Mobile Monday Boston recently sponsored a dinner for CTOs of major mobile-based companies in the Boston area. Check out the MoMo CTO Dinner Video Recap for a quick hollah from LocaModa’s CTO, Steve An.
The dinner was sponsored by Flybridge Capital and moderated by Wade Roush of Xconomy (who has always been a loyal supporter of LocaModa… Thanks, Wade!)
Steve looks pretty darn psyched about the mobile climate in Boston, eh?
We’re busy as ever over at LocaModa HQ, but wanted to share a great pic of Wiffiti at the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, MA! Our CTO, Steve An, went to a show last weekend and snapped this in the lobby.
Also wanted to pass along an open invite to the Mobile Monday Boston event on November 17th, 7-9pm at the Omni Parker Hotel (It’s a Monday). It’s free, and you can register here. The focus this month is on early stage mobile companies. MoMo always puts on a great event!
Mobile Monday Boston put on a fantastic event last night and hosted an amazing panel of Boston’s most successful mobile experts. The lecture hall was filled to the brim, and the discussion could have gone on for at least another hour.
LocaModa’s CEO Stephen Randall and Enpocket Founder (and current Global Director of Mobile Brand Strategy for Nokia) Jeremy Wright found quick cadence doling out keen industry insight in dueling British accents, while VoiceSignal’s Founder and CEO Dan Roth was not only hilarious, but gave some very sage advice to aspiring entrepreneurs.
The panelists discussed the challenges of entrepreneurship in general, and segued into a more targeted conversation about the mobile industry in particular. Referred to as the “Godfathers” of the mobile world in Boston, the panel built off each other’s advice well, and gave their honest views of the constantly shape-shifting industry. It was wonderful to see such a great turnout of students, newly-minted MBAs, business professionals, and mobile strategists in the audience.
I couldn’t help myself but add captions to this panel photo, as it was pretty lame without a backdrop of any kind. But no, Stephen and Jeremy did not dwell upon their mutual love of London, and Dan may or may not have been thinking about cats… I promise this is completely in jest :)
Thanks also to sponsors BU Entrepreneurs and Common Angels!
And LocaModa lays claim to one of them!
(or he lays claim to us??)
In any case… We’re excited to announce that Stephen Randall will be a panelist at the upcoming event put on by Harvard Business School, TechMedia Club, and Mobile Monday Boston. The event will connect Boston’s premier mobile thought leaders with 15 tech and entrepreneurship groups from Bentley, BC, BU, Harvard, HBS, MIT, Northeastern, WPI and Tufts, as well as local tech enthusiasts and Mobile Monday’s 80+ member companies.
