Bringing together Boston's CleanTech news and events

WebInno is an informal gathering of people interested in internet and mobile innovation - free and 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.  Additionally, we're holding a special breakout panel session at 8pm.

Main Dishes (presenting at 7pm):

• Swift Mobile – Kathleen Gilroy (*)
• Noteflight – Joseph Berkovitz
• Trefis – Manish Jhunjhunwala

Side Dishes (demo’ing throughout the evening):

• Textaurant – Josh Bob (*)
• Geolenz – Brian Knoth and Stephen Bennion (*)
• Shortbord – Dave Nemeskal (Pre-launch sneak preview)
• Homefield – Reece Pacheco
• Conversation Associates / Lytiks - David Jenkins
• Sustainable Minds - Terry Swack
• Vuuch - Chris Williams
• Vizibility - James Alexander

Special Optional Breakout Session, "Serial Web Entrepreneurs' Founding Stories" (8pm):

• Entrepreneurs Steven Kane, Tom Gerace, and David Cancel all successfully founded and sold web startups… and now they’re doing it again and again.  Wade Roush of Xconomy will lead a discussion with these serial entrepreneurs sharing their multiple founding stories.  The topics will cover everything from attracting early team members to honing in on the right idea.  Intermixing practical advice and inspirational anecdotes, the discussion will look to uncover the key ingredients to getting a web startup off of the ground from people who have done it multiple times.

(*) In recognition of March as Mass Mobile Month (#massmobmonth), one of our Main Dish presenters and two of our Side Dish demonstrators are mobile and location-centric services. Kathleen Gilroy will demonstrate a special build of her Swift Mobile event app focused on all of the happenings during Mass Mobile Month.
