We just passed a milestone that should have been a thunderclap heard round the world. Instead, it slipped past with barely a whisper.
May 25, 2011 was the semicentennial of a great moment in history. In his 1961 “Special Message to the Congress on Urgent Needs,” a young president painted an insanely bold picture of our future in the language of a dare: We’ll put a man on the moon and get him back safely—within the decade.
The truly crazy thing, of course, is that we did. >>>

It’s a tie! Joel Korpi’s Rockify and Marie-Janine Saris’ Home Swappers Club received the same number of votes as the best businesses of those presented at yesterday’s roundtable through a poll on our 1M/1M Facebook page. Congratulations to you both! In case you missed it, you can listen to the recording here, read Sramana Mitra’s recap here, and register for upcoming roundtables here.
During this week’s roundtable, once again, we had an international group of entrepreneurs presenting from Buenos Aires, Argentina; Warsaw, Poland; Geneva, Switzerland; Sherbrooke, Canada; Oakland, California; and Austin, Texas. In addition, we had attendees from many other parts of the world. Let’s dive in and see what they each are working on.
Rockify
First up, Joel Korpi from Austin, Texas, pitched Rockify, a platform for transforming video content into multiple device friendly formats, process payments and help content producers distribute and monetize content more widely. Joel has one anchor customer right now and has validated his assumptions based on that case study. He also has raised one round of seed funding and is ready for another.
