Okay folks, the time has come to open up registration for Startup Riot which will be on February 18, 2009. We’re going to try to make the event bigger and more awesome than last time. If you remember, last year we had 54 companies presenting 3-minutes apiece, over 270 attendees, and one fantastic after-party.
For 2009, we’re shooting for 70 presenting companies and we’re capping attendance at somewhere between 300 and 350 people. Also note that last year we had over 90 applications to present and over 330 applications to attend. Clearly, we had to say no to a bunch of applications in both groups.
So if you’re interested in attending, I urge you to apply early to attend or present as appropriate. Preference will be given to those who get their applications in early.
A 3.6 Month Break For Me

According to a survey done by Challenger, Gray & Christmas, it looks like I’m about to start a 3.6 month long break from working. Guess I’ll have to find something to occupy myself with. Of course the snippet from Inc. that I read this on doesn’t provide any statistics about sample size, etc. So this could be a sample of a few dozen people in which case the results are pretty meaningless.
I don’t actually think I’ll be hanging around for 3.6 months. In fact, I think I’ll probably have something within a week or two. Then the question will be - is it something I’ll want to do?
