Startup Riot 2010
February 18th, 2010 Posted in Community, Start-Ups, Technology
Sanjay Parekh is back for a third time with Startup Riot. Yesterday 50 companies made a three minute presentation each – pitching their new company.
Bo Peabody, co-founder of Tripod.com and Village Ventures, was the keynote speaker. Bo’s book, Lucky or Smart?, is available on Amazon.
I am pleased that my new venture, QuoteJuice.com, was chosen to present. For the past couple years, Andrew Lunde, one of Atlanta’s most accomplished technologists, and I have been building the site. We are sticking to the adage that if you aren’t embarrassed by the way the site looks then you launched to slow. We are continuing to make improvements that will make the user’s experience better.
Quotejuice.com allows consumers to easily quote and compare side-by-side competing health plans, and to make application for the insurance product that best fits their needs. The company is a licensed insurance agency in Georgia, California, Colorado, North Carolina and Tennessee. QuoteJuice, founded in March 2007, is a member company of the Advanced Technology Development Center at Georgia Tech.
