Welcome back, everyone! Hope you had a great August off. Time to get the Geek Dinners re-started full force:

Earlier this month Providence’s Betaspring* unveiled another bumper crop of start-ups. One of the standouts – Mosec (as in “mobile secretary”) – was founded by a young team from Texas comprised of a former professional poker player, a child actor and a professional martial artist. (I’m not making this up.)

Mosec’s initial product is a mobile app aimed at CRM users. It enables you after any phone call to create a “voice note”, auto-transcribe it, and post it into to your CRM system. They’ve already integrated with 3 popular CRM systems – Salesforce, Highrise and Batchbook from Providence-based Batchblue.

Best of all, post-Betaspring, the team has decided to continue building Mosec right here in Providence (we love it when that happens).

At the September Geek Dinner, Bernard (the gambler), David (the fighter) and Austin (the actor) will give an overview of their company and demo their fast-evolving service.

See you there!

As always, for first-timers here are the details on the Geek Dinners:

• The event itself is FREE!

 

• It’s totally casual. Wear whatever, bring whoever, arrive and take off whenever! And don’t worry about eating or not – come famished or full – eating is optional, and frankly, the least of the festivities (that’s not say the food isn’t good – it’s actually great)

 

• Topics of conversation will vary as they will at any gathering of geeks, but many of us will be talking about AJAX, mash-ups, start-ups, new devices, innovative business models, interaction design, social computing, digital art, web services, etc. etc. etc.

 

• There is Wi-Fi so bring your connected device of choice.
