Notes
Alan Tear: founding partner of Betaspring
atear@betaspring.com
Betaspring focuses on technology startups, taking companies from ready to go to market through their projects in mentorship.
We want to take the lessons learned through Betaspring and apply it to Digital City.
Gary Glassman: president and executive producer of Providence Pictures
gary@providencepictures.com
The idea is to make this invible community visibile in a digital media production hub.
1) We want to bring people out of the woodwork.
2) We also want to create a center with production facilities, particularily a high end facility.
3) Third is the educational compenent, bridging the gap between education and career and creating a digital literate work force.
Our first meeting focused on space, and there Chris Anderson (AS220) stepped forward with a location for us. WIth generous support from the RI Foundation we are opening soon.
Renee Hobbs (hobbs@uri.edu): our goal is to take a look at the recomendations of this draft of the white paper, take it, and modify.
Bill Densmore (wpdensmore@gmail.com): Give each of us an idea of why you came here, what you're bringing (knowledge/passion), and what you hope to take away.
