At the GoodCompany Ventures kick-off, I had the pleasure of meeting Michael Nutter, Mayor of Philadelphia, who is smart, funny, and eager to help the Good Ventures companies succeed.
And, CalendarFly was selected as one of 60 companies provided a free booth at this year's NYC Internet Week Showcase. Katie and I spent four hours presenting CalendarFly to over 50 people, had a great time and have already have some follow up business interest.
Probably due to this great exposure, CalendarFly has been mentioned a few times in some great places around the internet - check out these shout-outs:
Meantime, we're working on further improvements - more to follow.
