I was pointed by a link (from a link, from a link…you know how it goes) to this article from bNet on 8 Ways to mess up, thwart, destroy and essentially ruin your business’s social media strategy, most notably point three:

A Place To Grow

Sobridge Media recently threw some very, very kind words the way of Sunshine:

Sunshine Suites is a place where you can grow your own start-up. A place to grow your own and become something more than what you already are. I rarely promote other companies, but I believe Sunshine Suites is one of few companies that actually work as a good incubator!

New York City Startup Trek 2010

By: Russ | Published: December 28, 2009 | Filed under: Announcements, events

Both offices of Sunshine NY-Tribeca and Noho-are excited to announce being a part of First Round Capital’s “NYC Startup Trek 2010″.

What it is, as explained by First Round Capital:

Are you one of the thousands of innovative startup and tech folks working at Sunshine Suites, Techspace, the NYU/Poly Incubator, New Work City, or the Incubator at RoseTech?  On January 5th, First Round Capital  is making a trip around the city and we want to meet you on our “New York City Startup Trek 2010″.  (#frctreknyc)

Five investment professionals from First Round Capital, a seed stage venture capital firm opening up a new office in NYC after making over a dozen investments here, will be visiting 8 incubator/temp office space locations throughout the city.  (And yes, we’ll be huffing it on foot!)  We’ll do a walkthrough, shake some hands, say hi (please say hi back!), and then set up shop for an hour for a very informal meet and greet.  We’ll be happy to answer any questions about technology, seed investing, our interest in the NYC tech community, etc.  This doesn’t have to be a pitch session, but we to hear about your companies and find out if we can help.

This is an incredible opportunity, and one that we at Sunshine are thrilled to participate in!

A Testimonial From Tunstall

By: Russ | Published: December 10, 2009 | Filed under: NY office space, Networking, Shared Office Space, testimonial

As Social Media Director at Sunshine NY, I put out the call regularly and often for companies at Sunshine to share their areas of expertise with the Sunshine blog, and as such the small business/entrepreneurial community at large. What I didn’t expect to get, on the heels of a filming project that will be making its debut soon here on the Sunshine NY blog, was an incredible testimonial, passed to me by David Tunstall of the Tunstall Organization, based out of Sunshine’s Tribeca office.
