Here\u2019s a video of my demo at New York Tech Meetup this week. The one rule for the meetup- \u2018you can\u2019t talk about business model\u2019- really took me out of my comfort zone.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I got good feedback after the event. ( A lot of people actually thanked me for bring the first black woman they\u2019d ever seen present at an event like this- which made me happy & sad at the same time). But the best feedback came from reading people\u2019s blog posts about the demos & hearing the way they paraphrased what Kollecto was all about. My favorite quote was this:<\/p>\n

“Kollecto\u2026 reminds me of an amalgamation of Pinterest, Pandora Radio, and StumbleUpon for buying art.” – Max<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I found that comment to be great indirect constructive feedback: a great reminder to stay focused on doing one clear thing with Kollecto. Right now I feel like Kollecto is a hybrid between StumbleUpon<\/a> for art & Share Some Style<\/a> for art and I think we need to hone in on one of those directions sooner rather than later.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Really great experience. Thank you NYTM<\/a> for having me on the stage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
