Fling it Girl is Lijit
A big part of what I love about working for Lijit is the tech startup community that we belong to here in Boulder. I may joke about having our investors in the same building, but it’s amazing how much support we receive from everyone in the area. Case in point: Kary and Gerhard Rivera
I met Kary at a local women in tech meetup and her husband at the second Boulder Startup Weekend. Besides just being awesome people, the two of them have teamed up to start their own venture, Fling it Girl, which is a cool way of sharing online finds. They understand the value of the Lijit search application and it was one of the first things they installed on their new blog.
After our meeting, I made sure to get them outfitted in Lijit shirts so that they could help out with our evangelism efforts. Seeing this picture made my heart flutter in appreciation. (Now that we have a Rockies picture and a Broncos picture, I’m wondering who’s going to step up and provide us with our next sporting Lijit shot.)
Big thanks to the Riveras for their support. With a community like we have here in the Silicon Mountain, it’s exciting to think just what they might accomplish with Fling it Girl.
[Full disclosure: I'm helping the Riveras out as a beta girl, testing their new site and providing feedback.]
