Launch Party alluded to in LA Times

LA Tech Scene Heats Up

LA Times Logo

"A popular event is Twiist-Up, which was created by a Silicon Valley resident who was interested in Los Angeles tech companies. The events are basically big parties where start-ups get a lot of attention, said Twiist-Up creator Mike Macadaan, who works for AOL. Techies in Vancouver, Canada, recently replicated the event there."

This is great exposure for our friends at Twiistup . We love those guys , and after our last Launch Party on Dec 5th, most of Vancouver does too. And it's not because they flew up here and gave away Van Halen T-Shirts to everyone, who chose to come to Launch Party instead of the concert. They're actually really cool guys who understand the web, and know how to have a good time. But, let the record show that Maura , Dimitri and I had the Launch Party concept before we knew about Twiistup. Had to say that.... :-) Great minds think alike!!

 

Blogger Relations in the Local Tech Community

Posted Fri, 11/09/2007 - 7:26pm

Vancouver bloggers, the folks at Launch Party want to hear from you. In today's new media world, exposure and recognition from bloggers can do wonders for the visibility of tech startups.

Since the spirit of Launch Party is in bringing all members of the tech community together, we want to hear from local bloggers to help answer the question: What is the best way for companies to contact you in the hopes of getting a mention or review? What kinds of tactics have worked in the past, and what are the specific, stomach-turning "no-nos?"

As Launch Party continues on its mission of bringing everyone together; from VCs to entrepreneurs to bloggers and tech company employees, it would great to hear what channels and methods are best for helping those connections happen, long after the face-to-face networking at the events. Feel free to leave a comment here with your input and suggestions. And thank you for a being a big part of helping let the world know about the many exciting tech companies and products that are homegrown right here in Vancouver.
