Surprise! Startups in SF

At the 2nd bi-monthly StartupSF event, Brian Solis gave an informative presentation on Conversational PR for Startups. It was held in the office of Orrick, Herrington and Sutcliffe in downtown San Francisco and started off with brief demos from Mosio, Nirvino, and Inveneo. The event was sponsored by Mashable and Bub.blicio.us and was co-hosted by ServePath/GoGrid and Orrick. Similar to a lot of other events in the bay area, StartupSF brings people from different industries and fields together to promote networking in the world of Web 2.0 and Startups. The best thing in my opinion about this event is that it is a non profit organization where all proceeds go to charity. This month, the proceeds went to Inveneo. The cool thing about Inveneo is that they bring solar powered computers to underdeveloped countries where using a solar powered computer can actually be more cost efficient than using electricity.

Naturally, I had a ticket but simply forgot to go. I’ve got to find a solution to not forget these parties. Lately, if It’s not on Upcoming it doesn’t exist for me.

Thanks for inviting us to the show!

Adam, too bad you missed it. The food was tasty, the beers were cold, and the speaker was engaging.

A night well worth the effort, donation or not.
