isocket has just joined us as our first demoist for our Sept. 15 event. Welcome, guys!

isocket makes buying and selling premium banner ads a breeze. As the web’s first commission-free ad platform, we take the pain out of self-service campaigns and direct sales. isocket powers ad sales for some of the web’s top blogs, including TechCrunch and the Cheezburger Network.

The problem: trying to sell your own web ads to buyers is a painful, manual process. You have to package your inventory, promote it, email back and forth with potential buyers, generate invoices, schedule ad servers, send metrics reports, and on and on. isocket takes care of the painful parts and lets you focus on building relationships and your website. And the best part? We’re commission-free, so you keep more of what you earn!

We’re proud to welcome in ZeroCater as our newest sponsor. ZeroCater manages meal-catering services, with a particular focus on serving Bay Area startups. They manage all the tedious aspects of catering an office: paying the bills, scheduling delivery, accommodating Bob’s gluten-free allergy, and so on.

ZeroCater is the brainchild of Arram Sabeti. While working at Justin.tv, he was responsible for managing the catering for the office. The process took up so much of his time that he knew there had to be a better way. Thus, ZeroCater was born, and now counts Justin.tv among their fast-growing list of clients.

ZeroCater will be providing us with food for our next event, in what is decidedly the tastiest sponsorship in our four-year history.

Holy A-Round, Batman! SF Beta celebrates four full years of awesomeness this September. Join us for an epic evening as we move on to Year 5.

Our demo theme is Unconventional Advertising. We’re looking for companies that are redefining advertising, creating new, novel, and innovative ways of capturing interest and attention. Stay tuned for a list of who’s joining us — the results may surprise you.

Register for SF Beta on Wednesday, September 15.

Thank you to everyone who came out last week to our most successful SF Beta in history! With over 550 people registered, we beat our previous registration record by almost 100 people. The last time we had a room so packed, Powerset (remember them?) used our event to show the first public glimpse of their site.

As your organizer, I was both humbled and exhilarated to see so many people attend. In addition to the capacity crowd, we had ten startups demo, two drink companies promote their tasty beverages (thanks, Honest Tea and Magner’s!), and GoGrid was with us, as always, introducing people to their stellar cloud hosting services.

SF Beta makes enough money to pay my bills, but it’s first and foremost a labor of love, and nights like the last one make all the hard work worth it.

Thanks again, and see you next time!

We’re pleased to announce a big group of demoists for our event next week. Here’s a list of everyone who’s confirmed so far:
