The Beta Summit is the launchpad for fresh, new companies and technologies (sometimes still in beta) coming out of Central Texas. Our session continues to grow every year, with standing room only no matter how much bigger our room gets each year. What companies have made their debut at the Beta Summit in the past? A sample of [...]
mobileTech Tuesday, by Steve Guengerich Yes, I know it’s mid-July. Summertime is in full swing. The heat is hot and the rain is not in Austin. The next “official” US holiday, Labor Day, is a nearly seven weeks away on September 5 – an eternity in mobi time. But, my friend, there’s no time like the present to (urgently) plan for an onslaught of events that provide opportunities to learn, sell, and network with people [...]
Matt Scherer, a contributing blogger, had the opportunity to interview C.

So, it’s been a year since you were named as the AI TP I nformation Technology of the Year. What is happening with the flux capacitor and the Whurley movement? It’s been an insane year. I left BMC Software in November of 2009 and took a few months off to be with my family. In January, I co-founded Chaotic Moon Studios (The Mobile Application Studio) and everything has been a blur since. Currently, the flux [...]
With a spirited gubernatorial race just days after the Oct. 28 October Innotech, it seems only natural that a major focus on social media would be how Governor Rick Perry and Bill White are using this communication tool. Mike Chapman, a partner with Apogee Communications, is working with Bill Leake in programming the eMarketing summit for next Thursday’s Innotech. He spoke with Matt Scherer, the publicist for 2010 Innotech and an Austin Startup contributor, on [...]

I have the pleasure of hosting the Innotech Beta Summit again for 2010, and I have a select group of the freshest technology products that Austin has to offer. In prior years, we’ve featured companies such as OtherInBox (which has since gone on to raise $4M), Spredfast (which raised $1.6M), Game Salad (which raised $1M), Phurnace (profitably acquired by BMC). This next round of companies holds just as much promise. If you haven’t yet, you [...]

There is also a separate eMarketing track for digital marketing professionals. This year, Innotech will be on Thursday, October 28th. You can register for Innotech here. We also need nominations for [...]
