Don’t Nemo and I look good on the TechStars Reality TV show? Ya, we thought so. Bloomberg produced a series about the first round of startups in the New York session of the coveted TechStars incubator program. While Nemonics didn’t get in this round, we’re still proud to be background fodder for the show. Yes, we’re obviously being cut into the sequence titled “weird video pitches David Tisch had to watch while vetting applicants,” but I’m glad I’m just the guy with the dog and not the one singing or breakdancing.
We’re very excited to be applying for the winter TechStars session. Wonder what we’ll do to top the dog. Breakdancing?
We’re honored and excited to be numbered among the Scene’s “Ten Forward-Thinking Ideas that are Pushing Nashville–and the World-Into the Future.” Special thanks to Managing Editor Jack Silverman for writing our section. We’re number nine on the list, but I highly suggest checking out the whole roster.
The Googleplex
Life has been good for Nemonics lately. I’m still in Silicon Valley and Nathan is in Nashville (sorry about the heat, dude). The bay continues to be an amazing experience. Last week I had lunch at the Googleplex and dinner at Facebook HQ. I got to meet MG Siegler (TechCrunch, VentureBeat), saw a lecture from Danny Hillis (Applied Minds), and explored TechShop in both Menlo Park and SOMA, SF. The startup is also making great headway with QuoteTh.is: doing our first official round of user testing, working with some killer designers to do branding, and about to bring in some UX muscle.

(at the Daylife headquarters in Soho)
I just wrapped up a whirlwind week in New York, footing around the city and having meetings and mingling with some truly remarkable people. Here’s a recap of who I met with and what they had to say:
I sat down with Pete Dorogoff, the VP of Digital and Social Media at Thomson Reuters, one of the largest media entities in the world. My remarkable friend Maura McGreevy set up the meeting in the glimmering tower of 3 Times Square. I showed Pete our QuoteTh.is demo; he loved it and offered up some great feedback and suggestions as well. He asked if I wanted to pitch QuoteTh.is to the Thomson Reuters product team while I was in town. I said we weren’t ready! But better believe I’ll be back soon.
