How Publictivity Is Useful For Your Industry: Public RelationsOctober 17

When we started Publictivity, it was originally an application for the Public Relations industry.  Over time, after listening to valuable feedback and seeing what others had to say, we realized that Publictivity is useful for all companies and a ton of different industries.  We’re going to start posting short 3-4 minute videos showing how Publictivity is useful for different industries.  Here’s the first video for Public Relations:

Why The Enterprise + SaaS Space Needs To Build Companies Like The Consumer SpaceSeptember 29

Auren Hoffman wrote an interesting blog post this morning called “Why Angels Continue To Invest In The Consumer Space“.  The piece is pretty darn accurate, and you can’t deny it.  Sure, SaaS + Enterprise startups are getting angel funding, but nowhere near the rate of the Consumer Space.  I don’t have the stats to back that up, but I do have my nose to the ground when it comes to angel investing + funding trends.  It’s pretty straight forward to me: We need to fundamentally change the way enterprise/SaaS companies are built.  They need to be built like consumer Internet companies.

Why Angel Investing In the Enterprise/SaaS Space Isn’t “Hot”:

• The Products Aren’t As “Exciting”
  When it comes to investing, it’s a lot like showing your new toy or car off.  How often do you think the angel investors of facebook or one of the TechCrunch50 companies brag about their investments?  I’m going to say pretty damn often.  They are cool, they are hip, they are exciting.  They’re also easier to relate to.  Auren invested in Meebo. I’m sure it’s pretty easy to ask “Do you use meebo?”, and then get a yes from a lot of people.  Try that with “Enterprise Software For Human Resources” or something like that.  Quote from

Help Send Us To Startup Camp + Foo CampMay 27

Hey Everyone,

We’ve always believed in an open culture at Publictivity, and trying to get to Foo Camp/ Startup Camp held by O’Reilly Alphatech Ventures is no exception.    A month ago, I dropped my entire life and moved to Silicon Valley, while the rest of our team (by team, I mean 2 other people) stayed in Miami,FL. It’s the American (Geek) Dream, but not an easy one with having to leave behind anyone and everything.  Everyone I already know and continue to meet seems to ask me one question… Why did you move? Was it fundraising?  Was it the “dreamâ€Â?  Was it a change of scenery?  It wasn’t any one of those things specifically, but something a hell of a lot more important: people.  Silicon Valley is endowed with people that will blow your mind.  These people encompass such a wide spectrum that they are other entrepreneurs, potential investors, biz dev partners, like minded hackers, or just intelligent people to talk with about technology until 6 AM.  When you put together all of these amazing people in a geographic area, you start conversations that help spark great ventures such as Apple, HP, YouTube, Facebook, Netscape, and more.  

On July 10-11 at Startup Camp and July 11-13 at Foo Camp, many of th
