0:00-1:00 It's a TWiST London meetup live from Central London!
1:00-3:00 Welcome to Steve Schofield, the TWiST London organizer.
3:00-4:30 Tyler, how are you liking the bike?
4:30-5:00 We'll be inviting the winner of tonight's competition to the 2012 LAUNCH Conference.
5:00-6:00 Thank you to GoToMeeting for sponsoring the show! Congratulations to the winner of the GoToMeeting contest, Chris Cox of Savannah Music.
6:00-6:30 Thank you to the London sponsors Orrick and Pitchie.
6:30-7:45 Welcome to Steve!
7:45-9:30 Introducing Avi Patchava, founder of Kliqed. (Watch the pitch.)
9:30-10:00 So there are three simple steps to having a meetup on your calendar?
10:00-10:45 Tyler: Did you ever consider calling this Lonely No More?
10:45-12:00 Tyler, what did you think of the pitch?
12:00-12:45 Jason gives the pitch a 7.
12:45-14:00 What's the business that comes out of this?
14:00-15:00 Jason's advice: Pick a small area and do it well. Nice work, Avi.
15:00-16:20 Introducing Zoe Peden, founder of MyChoicePad. (Watch the pitch.)
16:20-18:00 Jason: I get this and I was playing iPad games with my daughter just this morning.
18:00-18:45 Jason thinks the pitch was good but wanted to hear an example.
18:45-20:00 Jason's advice: The pitch needs a little more focus and specificity.
20:00-20:30 Tyler: I give the pitch a 6.5. Jason gives the business model a 9.
20:30-21:30 Nice work, Zoe, thank you.
21:30-23:30 Thank you to Squarespace for sponsoring the show.
24:30-26:15 Introducing Sam Sethi of Skadoosh. (Watch the pitch.)
26:15-28:30 This is a great idea that a lot of people have tried to make work, but nobody has yet.
28:30-29.00 Jason: If there was a game around the 'hot or not' concept I think it would do well.
29:00-20:00 Tyler: The pitch was very verbal. I give it a 6.5/7. I give the idea an 8.5.
30:00-32:30 What's the game mechanic element of the site?
32:30-33:30 Great idea, Sam. Jason changes his pitch score from a 6.5 to an 8.
33:30-35:15 Nice job, thank you Sam. And thank you to the other companies who presented in London: LifeSort (lifesort.com), Vungle (vungle.com) and Eeve (geteeve.com).
35:15-35:30 Steve, how did the other companies do?
35:30-36:15 Tyler: It's surprising that more startups don't come out of London, based on the talent we've seen from these meetups.
36:15-37:00 Jason and Tyler debate the merits of each pitch.
37:00-39:00 Jason loves Walker shortbread cookies but is concerned about the calorie count.
39:00-40:00 Jason ranks MyChoicePad first, Skadoosh second, then Kliqued third. Tyler says Kliqued first, Skadoosh second, then MyChoicePad third.
40:00-40:30 MyChoicePad and Kliqued will both be offered a table at LAUNCH and everyone who pitched gets two tickets.
40:30-41:00 Thank you to Steve for organizing.
41:00-42:00 Jason and Tyler plan their next London to Paris trip.
42:00-43:30 Thank you to everyone in London. And thank you to Orrick and Pitchie for helping make the meetup possible.
43:30-43:45 Thank you to Squarespace and GoToMeeting for sponsoring the show today.
