Startup Riot is all about supporting little startups with big ideas. We thought that as a sponsor we could spread some VC love to those entrepreneurs in attendance. TokBox will be hosting “Speed Date a VC” from our Startup Riot booth powered by our speed-dating partner, WinkVid. Now every entrepreneur attending Startup Riot will have the chance to win a pitch spot.
Speed-dates will occur between 2:00-3:00 p.m. EST on February 16th. Six entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to pitch two top-notch investors for four minutes each:
The TokBox team will be a traveling like crazy over the next few months showing off OpenTok. Before things get too busy, we thought now would be a good time to keep our non-SF based TokBox followers posted about our future whereabouts.
From San Francisco to LA, Philly, Miami and Atlanta, we’ll have the U.S. map covered. Check out our events list (so far) below.
January 26th (Los Angeles, CA) – USC Viterbi School of Engineering Career Expo
January 28th (Philadelphia, PA) – Philly StartUp Weekend
On December 9th our CEO, Ian Small, presented on TokBox’s behalf in GigaOM’s LaunchPad contest at the Net:Work 2010 conference. Not only did Ian take 2nd place in “Audience Choice”, but his well executed song and dance earned 2nd place in the judge’s panel as well. Go team!
We’d like to thank the folks at GigaOM for giving us the opportunity to participate in the event, as well as the judges who so kindly gave us a score of 25/30. We must admit, it was a bit nerve-wracking to watch Ian be judged as if he were a contestant on Dancing with the Stars.

Grab your canvas shopping bag, eco-friendly coffee cup, and carpool to work because today marks the 40th anniversary of Earth Day. It’s a day to show our appreciation for the environment and to think about how our daily activities make an impact.
In the past week we’ve all been reminded of the power of Mother Nature with the eruption of Eyjafjallajökull. With one fail swoop, Europe was at a standstill: no flights, canceled meetings, empty conferences, and thousands of stranded passengers. One fact that I find particularly relevant to Earth Day: the CO2 emissions from the eruption itself are significant, but dwarfed by the savings from mass groundings of flights (see daily emissions comparison below).
Since we’re all about videos here at TokBox, we decided to record a quick demo of all the new moderation & scheduling features.
