SF Beta partners with Virgance!

Published on February 11th, 2009 by cassiph

As you may have seen on TechCrunch, we will be hosting the launch party of Powerset co-founder Steve Newcomb’s new company, Virgance.

A brief summary from the article:
“Virgance focuses on fostering and promoting benevolent, wide-reaching and important campaigns that also stand a good chance to make money. The Virgance engineering team, headed by VP of Engineering Naseem Hakim (who helped build the very popular Facebook app Circle of Friends), is building a platform designed to help promote these campaigns across a number of social platforms. Newcomb describes the platform as “the next iteration of what President Obama did” - leveraging the power of social media to reach the masses. But these campaigns are not simply about raising awareness - they have to let the community somehow interact, and they have to have a solid business model. Depending on the campaign, Virgance gets a portion of the incoming revenues.” 

At our next SF Beta, we’ll be featuring the ventures and adventures of Virgance, with tons of bloggers, press, and investors in attendance.  This is definitely NOT the beta to miss this year.

Finding an Entrepreneurial Valentine.

So I just wrote up a quick post summarizing my advice for men working the tech parties for a date.  This is just written from my personal experience, so feel free to keep your own style and hope for the best.  But hopefully it offers some guidance and assitance for getting that special someone:
