A big thank you to Wowrack for sponsoring us with a virtual server. I’ve learned about Wowrack at the Startup Weekend a while back, when they provided each interested team with a free virtual machine. Since then, they have been hugely helpful with my previous startup (JoVE) eventually becoming our primary hosting provider for the primary web site as well as a lot of our internal systems.

We are now sponsored by Pipedrive for our CRM.
We’ve looked at several solutions. I’ve built a CRM for my last company, but that was a custom-tailored solution that gradually evolved and needed to integrate with other data. I’ve also used Highrise and Salesforce before.
We’ve been selected to do a 2-minute pitch at the Investor Feedback Forum and Pitch Showdown hosted by Ultra Light Startups Boston. Please feel free to drop by, check us out.

We have been accepted into the Harvard Innovation Lab (i-lab) as a long term resident for the spring 2012 semester. Smack in the middle of the Harvard Business School, we are going to be working alongside about 55 other start-ups, so this is pretty exciting, although I still hope to drop by the CIC on a regular basis, who have been a tremendous resource thus far.
