- Last Call for Labs (Foodspotting Proves It Can Work)
This Saturday marks the last day to apply for the pre-incubator Labs program through Women 2.0, but fear not: men and women can still qualify for the five week program for engineers, designers, and “business and marketing mavens” looking to start developing high-growth technology ventures in SF. Labs doesn’t require company equity or require that [...]
- In Conversation with Slideshare’s Rashmi Sinha
I speak for production company VidSF and myself when I say it was a pleasure to talk with Slideshare co-founder Rashmi Sinha at the company’s SoMa office recently about her early visions for the site and her career. The interview, which addresses her advice for people considering leaving their jobs to start a new endeavor, [...]
- SFMADE on Branding Local Products
You may hear “California public benefit corporation,” but what local group SFMADE actually advocates for is local manufacturing that makes good economic sense. Enter an event series that includes manufacturing best practices and marketing tips for companies with local roots. This Thursday, Rickshaw Bags founder and former Timbuk2 head Mark Dwight will speak in the [...]
- Exploring Urban Futures at GAFFTA
Starting tonight at 6 Pacific time, the Gray Area Foundation for the Arts will be presenting a second set of SENSEable Cities talks in conjunction with the digital art space’s partnership with MIT. After yesterday’s “New York Talk Exchange” visualization, I’m upset to miss these two talks tonight especially: Trash Track foreshadows the internet of [...]
- Welcome Hue Amour
When designer Chris Olson packed her bags to head to Florida, I was sad because–among many other things–few people can brighten up a studio apartment the way she can. Thankfully she’s opened Hue Amour, a color consultation and decorating biz to spread the interior joy. Have a look–you’ll like.

In advance of its October conference around financial opportunities for enterprise organizations, SoCap (social capital markets “at the intersection of money and meaning”) is co-sponsoring a challenge to address what’s next for impact investment. In collaboration with the sustainably-minded business company Triple Pundit and the Myoo platform, the conference will be awarding a free pass [...]
- TechCrunch TV on Entrepreneurship at Pier 38
The Women 2.0 Labs pre-incubator program (featured here on TechCrunch TV) has been a great example of all that a new endeavor can accomplish in five weeks. Looking forward to seeing the companies’ final pitches this evening thanks to True Ventures.
- The Causemopolitan >> A Do Good Summer Reading List
hen Sloane Berrent of the cause-filled living site The Causemopolitan invited me to take part in her summer contributor series, I was excited to be involved and start penning a favorite reads wrapup. And in celebration of the overturning of Prop. 8, I had to include a colorful Daily Drop Cap courtesy of designer Jessica [...]
- Kiva Social at New SOMA HUB
Ah, Thursday. I’m glad that the newly opened HUB SoMa community and co-working space will be making almost-the-weekend better with tonight’s Kiva Social. If it’s anything like last year’s HUB Berkeley party for Kiva’s anniversary–as in good food, music and lots of smart folks–those who find themselves at the Chronicle Building starting at 6:30 are [...]
- The OpEd Project Returns to SF
It comes as no surprise that opinion journalism seems troubled on the financial front (with fewer dollars for newspapers meaning less space for community editorial), but a lack of diversity of the part of those who author them largely goes unspoken. If the OpEd Project gets its way, however, women will start to contribute dramatically [...]
