SFBIG'ers,
If you missed last week's BIG Minute of Innovation event, you're probably kicking yourself or had a die-hard excuse. You must have been traveling for work, on vacation, or picketing against SF's school board's decision to lay off 900 teachers. Your absence had to have been that compelling for you to have missed out on one of the "most energetic," "genius" events we've held in a long time.

SFBIG'ers,
Thank you to those who showed up to our first event in the new decade. We had a full turnout at The BIG Minute and many of you commented on the fun format — 15 start-ups giving their 70 second elevator pitch. We're always up for hearing feedback or ideas on how to improve upon our inaugural event. If you've got a suggestion, write to us on our Facebook page or tweet to us at @sfbig. And again, congrats to the BIG Minute winners — Placecast, Booyah, XLNT Ads and Milo!
