Tech Startups: Launch in Silicon Alley for $198, NOW!
By DONNA BOGATIN • May 26th, 2008 • Category: STARTUP PITCHESAt PodcampNYC last month, dozens of Silicon Alley technology entrepreneurs were inspired to just “startup”: I shared bootstrap techniques with my fellow NYC tech innovators in a StartupAlpha.com seminar on entrepreneurial Self-Financing Strategies & Tactics for new venture launches.
Next week, I am hosting a StartupAlpha.com Bootstrap Lunch Picnic in the Park in the heart of the Big Apple, in celebration of Internet Week NY: “How to Launch Your Tech Startup for $198”
This Memorial Day holiday, Jason Calacanis, of $20 million VC backed Mahalo celebrity, congratulates partner Michael Arrington’s co-owned, and Loic Le Meur founded, $6 million venture funded Seesmic because he says it’s really ”all about starting.”
While the Mahalo CEO hails metaphorically “it’s not where you start“ that matters, though, Calacanis, Arrington and LeMeur suggest there is now ONLY one technology place in the world really worth “starting” in: Silicon Valley.
Just DON’T start anywhere BUT Silicon Valley, between September 8-10, that is, Calacanis and Arrington rally on behalf of their own touted “free,“ but for big profit, days of their self-declared competitor Chris Shipley’s DEMO killing TechCrunch50.
Calacanis implores tech startups, and Venture Capitalists, to NOT STARTUP, at DEMO:
FRIENDS DON’T LET FRIENDS DEMO AT DEMO!
Savvy tech entrepreneurs hailing from any of our 50 states: DON’T WAIT for the Silicon Valley Fall power plays to play out, however. DO JUST ”STARTUP“
New ventures ought not subject their company launch schedules to the exclusive, by-invitation only, business calendars of Arrington, Calacanis OR Shipley…LAUNCH IN SILICON ALLEY for $198, NOW: RSVP!

`quick fact check: Mahalo and I are based in Santa Monica, not the Valley. I’ve never suggested that the Valley is the only place to start… you might remember this magazine I started in 1996…
