Chris and John pitched their company Editingg while Nick Maloney, Dan Marques and Jeff Seibert offered their thoughts on what the company should do to get to the next level.

We also had a fantastic band playing that night in the Rollo Tomasi Quartet. These guys have been performing in the greater Boston area since May of 2002. Their slogan, “Jazz Straight Up. Funk Chaser.” is truly an apt description for this dynamic foursome. Mixing vibrant original compositions with innovative arrangements of timeless standards, this group pleases audiences of all ages and bridges the gap between jazz and funk. Members of RTQ have played in many Boston-area venues including the Regattabar, Upstairs on the Square, Gargoyles, The Beehive, Vinalia, The Good Life, the Oak Bar, the State Room, Stellina, Tryst, the Four Seasons, Wonderbar, and the Cantab Lounge. They are always seeking out new opportunities and venues to play.

If you didn't have a chance to see the show check it out below. Just to give you a heads up, I had some technical difficulties with my firewire port so we had to go old school using the computer's camera. We'll be back on line for Capitalize though!

On the panel tonight we had:

Nick Maloney: Open Source, Drupal, and Django pay my mortgage and keep me entertained. Proud Bentley U Alum

Dan Marques: Director of Online Marketing & Analytics at Gemvara. Portfolio Entrepreneur

Jeff Seibert: Startup junkie, programmer, designer. Box.net, Slouch LLC., Increo Solutions Inc., and Arios Software.

The past two months we've seen a couple hundred people come out, talk shop and get connected. We hope to see you there!

This month we have Chris Gallello and John Gesimondo pitching their company Editingg. Editingg allows people to upload their images and have them touched up and improved by professionals. Currently the editing is done by Chris and John however as they move forward they'll be crowd sourcing the photo improvements.

The first 10 people to email photos@editingg.com with “2free” in the subject will receive one free edit.  Just attach the picture that you want edited and feel free to include requests. Chris and John should have the uploader for the website up soon but for now this will be easiest.

Grab your ticket!

Yes, yes there are a bunch of other events going on that night but who is going to have free beer (Gansetts baby!), food, Four Square (the real game not that check in stuff), live music and the top twenty-something startup talent in the city? I recommend everyone get to the other events super early then fire over to Bocoup for another round .

This month we have mobile startup Peekaboo presenting. Ben and Mike have created an iPhone app (soon to have Android) that allows consumers to access and utilize coupons at nearby businesses based on the consumer's GPS location. The app is launched and can be found in the app store just search for 'Peekaboo Mobile'.

Grab your ticket!

We've got to thank this month's sponsors...

Listen to what Ben and Mike have to say about their company...

The event starts at 6:45pm!

Finally an event that wasn't suits and Sam Adams.

The guys from Bocoup hosted us in their sick loft space in Fort Point, Asher Kurtz and band were incredible while Pokin' Holes with company Black Screen Studios saw it's largest crowd yet. 100+ people can't be wrong, startup parties in Boston are a hit!

The best part about last night were the people that came out. It was so refreshing to meet so many new people from all over town who aren't typically in the Boston startup echo-chamber. I hope to see everyone out for next month's event!

Check out the photos...

We of course have to thank Narragansett Beer and Paul Toomey of Wells Fargo Advisors for sponsoring and making the event possible. These two companies have been Dart's strongest supporters since the beginning and we can't thank them enough for being with us the whole way!

If you missed the show check it out below...

On the Pokin' Holes panel we had:

Paul Medico: Graphic Designer, Filmmaker - 82Films

Tim Rowell: Former visual effects producer. Banjo teacher & music school owner that loves new media and old-time music.

Jeremy Traub: Director of Photography / Visual Effects Supervisor

Stay tuned for the next startup party and Pokin' Holes.

I don't know about you guys but I've had my fair share of Boston's 'Sam Adams and suits' [...]]]> This will be one of the best weeks in Dart! Not only do we have Amit and his company Black Screen Studios on the show, we are throwing a startup party (registration on our eventbrite page required)

I don't know about you guys but I've had my fair share of Boston's 'Sam Adams and suits' events (yeah you can use that term too). We need more people hanging out in relaxed social settings. It's about time for everyone to lighten up, drink a few Gansetts and have talk startup shop.

Grab your ticket!

So the guys from Bocoup are hosting us in their sick 6,000 sqft loft in Fort Point. We should have a quality mix of developers, business types, social medi-ites, students and others all amped up about the startup space. Maybe some founder dating going on???

Needless to say you don't want to miss this especially when Narragansett Beer is sponsoring the event!

To kick off the night we have Pokin' Holes with Black Screen Studios which is a Boston based production studio catering to broadcast television, film production, education, CPG, automotive, bio-tech, pharmaceutical, non-profit, and media research companies. If you haven't seen these guys yet, get to know them, Amit and his killer team are taking this studio to the top!
