Jason Calacanis launching new startup conference: Launch
- alain94040 16y agoWhat I like: lower price ($400 vs. $2000 ticket), focus on real entrepreneurs, possibly innovative model with actual investments What I don't like: lawsuit with TC. Too much bad blood. Risks killing the whole effort.
- nek4life 16y agoThe way the rocket is offset I keep seeing Lunch first before seeing Launch. I suppose if your launch is successful you will get to eat your lunch so to speak.
- martinkallstrom 16y agoIt was my immediate association as well. I guess there is no such thing as a free launch.
- gojomo 16y agoIt doesn't help that the rocketship looks a bit like a slice of pizza.
- gojomo 16y agoWith the .IS domain name, I thought for a moment he might hold the conference in Reykjavik.
- vaksel 16y agothat's the big thing? I thought his newsletter was going to be long researched articles, actual investigative journalism that goes beyond the generic coverage you see elsewhere...not just announcements that so and so company has launched...and a conference? This sure sounds like he is just jealous of Arrington and Techcrunch and wants a piece of the pie.
- rorrr 16y agoLaunching another spam site?
- sokoloff 16y agoHe'll be taking content by scraping other startup conferences and pretend to add value by re-presenting it.
