Interesting Startups at StartupMonthly

San Francisco remains the main destination for startups, so there are a lot of events held which help bring the startup community together, one of them was the StartupMonthly Party which took place at One Ferry Plaza on October 19th. The venue was pretty big and filled with interesting people, such as entrepreneurs, investors and professionals with interesting startup ideas, which I will review in this article.

When arriving I was surprised how casual everyone was, very approachable and communicative, so talking to people there did not feel awkward. People were professional, yet not too corporate, which made it actually interesting and informative, some were even showing off their moves on the dance floor, but that is a different story.

Proving that getting dressed up and getting out to meet new people is definitely not going out of style, the Startup Socials Party on October 19th  was the largest gathering yet of the bright, beautiful, and business-minded startup communities gathered together by the Startup Monthly Team and co-hosts including SFFAMA and Fashion+TechSF. The crowd, at once cosmopolitan and cool as well as confident, fun and boisterous, enjoyed panoramic views of the nighttime Bay Bridge and San Francisco’s stunning waterfront from the popular outside patio and killer musical curation by a trio of DJs including Adrenalin Room and SNR Music. The dance floor was never empty and always full of surprises while the three-story venue provided plenty of space to meet, mingle and survey the scene.

A great feature of the night was the large meeting space chock full of demo tables by a full spectrum of interesting startups across many industries. Here are a few of my favorites – Goodwillion, SFFAMA was part of the launch festivities for this social good platform that really takes its cues from current economics and allows anyone to auction their time in a manner of their own choosing to support worthy charitable and nonprofit causes; Planwise, free objective financial decision software tools aimed at the fixed income and middle income demographic that simplifies the analytical process and calculations for common investments and purchases such as tuition, homes, and cars with the aim of saving people money; Ducksboard, for those of us interested in dashboards and analytics and tired of chasing down individual metrics. Ducksboard changes metrics into intelligence with real-time KPI visualization from over 30+ services in one elegant dashboard and promises more additions specifically for the blogging world. We were also pleased to discover their no-cost program specifically for nonprofits so we are going long on Ducksboard, Barcelona where they started, and San Francisco where they set up office!

  • By the way, don’t forget to vote YES on Proposition E and support new business, new jobs and the startup creation in San Francisco.

The Google+ Team with Andrea Ruiz and Zach Cowan was back with Fashion+TechSF for a workshop at Pigment Cosmetics on October 18th. This Google+ workshop covered setup, circles, navigation, profiles and pages, and the surprisingly nuanced functionality currently available, but primarily focused on engagement process and strategies such as Google+ Hangouts and Hangouts On Air. Described as “Skype on steroids,” Google+ Hangouts allow for up to ten individuals to meet online, video conference, share and work on group documents and projects, and bring new fun and functionality to distributed environments for work, business, and for educational activities of all kinds. SFFAMA and Fashion+TechSF will be implementing Google+ features such as Hangouts to expand our future educational and development service offerings. Google+ Hangouts On Air have risen to prominence lately in the political arena with both the DNC and RNC embracing the open community and town-hall aspects of the Hangouts On Air platform to maximize audience engagement.

What makes Google+ different? Google+ is not just a single social networking site, but rather a social “layer” that covers many Google online properties. For those of us concerned with content, industry networking, and broader audience engagement, the benefits of Google+ platform integration with Google Search, Gmail and numerous other online properties are really rather exceptional. Since launching late last year, Google+ has accumulated 250 million users with 150 million active monthly users and 75 million active daily users. Most Google+ users access using mobile accounts. 425 million registered Gmail accounts are equivalent to nearly a fifth of the total number of global internet users. Google Search accounts for 67% of all US searches. Google also boasts five million businesses using its Google Apps service, as well as 66 of the top 100 universities in the US, and government institutions in 45 of the 50 US states, also using its cloud-hosted tools.
