The reason... hacks are fun way to flex your tech muscles but I had been commenting on how many great ideas, that could help society were left abandoned... such a shame! Then I came across this venture beat article and Alex's comment ... see my response below. </p><p>But I really eliev that a great team shoul include back end developers, Front end developers, Individuals who know the niche , a professional Business consultant/ and or a brand consultant! </p><p>And along the way everyone should be asking "where's the money at?" , since the revenue model will ultimately shape the business model and the tech development! </p><p>comment <br />I'm going tomorrow but PRAYING this Hack is about developing solutions! The reason Most hacks do NOT go further is that while many hackers may "know the difference between binary, base64, and JSON, and can make AJAX calls" they do not know the sector they are hacking in this case "sales", and bringing Sales online is about more than product organization and a cash register! Many never have had any experience selling! But Hackers are "Artist" of code and like most artist are Not really interested in the day to day running of a business so their winning hacks are left abandoned... check the hacks from MusicHack Day, Photohack day and videohack days in NY. Secondly even though the ideas may be great and the hackers may mean well on the day of the hack, however there is no post event structure to see potentially great hacks develop... We won Best Use of An ApI at Fashion Hack Day NY with an idea I know stylist can use, Good luck trying getting the members of an adhock team to communicate after a week! I'm attending tomorrows hack... I know selling and sales in my niche: businesses need ecommerce solutions that work, I've tested several ideas around ecommerce in the field yet... hacks are about coding and successful business needs more than good code!</p></div></div>Bonnie Sandy - @BadasseBS -The Early Days Of Blogginghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07045235661418028440noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12845257.post-37563281865502195052012-08-03T20:16:00.001-04:002012-08-03T20:16:51.043-04:00Designer artist Melissa Lockwood @iqtestnyc invites you to #BEYOU the encouragement of individuality, self-expression and freedom.<div class='posterous_autopost'><p><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;">We're looking for outgoing, charismatic people who are confident to express themselves in front of camera. </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;">You will appear in an art project/music video.

I am reminded of my fashion design process! I Have to make tech SEXY!<p />I use several design techniques but eventually before they hit the shelf they must be redesigned from an art perspective to a consumer product focus! I usually use the educate, Investigate, brainstorm leave to simmer then design from "inspiration".

By proving space, pools of resources and making them accessible, we can jump-start these businesses. We first conceptualized an “irrigation” system that would funnel resources to urban tech start-ups, as well as an incubator with relevant mentorship, training and support. Founders also noted that we we would not only need an incubator and an accelerator but we would have to develop a “hatchery” and started brainstorming the challenge of fostering new ideas. The fact is fact we need to create a pollination and fertilization process before we can incubate... Distribution needed to be supported by offline and online venues connected and integrated seamlessly across digital platforms and so the Tuberiam was designed. We opted for the co-working model. </span><p /><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Calibri; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline;">in order to fulfill the small business needs, Tibiae Tech has to create the resources/ thus experts in each discipline are coming together to provide their expertise and creating a culturally sensitive programing and resource solutions. That introduces new concepts in Business as well as new and elerging technologies ad encorages exploration ad testing theories through to concept and product development! the challeng e of support staff ad their technical training will also be addressed! </span><p /><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Calibri; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline;">To facilitate this a comprehensive funding and financing protocol will be put in place! Tibia Tech believes that a comprehensive approach will create the necessary traction needed to push ahead. </span><p /><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Calibri; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline;">Tibia Tech July 1st we begin p[rparing the core members with a soft launch with a target date of September for a permanent location</span><br /><a href="http://www.tibiaetech.com/"><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Calibri; color: #1155cc; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline;">www.tibiaetech.com</span></a></strong> </span></span></strong></p> <p> </p></div>Bonnie Sandy - @BadasseBS -The Early Days Of Blogginghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07045235661418028440noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12845257.post-91974407413246059702012-07-24T20:14:00.001-04:002012-07-24T20:14:36.715-04:00Calling all Bridal Businesses- Bridal Roundtable Meeting - Brooklyn<div class='posterous_autopost'><p> <p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-size: 20pt;"><img src="http://getfile1.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2012-02-29/xytuDDCvBEniyzmoCkvHodBlgaEcvjHmdADacucDkiovIdiCqhonnwsGcBak/Black_Dress_2012_looks_at_THEREZ_FLEETWOOD.png.scaled980.png" alt="Black_dress_2012_looks_at_therez_fleetwood" /><span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">The New York Wedding Circle, a bridal roundtable group of the LDCENY, is hosting its summer networking event.

Up to three winning retailers will receive a month-long retail space, beginning around Fashion Week in September 2012 and running through the end of the month within the Chelsea-based retailer STORY, with 100% of sales going to the winning companies. In addition, up to eight winning fashion technology companies will also be given space at STORY to display and promote their products, which can range from apps to enabling technologies and software, for the month of September. In addition, the winning companies will receive a tool kit of business services including, PR and marketing support, mentoring from industry leaders, and exposure at key industry events. The winners will be selected by a panel of judges including fashion designer Norma Kamali; Brandon Holley, Editor-in-Chief, Lucky Magazine; Vanessa von Bismarck, Founder, Bismarck Phillips Communications & Media (BPCM); Andy Dunn, CEO, Bonobos; and Shana Fisher, Managing Partner, High Line Venture Partners.<br /> <br /> <span>To be eligible for Project Pop-Up NYC, an applicant must meet certain requirements including: being </span>an existing fashion retailer and/or fashion-related technology company; able to support a pop-up store with saleable merchandise (retailers) or a demo/showcase (fashion technology companies) during the month of September; be based in New York City; have been in business for at least one year; and have annual sales or sales projections of over $25,000. Applications are due no later than July 30<sup>th</sup>, 2012. The application form is available online at <a href="http://www.projectpopupnyc.com/" target="_blank">http://www.projectpopupnyc.com</a>.<br /> <br /> “Project Pop-Up NYC will enable emerging New York City-based fashion retailers and fashion technology companies to gain critically important exposure, helping them to join the next generation of leaders within this important sector,” said New York City Economic Development Corporation President Seth W. Pinsky. “By providing the opportunity to sell merchandise from a unique pop-up store, while also offering mentorship and business development training, this program will help these companies take their businesses to the next level.”<br /> <br /> “I am honored and excited to be a part of Project Pop-up NYC!” said Rachel Shechtman, Founder of STORY. “I have personally and professionally experienced a wide range of opportunities in the fashion industry here that I believe wouldn’t be able to happen anywhere else. This competition will leverage all that NYC has to offer to support new, emerging retailers and technologies.”<br /> <br /> “Having made the decision to call NYC home for Bonobos has been one of the critical factors in our success. Access to amazing talent, a supportive startup community, and the fact that it's the fashion capital were not only the key drivers in the initial decision but what has kept us here and enabled us to flourish,” said Andy Dunn, CEO of Bonobos.<br /> <br /> Project Pop-Up NYC was developed with the assistance of a number of New York City-based businesses and designers. For the physical store design and experience, STORY and NYCEDC teamed up with Brooklyn-based architecture firm Snarkitecture and its principals, Alex Mustonen and Daniel Arsham. Snarkitecture has created pop-ups for NYC-based retailer Odin and designer Richard Chai. Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) member and designer Matt Murphy developed the program’s logo, and Paperwhite Studios designed the website.<br /> <br /> Project Pop-Up NYC is oneof six initiatives that resulted from Mayor Bloomberg’s Fashion.NYC.2020 plan, which is designed to sustain and grow the fashion industry in New York. The fashion industry employs 173,000 people in New York City, accounting for 5.7 percent of the City’s workforce, and generating nearly $2 billion in tax revenue annually. In addition, the City is home to one of the world’s largest wholesale fashion markets, which attracts more than 500,000 visitors a year to its trade shows, showrooms and retail stores. The Fashion.NYC.2020 initiatives address the industry’s challenges in two ways: by further positioning the City as a hub of innovation for emerging designers as well as specialty and multi-channel retail, and by attracting the next generation of design, management and merchant talent. The industry chairs for Fashion.NYC.2020 are Richard Darling, CEO of LF USA; Diane von Furstenberg, Chairman and Founder, Diane von Furstenberg Studio L.P., and President, Council of Fashion Designers of America; Terry Lundgren, Chairman, President and CEO of Macy’s, Inc.; Andrew Rosen, CEO of Theory; and Kevin Ryan, CEO of Gilt Groupe.<br /> <br /> For more information about Project Pop-Up NYC, visit <a href="http://www.projectpopupnyc.com/" target="_blank">http://www.projectpopupnyc.com</a>.<br /> Twitter: @ProjectPopUpNYC <br /> Facebook: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/ProjectPopUpNyc" target="_blank">http://www.facebook.com/ProjectPopUpNyc</a><br /> <br /> <strong>About NYCEDC</strong><br /> New York City Economic Development Corporation is the City’s primary vehicle for promoting economic growth in each of the five boroughs.

Even for the Olympics... <br />20-40 yr old they are the smart phone, laptop, ipad audience! <br />The question is how could @nBColmpic have used this opportunity to gain a market advantage! <br />B y the way are you watching live... did you know you could! <br />Http://tuberiam.tibiaetech.com <br />London • <a href="http://www.nbcolympics.com/">http://www.nbcolympics.com/</a></p></div></div>Bonnie Sandy - @BadasseBS -The Early Days Of Blogginghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07045235661418028440noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12845257.post-91183149971797119552012-06-14T07:54:00.001-04:002012-06-14T07:54:48.000-04:00Northside Entrepreneurship (Promotional) Free Badge Giveaway June 14th & 15th<div class='posterous_autopost'><table style="border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px; margin: auto;" width="554"> <tr> <td style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; clear: both;" width="554"> <div class="madmimi-header-container" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> <h2 style="margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; font-size: 21px; font-family: Georgia; line-height: 1.2em;">Northside Entrepreneurship Free Badge Giveaway June 14th & 15th</h2> </div> </td> </tr> </table> <table style="border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px; margin: auto;" width="554"> <tr> <td style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; clear: both;" width="554"> <div class="madmimi-text-container" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> <p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 3px 0px 0px; line-height: 1.5em; font-family: Georgia; color: #3a352a; vertical-align: top;">Via Our Media Strategist Bonnie Sandy of <a href="http://www.brooklynfashionweek.com/index.php?option=com_wrapper&view=wrapper&Itemid=135" target="_blank" style="color: #0000cd;">Brooklyn Fashion Week</a> & <a href="http://www.tibiaetech.com/" target="_blank" style="color: #0000cd;">Tibiae Tech</a> - comes a offer to the latest Entrepreneur conference: Northside festival has added an Entrepreneurship event on June 14th & 15th at <br />The Northside Warehouse and Festival Headquarters- They are giving away a limited number of Northside Entrepreneurship Badges to select groups. <br />open during the following hours:</p> <p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 3px 0px 0px; line-height: 1.5em; font-family: Georgia; color: #3a352a; vertical-align: top;">Thursday, June 14 8:30am -10pm <br />Friday, June 15 8:30am -10pm <br />sign up at</p> <p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 3px 0px 0px; line-height: 1.5em; font-family: Georgia; color: #3a352a; vertical-align: top;"><a href="http://www.brooklynfashionweek.com/index.php?option=com_wrapper&view=wrapper&Itemid=135" target="_blank" style="color: #0000cd;">http://www.brooklynfashionweek.com/index.php?option=com_wrapper&view=wrapper&Itemid=135</a></p> <p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 3px 0px 0px; line-height: 1.5em; font-family: Georgia; color: #3a352a; vertical-align: top;">We apologize for lateness but this is definitely something Entrepreneurs need to check out and in case you're wondering, a Northside Entrepreneurship badge gets you:</p> <ul style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em;"> <li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.7em 30px; padding: 0px; color: #3a352a; font-family: Georgia;"> <p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 3px 0px 0px; line-height: 1.5em; vertical-align: top;">Access to all Northside Entrepreneurship events (June 14-15) on a first-come, first-served basis including panels, presentations, events and the trade show floor.
