SFNewTech.com: innovators still abound

As could be predicted, there was a somber overtone to last night’s SF New Tech meetup at Mighty. A lot of people are looking for work. The section at the end of the evening, the 60-second spots, had a mix of people announcing they were looking for work and a couple who were indeed hiring.

I did have a good couple of conversations with other entrepreneurs though. Lots of people with ideas that are actually realistic, implementable, and profitable! I spoke with one guy about crowdsourcing QA help, and another guy about his new idea he wants to launch but is just getting started. Then there were some great presentations.
