 Send to email | NY Tech Meetup Preview: A Twofer For Betaworks in General |  By Silicon
el 12-May-2008 | Don't think we've seen this before: Two companies backed by the same ... group of investors* presenting at the same NY Tech Meetup.
Firefly, a cool display app for Websites, and Summize, a Twitter search engine, are two of the 14 companies that have gotten funding from John Borthwick's Betaworks since last fall. We've just started using Summize, and find it to be a pretty good utility; we'd like to try out Firefly once it's out of alpha but have liked what we've seen so far (see below).
The meetup has moved back to Cooper Union, and registration is full. Our totally-not-approved-by-meetup-hunch: You can get in if you really want to. Details for those with reservations here. The lineup:
- ZocDoc online appointments with doctors and dentists
- Wirewize consumer electronics support
- Firefly
- Summize
- Mochila media marketplace for publishers
*You might think that Betaworks resembles an incubator. If you do make this mistake, don't compound it by saying it out loud in front of John, or you'll get a withering stare.

| NY Tech Meetup: Meet Muxtape | | A foolproof way to taste the latest in tech: Tuesday's NY Tech Meetup lineup is in, and we're anxious to hear from Justin Ouellette of Muxtape.com, the simple music sharing site that has Fred Wilson and the rest of the tech community buzzing.

| Internet Week At NY Tech Meetup: The Big Guys Strut Their Stuff | | Typically, the monthly New York Tech Meetup is an opportunity for the unpolished founders of brand-new local start-ups to go up onstage, talk about their companies for five minutes, and risk heckling from an audience of 400.
