[Mixpo's Glenn Pingul and PR VOIP Maven Andy Abramson at DEMO reception]
Mixpo is one of three companies I coached for DEMO. My pal, Andy Abramson brought me in and I had a ball working with them. Mixpo, is designed for small business users who want to take advantage of social media very easily, to create modern web pages, portfolios, resumes and other professional materials.
This morning when I staggered down for an early morning shot of Starbucks I found co-founders Glenn Pingul and Anupam Gupta, huddled on a couch, going over theri presentations, tweaking their technology and looking like a couple of kids awaiting Santa Claus on New Year's Eve. It was 5:45 a.m.
You could tell they were just tickled to there. They showed no signs of fatigue. As I chatted with them, I looked around the lobby of the JW Marriott here in Palm Springs. There were at least another dozen pairs of entrepreneurs doing the same thing. I'm sure in rooms throughout the hotel, there were dozens of others doing the same thing, not to mention a few of us insomniac bloggers.
Now it's 7 a.m., time to get ready for the breakfast and opening remarks by executive producer Chris Shipley. Then, it's showtime folks.
