Help Send Us To Startup Camp + Foo Camp

The most important part of your presentation describing your company/product as "Publictivity is the online social workspace that allows companies to better organize and share information by leveraging the connections around them" needs some rework and you need to come up with a better one liner. Your description might fall into what Greg McAdoo from Sequoia refers to it as "This is technically accurate but totally useless"

Hey Wave,

That's exactly where we're struggling/working on. Greg's talk at Startup Camp was awesome, because it gave no bullshit/ straight forward advice. We know what we're making is useful, but bringing it down to one sentence that makes real world sense is key. That's why I even say in the presentation "to get past the mission statement speak", and then explain the product. Off the cuff, if I could sum it up in other words:

"We Give Entrepreneurs The Tools To Run Their Business".

The organize + share, is really more on the technical side of things when I think about it more.

Thanks for the feedback, it's exactly what we need.
