January 27- StartUp Weekend grads Yaro chat with TechBoise

Get your ducks in a row with Yaro

It's January! Are you stoked? Yeah, us either. There seems to be a general malaise about the City of Trees that can only be cured by one thing. We need a hero, folks.

And guess what - There's a little ray of sunshine in Boise's Tech scene. It's called Yaro, and it came out of November's Startup Weekend. Yaro's mantra, "Swimming in a sea of social media publishing? Get your ducks in a row with Yaro," was created to address the issues facing those of us using multiple social media platforms for personal and business "needs." Jana Briggs, CEO and Co-founder of Yaro (and self-proclaimed social media junkie), along with Karl Meinhardt, Yaro Board Member, will take us through Yaro's journey - from pitch to development and beyond - and let us in on where they now stand.

This will all happen on Wednesday January 27, 5:30pm, at the Watercooler. . (Link to map), 14th and Idaho. We're still looking for a sponsor, so if your company has a few bucks to pony up for drinks and pizza, we'll make it worth your while with plenty of love. Email techboise@gmail.com if you're up for it!
