1871 releases MeetTheStartups video series

It’s been just over two months since 1871 opened its doors on May 2^nd and welcomed the first round of digital startups. To say we have some incredible companies (and of course people) “living here”, would be an understatement. The excitement, idea generation, networking, mentorship, support and pure adrenaline that fill the space everyday are so exciting to watch. So with that in mind, we wanted to create an opportunity to let others meet and hear from some of the great entrepreneurs in and around 1871 as they share their insights on fostering digital startup success.

Today, we are releasing the first video in a series called #MeetTheStartups. With over 100 companies working out of 1871 already, #MeetTheStartups tries to capture some of the excitement of a growing startup ecosystem.

Thanks to our entrepreneur participants in this video: Chuck Templeton of OpenTable, Genevieve Theirs of Sittercity/Contact Karma, Erik Severinghaus of SimpleRelevance, Justin Massa of Food Genius, Phil Leslie of ProOnGo, Chris Jaeger of Rentstuff.com, Rick Desai of Dashfire and Cayse Llorens of CelebTango.

Tune in next week as #MeetTheStartups continues to share the stories and advice of the emerging entrepreneurs in our tech community.
