April is Unofficial Startup Month in RVA
by Larkin Garbee

Innovation, mobile, and collaboration were the keywords in RVA a few months ago.  This month?  STARTUP.  The number of startup events this month is pleasantly overwhelming, so I have decided to log them all here in hopes that some of the great people of Richmond are able to attend at least one event.  I have officially deemed April the unofficial startup month for RVA.  (Please let me know if I missed any!)

Feast RVA

A crowd funded event with a meal.  It's pretty simple: pay $25, attend the event, listen to the pitches, and vote for your favorite pitch.  The winner gets $500.  (Our own 804RVA member, Vincent Alfaro is featured this month).  
                                            Sunday April 1st at 6 pm  
                                            1617 West Main St.

Deemed not a "wonkathon", this event is hosted by TechCrunch and RVA is one of 3 cities to be chosen to be the first of the TC mini-meetups.  Designed for networking and sharing your ideas, attendees are encouraged to "bring iPads loaded with a pitch deck and a small cord containing your website and pertinent info".
