May 2009

The week that was

Posted Fri, 05/29/2009 - 2:29pm by Krissa

If you're like TechBoise, you are happy that its Friday and the week is coming to a close. You also may be sorting through emails, the piles and files on desks and desktops trying to remember where you were at on your projects.

This is not because you are lazy or slow, but because you

(a) enjoyed a 3 day weekend before
(b) attended TechLaunch Wednesday
(c) attended IdaVation Thursday
(d) all of the above

The correct answer is (d), all of the above. What a week!

Its May, Time for Graduation

Posted Mon, 05/18/2009 - 8:21am by Krissa

Congratulations to Banshee Bungee and Valitics!

TechBoise learned late Friday that these 2 companies have graduated from the BSU TECenter.

The Valitics crew can now be found in the Eagles Building, 223 N 6th, Suite 240 in Boise (above Java). Stop by and check out their new digs. I'm sure they'd love to chat.

We are checking on the new location for Banshee.

TechBoise wants to hear from you

Posted Fri, 05/15/2009 - 10:07am by Krissa

Over the past week, several of Boise's start-ups have been featured in the media. Perhaps you saw the New York Times article with Pete Gombert and the crew at Balihoo? Innovus Solar was also highlighted in the article that used Boise as a bellwether for the economy rebounding, reviving or at least stopping to recess. It was even picked up by the Idaho Statesman.

Posted Thu, 05/14/2009 - 9:39am by Krissa

TechBoise is Alive

Posted Tue, 05/12/2009 - 8:36am by Krissa

Never fear, Boise tech community....

TechBoise is alive and well and living on, despite Tac's departure for the greener, perhaps techier pastures of Seattle. We've taken a few weeks to collect ourselves and dry our tears at his departure and are back in the swing of things.

Just a few things to wet your techie appetite:

Kickstand - May 14th, 5:30 - 7:00 pm at the WaterCooler - expect to be surprised

TechLaunch - May 27th, 8:00 - 4:30 pm at the Doubletree Riverside
