What's going on?

Greetings! Kay's away at Glastonbury so I thought I'd chip in with my first post...

It's been a busy month. You know things are going well when you're booked up on Mesh meetings for the forthcoming month! On Monday, 25 June our static pages will go live. In addition, our developer, Lee, is working really hard on finalising phase 1. Phase 1 will consist of the profile and network pages and the newsletter. In particular, the network page will provide creative young business professionals with an area to showcase their talents and connect with like minded individuals.

We hope to launch a private beta phase to 150 founding members in August 2007 and are organising a launch party in their honour. If you are a young business professional with a creative second life (or aspires to have one) and would like to become a founding member, please email join@meshminds.com.

The founding members are going to be the grassroots of the community. They will have access to phase 1 of the website and we will be actively canvassing them for ideas for phase 2 and feedback on what they like or dislike about phase 1. I'm really looking forward to meeting them all and getting their feedback on the concept as it develops.

Whilst all this is going on, we're actively looking for investment. We've had a couple of meetings with VCs and are awaiting feedback. To that end, Kay, Lee and myself will be at OpenCoffee Club on Thursday, 28 June.

OK, I'm nursing a monumental hangover...off to the water cooler.
