Pokin' Holes – Ep25 – INeedAPencil

Cort — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 16:07:30 +0000

We had a lot of fun last night at The Lansdowne. Before we kicked off Pokin’ Holes, Jake announced the new web-show/Dart event called Capitalize. If you want to learn more about it check out the site… http://capitalize.dartboston.com.

As always the Dart community came out in force last night and I want to thank everyone who came out to support. Jason Shah pitched his company, INeedAPencil and I thought our panel and the community offered some good ideas.

Check out the show below…

Our panel included:

Morgan First: travel obsessed, adventure loving entrepreneur @thesecondglass

Jarrett Sloan: Boston based bike riding , coffee drinking, beer enjoying, PC hating , Alfresco using, tech loving web enthusiast.

Ben Margolis: Web developer, entrepreneur, urbanist, saxophonist, and meliorist

Listen to Jason’s pitch of INeedAPencil…

Listen to the audio above or watch the live taping below!

Another great turnout for Pokin’ Holes with Winbread. I want to thank Ben for pitching his company and Justin, Alexa and Nick for sitting on the panel.

We certainly harped a lot on the business model and value proposition of the company. What do you think the next action items should be for Ben?

Pokin' Holes – Wrap Party

We are staying true to our Dart roots this week and somersaulting back across the street to Clery’s for Thursday’s show with WinBread. What can I say, we love Marni and the rest of the Clery’s staff!

Grab yourself a free ticket…

If you don’t know where Clery’s is because you either weren’t able to make it to last week’s show or have never been to Clery’s fantastic Trivia night on Wednesdays, take the Orange line to Back Bay, exit to Dartmouth Street, turn left and it will be on the corner of Dartmouth and Columbus.

113 Dartmouth St
Boston, MA 02116

The event is this Thursday July 30 starting at 6:45PM. We will kick off the night with a Q&A with Ben and his company WinBread. The show will start at 7:45pm and no one will be allowed in after that time until it is over. So make sure you are on time!!!

Don’t worry, there will be a full bar at our disposal for everyone to vent their Thursday frustrations. If we have as much energy as we did last week, expect to stick around after the show for more cocktails and conversation.

We hope to see you all there!
