SF Hardware Startup Meetup Feb 25th, 6pm - Sponsored by ShipWire

Hey Hardwarians!

It's time for our next meetup on Feb. 25! This month's sponsor is Shipwire (http://shipwire.com/) - they help hardware startups with order fulfillment services and cloud-based logistics from their warehouses around the world. They'll be there to give you the low-down on how to end the hassles of shipping and storage.

• Where: This meetup is hosted at Runway Incubator at 1355 Market St., San Francisco, CA 94158, San Francisco, CA.

• Demos

The event is centered around 2 minute lightning demos. The idea is that we get the first look at all the latest hardware companies in the area, and then we get to talk with them after! If you've got something new to demo - we want you! Put your name on the Sign-up Sheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvKBkB2iZuisdGRKMFF4TGo5bUNXVGI5Wkl0T1dZU3c&usp=drive_web#gid=32) and you're in! How it Works: No slides, no projector, etc. - Just you, your prototype and a microphone for 2 minutes! Show up at 6pm sharp so you can secure your spot!

• Announcements
  Marc Roth's "The Learning Shelter" Kickstarter (http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-learning-shelter) - I don't usually post crowdfunding campaigns here, but Marc's story (homeless -> hardware founder) is truly inspiring, and he's trying to make a homeless shelter/hackerspace for the Bay Area. I figure a lot of you might want to donate to the cause.
