Good morning, All, and our thanks to everyone who came to our first SOS network/elevator pitch event last night at Connolly’s. Just for the record – techstartups.com did the elevator pitch shoots – in the elevator. Absolutely inspired, and the videos should be up at techstartups.com. And once again, our thanks to Daria and Brian from the hive @ 55 for sponsoring. (http://www.hiveat55.com) is Lower Manhattan’s coworking space, where freelancers and small business owners can find all the resources they need, plus a community of independent professionals.

Connections where made. Business got done. And we will do it again – with more notice next time. Third Tuesdays of the month sound good? Ok, done.

And for now, help is on the way… Read More...

Good morning, All, and it’s at Connelly’s, 121 West 45th Street, 3rd Floor and there’s an elevator.

It’s $10 at the door and our thanks once again to our sponsor www.hiveat55.com– Lower Manhattan’s coworking space for freelancers and small business owners. Find all the resources you need, plus a community of independent professionals – convenient to all subways. Always helps and check them out – and the first drink’s on them for underfunded startups. Techstartups.com will also be there to interview you – privately – and record your elevator pitch to post on their site, so practice, practice, practice. Or wing it. I usually do.

There’s an answer to that: because there is no downtime in the startup world.

Good morning, All, and yes, we do have a link for the event – just so we know who’s coming: http://startuponestop.eventbrite.com/.

It’s next Wednesday night – January 27th at 6.30 in midtown. $10 at the door – and the first drink is gratis for underfunded startups, thanks to our sponsor – The Hive at 55 ( www.hiveat55.com). And techstartups.com will be there to memorialize your startup and post the videos on their site. Read More...

Good morning, All, and it’s mostly about announcements today.

We’re confirmed: the first StartupOneStop gathering will be Wednesday, January 27, 6.30-9.00 pm at Connelly’s, 121 West 45th Street, 3rd Floor. And there is an elevator, not to worry. It’s $10 at the door and the first drink is free to underfunded startups. The space accommodates up to 400 people, so we should have lots of room to network and mill around. And hope to see you there!

Our thanks to Daria and Brian from The Hive at 55 for sponsoring, and don’t forget to bring your elevator pitch. Techstartups.com will be there to tape you (individually) and post the video on their site. Read More...

Good morning, All, and I know, took me a while. So it goes – and it’s StartupOneStop if you want to become a fan. Post. Start discussions. It might be time, what, eh?

Speaking of which, been thinking about this for a while, but I need you all to contribute your .02: I’ve thought about sending out an email – maybe once a month, and separate from the postings list – called C .02., and the basic idea is that it’s advice from a C level sort. Would like some of you to share experiences, advice, war stories, success stories – and how you managed it – or didn’t – and what you’d do next time. Or now. Or never again. You don’t really have to be C level and yes, it is one of those double entendres. C02 – carbon dioxide aka hot air. Former copywriter, remember? There’s no such thing as an accident. So, if you want to submit something for it, send it to hello@startuponestop.com. Sure, we could call it ‘Notes from the Corner Office,’ if you’d like, but most of us are startups and lucky to have a corner, much less a corner office. We’ll get there.

For now, help is on the way… Read More...

It’ll be here soon enough. Till then, stay warm and remember: it’s cold in Florida, too. Not that I’m there, mind you.

Good morning, All,

Wow, we’ve gotten quite a few new members this month, so just want to mention/remind you all about a few things:
1) Welcome to you, and the blast goes out twice a week – Tuesdays and Thursdays Read More...

Or maybe that’s too cool announcements…

Good morning, and good news!

We will be having our first get-together, and shooting for the third Thursday of January, which is the 21st, for those of us playing the home version. The Hive at 55 has generously offered to sponsor the first drink (thank you and YAY!). But wait! There’s more! Techstartups.com will also be there – and they want to hear and memorialize what your startup is doing, which will be captured on video, to post on the techstartups.com site. So, come with your elevator pitch and your game face. Pretty cool, huh? Read More...

Good morning, All, and I meant the daylight, of course. LOVE that. I hope everyone had a nice, relaxing holiday, and happy to be back!

And I am planning on us meeting somewhere, somehow this month, even if I just pick a spot in Midtown. Until then, help is on the way…
