If you’re feeling like it’s been a long time since the last Web Innovators Group gathering in Cambridge, you’re right. The series has been on hiatus since the last meeting on April 2. The main reason: organizer David Beisel, a vice president at venture firm Venrock, got married and went honeymooning. (Congratulations, David!)
If you’ve never been to a Web Innovators Group meeting, here’s the scoop: they’re pseudo-monthly meetings where several hundred developers, entrepreneurs, venture investors, public-relations folks, and others gather for brief business presentations from a selection of local, pre-venture-funded Web startups, preceded and followed by lots of informal networking.
In either case—another chance to experience Web Inno is coming up soon. The summer edition will be held on Tuesday, July 15, at the usual time and place—6:30 pm, at the Royal Sonesta hotel in Cambridge, MA.
Beisel just published the list of companies scheduled to share their wares. Here’s a preview:
