Description You can read about something, but it's only when you see it in
action that you really 'get it'.

As a follow-on to last September's successful meeting 'Starting
a company for under $1,000', this month you're invited to give a
short demo of a tool, service, or process you use in your start-
up. You'll have 5+ minutes to show off something you use every
day, and in turn you'll have a chance to see what other founders
use. There will be a laptop projector and wifi, although to be
safe you might want to bring screenshots too.

Sign up on the wiki http://startupsig.pbwiki.com where there are
some suggested demos, but you're free to present whatever you'd
like.

Besides technical tools, you can show business documents and
processes, blacking out any confidential information.

Ideas: wiki for project management, MySQL tools, Eclipse, web
stats reports, provisional patent application, Google AdWords
plan. More on the wiki.

We'll do as many of these as possible, shooting for 10 or so.
They can be short, maybe 3 slides or less. Just so we get the
idea of how the tool or process works: so we 'get it'.
