Last night’s MatchUp Camp was by all accounts a success. The room was packed, there was plenty of interesting people to meet and deals to make.
I thought the open structure worked very well. The multi-colored name tags were also a nice touch. On the other hand, there seemed to be a lot of folks there with great ideas but no idea how to implement them. I’m not talking about technology but about basic marketing, identifying and retaining customers and making money. Of course that’s nothing new. The other observation was that the gathering was very heavily skewed male to female. Like 90/10 men to women. As the father of two girls who take to computers like fish to water, I hope there’s a brighter future for women in technology and business than seemed reflected last night.
You can read Allen Stern’s write up here and Michael Galpert’s here. The rest of my photos are here. Kudos to Charlie, Eran, etc., etc. for a great event.
