The SproutBox Sprout #6 Selection Committee event this past weekend was a great success. The application finalists pitched their ideas to the selection committee followed by a weekend of networking and fun.

Following a full day of great pitches and updates from entrepreneurs, selection committee members and finalists joined the SproutBox team for dinner and drinks at some of Bloomington’s quintessential spots, tours and tasting at two fantastic local breweries, and wrapped-up with a trip to an IU basketball game.

Ignite Bloomington was another great example of Bloomington’s tech scene coming together. It was a blast, and SproutBox was proud to be a sponsor. Brad and I also had fun participating as presenters. If you missed it, you can check out our presentations on the YouTubes. Thanks to Jay Steele for recording these. I grabbed mine and turned it into a Slidecast as well.

I talked a little bit about starting startups in the downturn.
