NY Feedback Forum Recap
Tonight I had the pleasure of attending the NY Feedback Forum. The idea is simple. Each month a company brings their product to the group and is seeking help with their app. From marketing to technical aspects to communication to business plans, no topic is out of bounds.
Right Media (part of Yahoo) hosted the forum and around 15 people attended. The group was quite diverse with a variety of developers, marketers, and entrepreneurs. I have decided not to link to any as many of the attendees are working on stealth startups.
The product tonight is called BricaBox. Again, I can't share many details but it's a new publishing platform and will be launching in a "user" mode in the next week or so. I hope to have a full review once they are ready. I think the founders Kyle Bragger and Nate Westheimer received a large quantity of good advice and the group raised some excellent thought-provoking points.
My only gripe is that they collected $5 from each attendee for 2 pizzas. If a startup receives easily thousands of dollars worth of free consulting, they should spring for the pies.
The NY Feedback Forum is a great idea and I look forward to participating in future events.

I would love to use this kind of thing to get good feedback when ready. How is it organized? How could I participate, either as a presenter or in the audience.
Allen,
As an early stage investor in the area, I am interested in attending the NY Feedback Forum, but I have not been able to locate a URL or calendar for the event. Thanks for digging up.

Also, we run a "shadow-network" on collectiveX, mostly nextNY folks but also others from the NYC community of entrepreneurs. It's *very* quiet but feel free to check it out.
