ImThere Blog

We left (our hearts in) San Francisco about a week ago, and we’re already itching to get back. It was a great trip that was productive, energizing, and a ton of fun. We were there to meet with advisors and investors, all of which went really well. Everyone we met with had an impressive resumé of successful products and services, yet were down-to-earth, excited to hear what we were doing, and willing to help in various ways. Their response to the ImThere private beta was very positive, and it became clear to us that once it goes live, we’ll have the resources we need to make it a success.

In our spare time, we took in as much of the Bay Area as we could. We made the trek to the Apple HQ (our mecca) and the Googleplex, met some of the Digg, Wordpress, and Songbird guys, and went to the fascinating and very cool Maker Faire. Between those adventures, our meetings, the weather, and well, mostly everything aside from the lack of parking, we were hooked. We do love St. Louis for a lot of reasons, and we’re proud to be based here, but I’d be willing to bet that we’ll be heading west frequently. For a company like ours, and people like us, spending time out there is essential solely for all of the great connections that can be made.

Now that we are back to our normal routine, we’re burning every ounce of midnight oil we can find to launch the new ImThere. We’re presenting at Web Ascent in Chicago on June 20th, so you can bet we’ll be up and running by then. It’s shaping up to be a great gathering of out-of-the-valley startups, so if you’re in the area, definitely check it out. For those that can’t make it, we’ll try to post video of our presentation shortly afterwards.
