Fellow members,
Mayor Mike says next week is Internet Week http://www.internetwe... so we got ourselves a super extra special one on Tuesday.
No new startups this time.
Instead, it's New York's Top Internet Companies........
* AlleyCorp (Kevin Ryan, CEO)
* DailyCandy (Catherine Levene, COO)
* Etsy (Rob Kalin, CEO)
* Huffington Post (Betsy Morgan, CEO & Jonah Peretti, Co-Founder)
* IAC (Joey Levin, SVP/M&A)
* The Ladders (Marc Cenedella, CEO)
* Meetup (Greg Whalin, CTO & Maya Voskoboynikov, GPM)
* Mimeo (David Uyttendaele & Jeff Stewart, Founders)
* Thumbplay (Chris Phenner, VPBD)
(There are other great internet companies born & bred in NYC, and maybe some top these. Who knows. This is an awesome group we slapped together. It's not an official list.)
Grill 'em, celebrate 'em. They gotta Get To The Demo like anyone.
IAC is graciously hosting cocktails! (Thanks IAC!)
== IMPORTANT DETAILS from Dawn Barber, our Co-Organizer ==
There's only room for 400 of us. Final 200 RSVP slots open tomorrow (Friday May 30th) at 12noon. You know how quickly they go, so be ready. http://newtech.meetup....
PLEASE REMEMBER 3 THINGS ABOUT RSVPs:
1. ONLY RSVP'D MEMBERS WILL BE ADMITTED. Be early (6:45!!), bring ID, and have $10 cash handy to keep the line moving. If you RSVP & don't show up, you're taking an in-demand spot from someone else and may be blacklisted in the future, so SHOW UP IF YOU'RE RSVP'd!
2. YOUR *NAME* AT http://www.meetup.com.... MUST BE YOUR FULL NAME BY 1:00PM Tuesday. RSVPs WITHOUT FULL NAMES WILL BE DELETED AFTER 1:15PM, making room for others.
3. VETERAN MEMBERS OF THE NY TECH MEETUP ONLY. Sorry, but since we're limited in space, we're going to make this one for members who've supported by previously attending. YOU WILL BE BOOTED OFF AS A NEW MEMBER. We'll welcome new members next month! Again, sorry.
So, if you miss out on the 200 slots that open Friday at 12:00noon check back after 1:15pm on Tuesday for possible open spots from those who did not include their full name & company affiliation or are new members who were booted.
IF SOMEONE WANTS TO WEBCAST IT, go for it, and post it on the message boards so more people can see what happens.
As always, SPECIAL THANKS to the VC firm of DFJ Gotham http://www.dfjgotham.... the law firm of Wilson Sonsini http://www.wsgr.com/W... and IAC http://www.iac.com/in... for their continued sponsorship of our NY Tech Meetup!

“ Tremendous! ” -
“ The best event so far. Some impressive NYC companies! ” -
“ I enjoyed hearing Internet company leaders' perspectives, even if some of it was pure marketing, and not enough about the daily or weekly struggles. Or maybe they're beyond having daily struggles...? ” -
“ Excellent Job! ” -
“ I thought this was one of the best meetups in a while because of the quality of presenters. I think that all meetups should have a mix of startups and maybe 1 or 2 established companies. ” -
“ I had a really great time, met lots of new and awesome people, and am in awe of the fabulous IAC map! ” -
