The Foster.ly team (comprised of ~20 members of the DC/MD/VA entrepreneurship community) has been working hard to bring the next iteration of Foster.ly to life... and the new feature set is impressive. All drinks are 50% off and a portion of all bar sales will be given to Code Now -- an amazing local organization that teaches underrepresented youth to program. For those of you interested in Foster.ly t-shirts, we're ordering super soft Next Level 60/40's from CustomInk.com. After all, what's the point in t-shirts nobody wants to wear? (Note: The T-shirts tend to run small.) Want a pic? Here you go... Come celebrate with us! Please take note that this soft launch event has been made possible by Microsoft BizSpark and Verizon.
