Yup! We just heard this afternoon that we’ll have a 1 minute demo slot at next week’s NY Tech Meetup. This is huge news, as it will be largest NYTM ever and NYU will be filled with 850 NYC techies. It’s a perfect combination of elements to launch our much anticipated Fare/Share iPhone app.
Sure, we would have liked to have 5 minutes to really dig into the app and show off the bells and whistles, but hey, something is better than nothing. We’re going to craft a quick demo that shows just the couple of primary screens a rider will immediately encounter. We want to underscore how just a 2 second investment of time - a “check out” to a destination neighborhood - is all it takes. If you match with someone, awesome! If not, no harm done. The app is obviously really fun to use when there are matches available, so we’re hoping our iPhone launch will get riders excited, especially as they leave the NYTM event.
We submitted the app a few days ago and are keeping our fingers crossed it is accepted by the Apple gatekeepers shortly.
This will be my second time on stage. My first NYTM demo was for VocabSushi last July and it was a blast.
So be sure to buy a ticket now as this event is already selling out.
On Tuesday, June 8th, 850 of your fellow technologists will be at NYU Skirball Center for an extra special Meetup:
Not only will this be our first event held at the beautiful NYU Skirball Center for the Performing Arts, the June Meetupis slated to be the biggest event held during Internet Week — and the biggest NY Tech Meetup we’ve held to date! Wow :-)
So go RSVP now, before it sells out:

What will the evening hold? We’ll have an action packed series of demos: from the likes of Perpetually, Thumbplay, Tynt, Meetup.com,Forrst, Fare/Share, and more!
Seriously, it’s going to be a totally rad event at a totally rad new venue with a totally rad group of people in attendance. You must be there!
The NYTM is produced in partnership with the NYU Stern Berkley Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation. Also, thanks as always to our sponsors, DFJ Gotham and Wilson Sonsini who help make NYTM possible (with your support too!).
