    Nicely done Robert & crew. Best BDNT I've attended so far. Excitement from the presenters, the A/C was working, no AV disasters - you've set the bar plenty high. BDNT is still great even when all these factors aren't present.

Who attended?

  • 395 attendees
    •  Hooray for working air conditioning! Dan Bricklin was a nice addition, too. 
    •  freakin awesome, nice job guys! Loved all the projects! Very inspiring. 
    •  It is an excellent way to get involved, keep in touch and learn about a lot of exciting things that are happening in the area. This session started late but had a tremendous set of presenters who are doing some incredible things. 
    • Matt Richards (+1 guest)
       Really enjoyed hearing Dan Bricklin. Other presentations were very good. 
    •  One of the best, if not the best, set of presentations so far. 
    •  Fun! Met some fun people, and enjoyed Dan Bricklin. It was a bit longer than usual, but all the presenters were great and it moved along at a really good clip! Well done Robert! (yay for air conditioning) 
    •  This was the first that I attended & was wowed by what was presented. 
    • Shane Taylor (+1 guest)
       Since I am not located in Boulder (though moving there soon), it was great to finally put some faces with the people and teams that our business has been interacting with. Robert does a great job with this Meetup and he as well as Brad Feld, Brad Bernthal, David Cohen, and many others have made the Boulder community a great place for new businesses to flourish. This was my first meetup and I couldn't have been more impressed with the format as well as the TechStars pitches. TechStars has definitely groomed some amazing companies and their pitches were very polished and well delivered. Well done. 
    •  Excellent atmosphere, excellent ideas, great presentations. 
    •  Robert and his team hit a home run tonight. There were a ton of presenters, the timing of each was good and the quality of each was definitely improved. Also, there were an interesting variety of presenters, all the from the inventor of VisiCalc to getting comic books on-line. Excellent job! 
    •  Thanks so much for NOT enforcing the 10 minute limit on Dan Bricklin!...and know what? the original problem that VisiCalc was trying to solve - how to do something like a Harvard Business School case study with lots of freeform text and data and formulas that don't always fit into repeating rows - is still way too difficult to do in a WORD document or PDF.. possible but certainly not easy... 
    • Frank (+1 guest)
       Take Comics and Next Big Sound are awesome concepts that both look like they are on their way to fantastic execution. Where was the DJ? 
    •  Twitter stream was fun, but the font size was way to small to read from the back of the room. 
    •  It was my first time and I was very impressed with the presentations, questions, openness and energy. The room with the food was not manageable--too small, too packed, too bunched in one corner, impossible to mingle. I'll come again. 
    •  Long but GREAT, both nostalgic and the TS companies rocked the house! 
    • William Adkins (+1 guest)
       Great night, maybe one of the best newtechs ever. It shows how good a presentation can be when you have the pitch nailed well. Any way to start staging newtech companies so they get the same pitch coaching for their upcoming newtech presentation? It really made the night more valuable! 
    •  The Best one I've been to Yet!! 
    •  great. most of the presenters were great. seeing Dan Bricklin in person was my favorite aspect, as he's one of my personal idols for Visicalc, and a sort of hybrid programmer/entrepreneur. 
    •  First Visit, 1st: I really commend Robert in how he has set up and managed the group. 2nd: hats off to all of the presenters. Everyone was prepared and well organized. 3rd: I was impressed by the software presence and humbled by the lack of mechanical. Made a few contacts :-) JeffS@Sketch2Design.net 
    •  I arrived at 6 and seemed to have missed the networking part. I didn't realize I have to be there at 5 to network. 
    •  Excellent! Very impressed with the techstar teams. 
    •  what an amazing event, excellent presentations and great networking
