PR for Internet Startups

PR is very important for the launch plan for internet startups.  Every month, a group of founders of internet startups get together here in Seattle to discuss issues we all face at Seattle Tech Startups. 

I'm bringing together a speaker and a panel of PR experts that specialize in working with internet startups during their launch.  The meeting will be on February 22nd.

I will facilitate the panel discussion. 

Speakers:

agency targeting emerging high tech companies.  Paul has over 15 years of
experience in launching and building campaigns for 120+ companies, from
boot-strap startups to high-growth venture-fueled rockets to global,
