HoodFind^TM

Well folks, I hope that you enjoyed it. HoodFind launched this evening and with exception for the spilled drink on the laptop, everything went off without a hitch. In fact, we want to thank the folks who were waiting in two and at times three deep lines to speak with us. Your patience and understanding was much appreciated.

The launch was a success, the website is working, the message is honed, and the samurai are sharpening their blades.

First of all, thank you to Adrian. You delivered when our go-live date seemed to slip further away the closer the goal became. You rock, man. We could not have done it without you.

Second - thank you to Radu and Ionutz for your help as well. Great work guys.

Third - Kati, Jon, Nicole, Jandra, Kay, JoAnne, Suzanne – the HoodFind team was in full effect and the support you showed us tonight was unbelievable. A truly team effort.

Fourth, we wanted to give a shout out to all the Tech Cocktailers who peppered us with your questions and humored us with your wit – it was a great night at John Barleycorn (and we don’t care if Yelp only gives Barleycorn 2 stars – for us it was a 5 star night).

Fifth – to Eric and Frank – the organizers. Great work. Great show. Thank you for letting us be a part of it.

And finally to my partner Ara – wow, man. Your creativity is unbelievable. Your passion for perfectionism is unrivaled. Now the gauntlet is down and the challenge lies bare before us – let’s do this for all the people who really want to cut through the clutter and find stuff in their Hood.
