Editor's note: In the article below, AlleyWatch's Rohinee Mohindroo does a great job of capturing the excitement at this meetup, also attended by your's truly. This week (Mon. 2/8) two of these companies, Shareablee, and Mental Canvas presented at the full monthly New York Tech Meetup, held at NYU's Skirball Center. The crowd of hundreds of people could not have been more enthusiatic and supportive.
These two founders owned their presentations. What a pleasure to behold.
