Today I am attending Startup Riot, an event for startups who want to pitch themselves to venture capital and angel investor types. There’s something like 50 startups presenting today, so they each get 3 minutes and 4 slides. It is going to be brutal. Chad and I are here just to watch the bloodbath and do some networking.
UPDATE ABOUT THE VIDEO STREAM: Well, I was broadcasting this event live before lunch, but I was asked to stop by the organizer. (Something about some people still have day jobs, potential SEC trouble, etc. I’m sure i wouldn’t understand…)
UPDATE 2: Here’s the videos i took until my battery died, neatly archived by Justin.tv. I’m linking them here for posterity, but they really aren’t that interesting when they’re not live…
Hey Loren,
It was great meeting you and Charles today. See you around!
Cheers.

First, some were still working day jobs and weren’t ready for people to know about their startups. Second, some were asking for investment and this broadcasting may run afoul of SEC rules. It may not but I’m no lawyer. [...]
