Hey Everyone,
So it's been a while since I posted. But I just went to my first networking event on my own. Meaning I didn't work for a company who either sponsored or required me to go. It was great being in a room with so many people going through the same things the CrowdRage team is. The event was a Lean Startup DC meetup, which featured presentations by two companies and feedback from industry experts. It was interesting to meet people both ahead of where we are and behind us and how they are dealing with issues that are seemingly unique but actually fairly uniform in most startups. Just talking to people about CrowdRage, and fielding questions is great experience for me. I met a friend of a friend for the first time. It was great to get to know her, she is a lively and smart with a great personality, Rebecca Thorman is head of PR for Alice.com.
All and all it seemed that there were far too many people and too little time, I'm looking forward to the next event!
