    I thought it was an open bar before the event. The lack of free wifi was also a turnoff, but for an event this size it went well.

    Impressive turn-out. I think Webster Hall is a better venue, though: much easier to network. Something about the lighting (and the drinks) seems to support social flow.

    Great forum to learn about other companies and network. Interested in seeing how the regular gatherings are in what I heard to be a smaller setting.

    Was a good show but as is with such large groups it is not easily possible to network.

    Really thought-provoking and educational. Yaron, you do a great job of emceeing and keepigng things fun and funny too. The American Idol format was good - it's helpful to hear from the VCs. Only critique is that when the presenter mics have a lot of reverb (beginning with Magnify's presentation and through to the end), it's really unbearable and should be dealt with right away. Audience member mics also were problematic and it would be more seamless event if that problem could be nipped in the bud.

    Liked the idea of the "Startup Idol" and the SMS voting. Yaron - always a great job!

    I with it had started on time because there was a full schedule and I had to leave early. I understand that the organizers want to wait until there is a critical mass but I have a tightly scheduled life and I set aside this time for the presentations and Q&A. Since none of the presenters stayed to their 5 minute time limit, it's even more important to start on time.

    Well organized and interesting presentations. Looking forward to the next meet up @ Webster Hall.

    It was great. Webster hall w/ drinks BEFORE the event was much better for social networking.

    Well done. Yaron is a funny albeit slightly edgy facilitator, and pulled together some VCs to give feedback to the startups at the event.
  • Edwin Rogers
    The most impressive web video event. I was blow away by the entire experience.

    Limited networking, very little time spent talking about ideas
  • Lisa Gelobter

    I think Yaron did a great job (as usual), but I also really liked the addition of the VCs and the voting. It added a really fun and interesting dimension to the Meetup. Thanks!

    Very informative and eye opening; I love the open format.
  • Barbara Hunter
    I thought the meeting was great, I just wish the presenter part ended a little earlier. The American Idol bit was pretty funny.
