Punchbowl Software mentioned in today’s Boston Globe
It’s a perfect fall day here in Boston — overcast morning skies and a little bit chilly. It’s a great day to stay inside and read the Boston Globe from cover to cover. If you do read the Boston Globe today, I hope you won’t miss a great article by Scott Kirsner titled “Even in Difficult Times Entrepreneurs will Emerge” about how pockets of the Boston entrepreneurial community are weathering the storm. Punchbowl Software is mentioned as the example of a Web 2.0/Digital media company that is thriving even in this economic downturn.
Here’s the mention:
Web 2.0/Digital media - There’s no “pillar” company here yet, but rather lots of start-ups hoping their websites and Facebook applications will catch fire. Earlier this month, Punchbowl Software, which operates a website that aims to improve the way people plan parties, raised $2.1 million in funding; the company has just seven full-time employees, with an eighth starting soon.
One of the more amusing things for me about the article is that we are mentioned just before Bose Corporation. After four years working at Bose, it’s nice to be mentioned ahead of them!
My thanks to Scott Kirsner for including us in his Sunday Innovation Economy article. If you are in Boston and don’t read Scott’s blog yet — don’t waste another minute. It’s the blog for the innovation economy in Boston.
