WebInno is an informal gathering of people interested in internet and mobile innovation - open to all in the community. We begin with the doors officially opening at 6:30pm in the Cambridge Royal Sonesta Hotel.  At 7pm in the Grand Ballroom we’ll hold our usual format of self-/angel-funded startups demo’ing to the audience in Main Dish showcases, and select an “Audience Choice” winner of the crowd’s favorite.  During the entire evening’s event, Side Dish startup companies will provide informal demonstrations to the networking crowd from the Skyline Suites room. Main Dishes (presenting at 7pm): Play140 – Shawn Broderick TurningArt – Jason Gracilieri AisleBuyer – Andrew Paradise Side Dishes (demo’ing throughout 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   Following Main Dish presentations, at 8pm there will be a special optional breakout session entitled "Self-Funded Success Stories": All the buzz goes to the venture-backed startups, but institutional financing isn’t a prerequisite for success.  Self-funding is real viable option for companies with a strong vision and a recipe for revenue-generation.
