June 4th, 2013 In the trenches: Best practices for Crowdfunding

  http://www.meetup.com/gaming/events/119904202/   Is crowdfunding right for you? For some people, the thought of sharing their business idea online to get funding is like giving it away but not unless your idea gets funded faster. Maybe you're not comfortable with the idea of getting in front of a camera, but there’s a way to overcome that, too.     At the meetup “In the Trenches: Best Practices for Crowdfunding” at Microsoft last June 4, the panel of speakers came from gamers who went through crowdfunding and lived to tell the tale. They were Melissa Marie Fassetta of FPS Russia, Joshua DeBonis of Meriweather and Mark McCorkle of Luna Nova.

June 5th, 2013 Startup Grind Philly: Gabe Weinberg of DuckDuckGo

  http://www.eventbrite.com/event/6630789871   In early 2011, Gabe Weinberg bought billboard ad space in San Francisco that proclaimed, “Google tracks you. We don’t. Search better at DuckDuckGo.” The “we” was in reality an “I,” because DuckDuckGo.com at that stage was a one-man shop — Gabe Weinberg and his search engine based in the suburbs of Philadelphia. OLC attended the Startup Grind Philadelphia Event hosted by Gabriel Weingberg on June 5, 2013.

“I [find] that usually I can connect the dots with a lot of these companies with relationships I have with V.C. firms and people I have met through the community,” said Mr. Petrie, 50.

PulsePoint, Clearspring and Jingle Networks have all found new office space through the aid of Mr. Petrie.

Young firms like Sailthru, a behavioral email marketing service, and GramercyOne, a cloud-based software development firm, recently secured seed money from venture capitalists and tabbed Mr. Petrie to find them 15,000 square feet and 5,000 square feet of office space, respectively.

He helped Amazon expand to 60,000 square feet of space at 1350 Avenue of the Americas this year—and the online retail giant is counting on him for future growth... view more
