Formally Introducing Start Philly
November 17, 2009
I’m proud to formally announce Start Philly as a side project that I am working on with a growing list of regular contributors. We were interested in augmenting the existing Philly start-up scene and decided to create a destination where the local entrepreneurial community could contribute, network and share thoughts. This will be an ongoing project that we hope will continue to grow and generate buzz. So far the response has been tremendous and I’d like to thank those of you that were involved during the preview process. The viral nature of these types of things is what we’re going for so please feel free to spread the word as we continue to develop this online community.
Welcome announcement from www.startphilly.com:
Philadelphia is a spirited and vibrant city full of culture, nightlife, sports and fine dining. Besides being the home of the former World Series champs and situated strategically between NYC and D.C., it boasts a booming tech community and an invigorated entrepreneurial drive. We love this city and the opportunity that it presents to its current and future startups.
Having been involved in and with local startups for more than a decade, we saw an opportunity to establish a regional online presence to highlight our thoughts, experiences and opinions. We are leaders, technologists, marketers, creative thinkers and above all, startup people. We get it done, no matter what, no matter when. We also value those who share our drive and ambition. This will be our/their forum.
Start Philly is about startups in and about Philadelphia. Getting them built, getting them staffed, getting them supported, getting them optimized, growing them and then some.
We look forward to your commentary and hope that you find Start Philly valuable while we continue to promote the entrepreneurial spirit of this great city.
