So Startup Weekend Boise has drawn to a close! Here is a list of the companies that were formed during the event.

1.) Morgans Journey (http://morgansjourney.org) – Morgan’s Journey is a social network where families and individuals fighting disease can come together and educate each other about the finer points of living with a disease and dealing with side affects as well as provide support for one another. It was amazing to have a chance to meet Morgan! Thank you for coming in!

2.) Yaro (http://helloyaro.com) – Yaro is a platform that gives you control over your social media presence by providing one location where you can manage the content you publish to your social networks.

3.) Barteri.Us (http://barteri.us) – Is an online platform that allows users to make trades for goods and services among themselves. Users could trade legal service for web design or swap tools.

4.) MobiDealer – Is a platform that enables car dealerships to communicate with customers via SMS texting rather than putting customers through the painful process of trying to sync up with a mechanic while playing phone tag.

We had a blast in Boise and were so well recived by the community, the Watercooler and the local press. Thank you everyone that was involved in making this event happen!
