MoMoCo Members

Sorry for getting this month’s message out so late after the May meeting. I want to thank the speakers again- Martin May, Brightkite, Steve Briggs, SHUB, and John Kanarowski, Zerista- for taking the time to present their companies. Mobile social networking is a very interesting and hot space right now, but more importantly money making business models are starting to develop, such as with Starbucks and Brightkite. I am excited to see how things evolve in this space during the rest of 2010, including what the next “it” thing will be.

As most of you know, I always preach the three pillars of MoMoCo- Educate, Inspire, and Create Meaningful Business Relationships- and we continue to strive to meet all three objectives for you on a regular basis. After just completing our 8th meeting, I am really starting to see meaningful progress in helping to develop some meaningful business relationships for folks in MoMoCo. While it makes me proud to see this happen, you all should be congratulated for making the time to create these important ties to the local mobile community. If you have established a significant partnership, developed a revenue generating opportunity, or even found a job through your involvement with MoMoCo we would really love to hear about it. We promise to keep any private information private, but would really like to tell others what is happening here!

I am also very happy to tell you that a MoMoCo member company has been accepted into the Boulder TechStars program. Shane Taylor and Liam Davis-Mead from ScriptPadRX, a mobile ePrescription company. They are two really smart guys with a very interesting product, and a wide open market to capitalize on. Please help me in congratulating them when you see them at MoMoCo or around town!

Finally, the June 14th meeting agenda is just about finalized and we will post it very shortly. The topic will be focused on the “Mobile Enterprise”. With the majority of workers in North America being away from their office more than half of the work day, this market has significant promise to grow quickly. I hope to see you all there for what is sure to be some great presentations and conversation!

Cheers!
