Good to know!

No vomit here. Just a little throwing up in my mouth. ;-)

Sounds like CrowdPitch!

Hmm, that hasn't been my experience. I went to one of these events before and nobody made them go through any prep process. They do offer these services (not near that price as far as I understand things) and they're not required to pitch at CrowdPitch. The bottom line is that CrowdPitch will be free to the presenting companies, and that's a good thing vs them charging. I'll see if I can get them to comment as I don't have much direct experience with them.

i've been to one of these before, and it was pretty well attended. most attendees were not investors. some investors were there, however. sure, for $125 it's probably reasonable exposure to a somewhat random audience.

interesting. i know that too, but nationally it's almost as if it doesn't matter. it's an identity that's known nationally.

i'd say it's the local region - basically denver+boulder and anything close with stuff going on. ultimately, one that evolves "our state, and primarily those regions" is probably ideal. that my opinion.

if i had to guess, i'd say portable bootable os. i think a web os is years away - we need much more speed and better browsers.

That's a completely unrelated topic. Addressing your sarcasm, it's not an unusual paradigm at all. In fact, it's how I built both of my companies that were successful. As an angel investor, I'm a big fan of bootstrappers and often invest in them.

agree - more than CS.

Interesting point.
