New York Silicon Alley Weekly Updates 29 Nov 2013

Happy Friday Everyone!

Thanks for the warm welcome many of you gave me last week. I loved getting your
emails.

We have a January Demo and Drinks Night in planning stages and are looking for presenters. Those interested can complete this form to let us know.

For most of us here in the US, yesterday was not just about the dancers in the Macy’s
Thanksgiving Day Parade, or pets in the Purina Dog Show, but about Football. As I
watched the majority of my in-laws eat pumpkin pie and yell at the TV, I couldn’t help
but think of an app looking for funding on one of our sister sites: Fan Choir

I definitely encourage all of you to foster your startups on that site. It was quite
successful in putting the necessity of that product at the forefront of my mind.

Oh, and being thankful, family, pilgrims and cornucopias are all lovely sentiments too.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Don’t forget to check out the #TechStartupJobs Fair New York here.

Enjoy Your weekend!

Best, Francesca
