    •  Fun, but needs a space to collaborate/talk like the Boulder location. 
    •  Three interesting companies were presenting. Travelfli was most on target for me based on my 15+ years of read warrior travel. I would suggest that you emphasize the need for the presenters to use the microphone. The room at Tivoli is large and without the audio help, it is tough to hear.

       This particular Meetup presents some of the most interesting technology developments and business ventures in Colorado. The format is terrific and the fact that the Boulder and Denver Meetups have different line-ups is great. I really liked the TravelFli and WYSIPS presentations. I am a little lost on the profitability model or purpose of the pitch form the Tuggl guys. I did appreciate the idea behind Tuggl but I wish their pitch conveyed more purpose than simply "here is our story." I do think that all presenters should remember to not forget their pitch and get across what they are looking for. 
    •  I thought the speakers use of the microphone was terrible in both presentation AND Q&A. Where was the food? I thought the lack of a microphone for audience presentments or Q's was needed and lacking. Where was the food? Parking was easy. But was there a special area BDNT should be parking for FREE or less cost? What happened with the food? Sponsor? Ikes! 
    •  small crowd and a thin program for this one -- not sure this particular meeting was worth the travel time to get there.

       Too brief a meeting with only 3 presentations this time. 
    •  Presenters showed products meeting concrete, fairly well defined needs. They seemed realistic about what was needed to get them to the next step, had defined their markets. 
    •  Food! It was a little hard to hear in that big room. I think it was more interesting from a business perspective than a techie perspective.

       Under-attended this time, with two cancellations. Disappointing, but still a great idea. Thanks Robert!

       At the Boulder meetup I've never had any difficulty hearing people -- people who weren't at the microphone could just project enough to be heard in the whole room. Between the concrete and the AC noise it was very hard to hear what was going on in Turnhalle. It's also a bummer to have to pay for parking; in Boulder I have to walk a ways from free parking, but it is a walkable distance. Other than that, the only sadness was the turnout, which I trust will improve over time.
