9 Aug 2008 Mashable SummerMash NYC

So yesterday we went and saw how things are in the NYC tech scene with SocialMediaCampNewYork (see #smcampnyc on Twitter and the other social networks) and SummerMash NYC, organized by the folks at Mashable. There were many, many, many enterpreneurs and their ventures, a lot of consultants, some bloggers, a few journalist and only a couple of VCs at both events, where people just enjoyed their summer time and networked like the party would never stop. Among the many, I met the guys at TripWolf, who run another travel start-up that now entered the public beta stage, and Federico, an Italian entepreneur based in New York who started Roomorama, a NYC-based service to find and post temporary and stable sublets of rooms, apartments and houses, who we are now going to visit while we’re in New York to talk business.

All in all it was a lot of fun, and a lot of good contacts both personal- and business-wise: thanks Mashable, the SocialMediaCampNewYork organizers, and all the sponsors that helped making this happen!
