions, and talk about how they built it all in 4 months with 3 guys by staying focused, and being humble listeners to adopt best practices from their strong network.
::Pascal-louis Perez, VP of Engineering and CTO of Kaching (
www.kaching.com), connecting investors with professional investment managers. Pascal started his first company at 16! Yike!
:: Solomon S. , will demo his latest app on Facebook - Social River. A work in progress. He'll solicit your input.
About Pascal's topic: Continuous deployment is a a process that allows companies to release software in minutes instead of days, weeks, or months. Pascal will describe how to use continuous deployment to iterate so fast that you run circles around the competition. He will cover the high level concepts as well as the nitty gritty details including examples from the continuous deployment system that he and his team developed at KaChing.
If you have something to demo/talk and to solicit feedback from fellow entrepreneurs, (mind you, we've got a group of very seasoned startup founders and developers), drop me a note so we can put you on our agenda.
::: After-party? Oh- Yeah, if pizza does not fill you up, we will do our ERT tradition - a late dinner at Kirin Chinese restaurant- 485 Castro St., Mountain View, and perhaps finish off with Gelato!! What else can be a better evening than this!?!
Any other ideas/suggestions? just yell out loud!
Pillsbury kindly provides food/drinks and venue.
ERT Team,
Waleed, Dave, Taewoo, SueZann, Leo, Aihui, Teck, Nick... and Shirley
