We’re going orbital!

Made In Space, a Silicon Valley Space Start-up, is spending 2013 under contract with NASA to build a 3D Printer to be delivered to the International Space Station; which once in operation will mark the first time in history Humanity has manufactured off-Earth.

It’s 2013 and we’re hurling into another dimension! 2012 was all about building the Hurl platform and transforming public TV screens into smartphone-controlled Internet Video Jukeboxes. We’ve already hurled on the largest TV screen on earth (http://bit.ly/WEwNFs) and this year is all about generating revenue.

We’re based out of Houston so we KNOW what it takes to launch. 2013, here we go!

You might not know us Rocketspace, but we know you. We’re Cohort Capital and we’re investors in two of your companies, Global Mojo and Fanatic Fans!

Why would you want to send a “fund” to the Launch Festival? Can’t we afford our own ticket? Well…we’re a start-up too! We’re a bunch of young guys who’ve raised some capital to support great tech start-up’s.

To what heights will we fly in 2013? Let’s get more awesome companies funded and into Rocketspace and launched out of Rocketspace!

We’ll go beyond our competition… hire 2-3 people… and make it cashflow positive! It’s the dream!! It sounds generic but it’s true.

2013 will be the year that Playmysong takes it already global app out of this world: we want music lovers everywhere to be able to walk into their favorite venue anywhere, check out the music selection, settle down with a drink and choose songs right off of their phone. With a new team of experienced, driven music tech aficionados, we will be releasing a major product revamp, including completely new versions of our Playmysong and Playmysong Pro apps and an entirely redesigned look and feel for our online presence. We’ve also got some awesome partnerships in the works and are rapidly expanding our user base each day. Bring it on, 2013!

The goal for my tech startup in 2013 is to get 100 customers; and I want to bootstrap it all the way!

If we can get 100, then I know we can get 10,000, and if we get 10,000 then we will surely make it to 1,000,000, etc.

Who knows, maybe I’ll finally meet a cofounder to take this product from the sidelines into the main game!

2013 is going to be a great year for GVING. We are going to improve our state of the art CRM tool for merchants, build large partnerships, scale to more universities and absolutely redefine how a startup in SV can fight to dominate its space with limited capital and unlimited heart.
