Ann Arbor New Tech is a group of people from various industries and backgrounds (e.g., entrepreneurs, technologists, investors, lawyers, marketers, students, etc.) interested in fostering local technology startups by organizing events, sharing resources, and building a supportive community.

Ann Arbor New Tech’s signature event takes place on the third Tuesday of each month, at 6:30 p.m., now at Blau Auditorium, UM Ross School of Business, 701 Tappan Street, Ann Arbor, MI 48104.  The monthly event features three to five companies who are each given five minutes to demo and five minutes to answer questions.  Open announcements and networking follows.

This month’s meetup (on February 16th at 6:30 p.m.) features Safford & Baker client Jake Sigal, founder/CEO of Myine Electronics and Livio Radio.  Jake was supposed to present in December but couldn’t make it due to inclement weather.  I understand Jake will be presenting Myine’s Abbee product, a CEA award-winning product which automatically records songs from your favorite FM stations while removing commercials and DJ talk.

Also presenting:

• Mark Sendo, Bodega, social marketplace to trade virtual goods
• Chris Cassell, Zattoo, live streaming TV via the web and iPhone
• Jeff Eusebio, FamilyMint, financial literacy for kids and online budgeting app for parents
• Greg Smith, Connected Lyfe, carrier-neutral triple-play (voice, video, data) provider

Hope to see you there.
