Myles Weissleder’s Experience

Founder

SF New Tech

(Events Services industry)

March 2006 — Present (3 years 5 months)

SF New Tech is a series of regular events for people (like you) who want to see the latest and greatest new technology -- right in their own backyard. It’s also common ground and a place to build relationships within the tech community of San Francisco. We’re over 4000 strong -- and we don’t bite.

Since we launched in the spring of 2006 some of the Bay Area's best and brightest technology companies have given demos at SF New Tech.

Co-Founder Emeritus

chi.mp

(Internet industry)

January 2008 — January 2009 (1 year 1 month)

Prior to its alpha release and during its beta period, I helped set into motion perhaps one of the most exciting new players to come along in the social web space: chi.mp.

I also helped formulate the concept of its value proposition, came up with its name and unique moniker: "chi.mp the content hub and identity management platform", gave the company legs in the bay area by sparking and enabling pre-launch activities that the media reported on heavily and got the SF technology scene talking.

When the company finally launches to the public (Spring of '09?), it should empower people to organize, centralize, and aggregate their online identities through their own unique domain that they both own and control.
