As many of you should know already, I am currently in San Francisco for the Twimbow Silicon Valley tour, during which I met lots of people, attended tons of networking events, pitched Twimbow to everyone and sent out 100+ invitations to join our service. This trip is finally coming to the end and I will be back in Italy next Monday.
After having spent two weeks here, as it usually happens when I spend a few weeks in Silicon Valley, I always feel there is no better place to do business and to launch new products in the space of web and social media. The way people work and interact here is something that couldn’t be found elsewhere.
This time, my goal was the following: make people aware about Twimbow, “evangelize” about its usage and pitching why Twimbow is WAY better than other alternatives. I had lots of opportunity to do this, during events, conferences and one to one with a lot of people I already knew or whom I got to know during this trip. It was great meeting Amit Kumar from Socialscope as well as Niccolo Pantucci from Taskforce. Not to mention all the great italian guys and gals who are doing great things here.
The last stop of this trip was the Launch Conference, where lots of startups had the opportunity to unveil new products, starting from scratch or whose product/service is still in closed beta/alfa, like Twimbow is. I had the opportunity to get a table in the “Launch Pad”, so I spent the past two days showing attendees, other startups and many people “who count” all the wonderful things you can do with Twimbow.
I had the opportunity to finally meet Jason Calcanis, a definitely funny guy who put together this conference and to hang out and meet again great people like Robert Scoble, Om Malik, Don Dodge, Marshall Kirkpatrick, Rafe Needleman and many others.
What to say? Simply awesome. It’s true that at the end of the two days I was very tired (can’t imagine…), but it was definitely worth it. Lots of great startups, lots of great people.
I look forward to meeting all these great people again soon and that my work will be the first step towards an incredible success for Twimbow.
Last but not least, in case you missed it, here is the interview I gave for The Next Web thanks to Hermione Way. I was still jet-lagged, but you can enjoy it anyway
