Foster.ly Launches Revamped Website for Startups
Last week our friends at Foster.ly launched the new iteration of their website for the DC startup and entrepreneur community. The site is a one-stop shop for techies, business newbies and experienced entrepreneurs alike looking for news, resources and networking opportunities in DC/MD/VA. In addition to the new format of the site, Foster.ly now has Study Hall (formerly Study Hall DC), a fun and unique co-working environment open to anyone seeking collaboration and feedback.
To celebrate the launch, Foster.ly held a kick-off party with more than 400 attendees at Eden Lounge in DC. What stood out to me was the excitement attendees expressed at the opportunity to support the startup community. Foster.ly brings the people together and these people are hungry for local resources and connections! The local startup scene continues to grow because of this enthusiasm and Foster.ly has some exciting things planned for the rest of 2012 to support this trend.
The party was also a chance to introduce the first Foster.ly Board, which includes leaders from the startup and business community.

Kudos to the Foster.ly team for a successful launch. I encourage everyone to sign up today to join the Foster.ly community!
