TechBoise Recap - 1st Startup Toolkit - SUCCESS

or so we at TechBoise would like to think. If you were not able to attend, don't worry - this is the first of many Startup Toolkits. A big thanks to Red Sky PRfor sponsoring! If you are interested in being a sponsor, please let us know.

We had a great turnout from service providers and TechBoise heard from many that they had a great time meeting with attendees. Speaking of attendees, there were about 75 people in attendance - so no leftovers!

Are you getting prepared to be unreasonable?

Don't forget that we will again be doing "unreasonable requests" at the next TechBoise. Have you come up with one yet? Bring it with you.

"Unreasonable request" was defined in this previous Tech Boise post: http://techboise.com/make-an-unreasonable-request-at-techboise-tonight.

Ignite Boise 2 Tickets Gone

600 tickets gone in 2 1/2 hours! Wahoo! Did you get yours? TechBoise has heard rumors that they will stream the event. As soon as we hear more, we'll let you know.

In the meantime, if you are looking for tickets, you could try sweet talking one of the Sponsors

Startup Toolkit at TechBoise - this Wednesday

TechBoise came across a great quote by Sergey Brin, Co-founder of Google that makes our Startup Toolkit event this Wednesday even more important:

"I know it's kind of a romantic notion that you're just going to have this one brilliant idea and then everything is going to be great. But the fact is that coming up with an idea is the least important part of creating something great."

TechBoise can't come up with an idea for you.

At this rate, tickets won't last - Ignite Boise 2 tickets available today!

TechBoise urges you to get your tickets to Ignite Boise 2 today. The tickets were made available this morning at 9:00 am. The first 100 were gone in a minute! That's right, folks - 60 seconds.

Update: the first 300 tickets were gone in 30 minutes. TechBoise will let you do the math. Better not delay getting your tickets any longer.....

Get yours at Ignite Boise.

We'll see you at the Egyptian Theater on July 16th.

Girls in Tech Launched

Sorry, you missed it!

Boise's inaugural Girls in Tech event had 17 tech girls in attendance - 12 more than the inaugural event in LA. That's right - for all you math haters out there - little old Boise showed up the big LA. Boise should be even more proud, since we learned last night that the Founder of Girls in Tech wasn't sure that there was tech in Boise - let alone girls in tech. So there.

Calling all girls

Thursday Boise launches it's chapter of Girls in Tech. TechBoise is excited for this inaugural event as other chapters have joined in on the Geeks on a Plane tour that took in parts of Asia. What a way to network!

More information and RSVP here.

We hope to see you at 7:00pm at the WaterCooler.
