Yesterday was demo day for the first class graduating from the Alchemist Accelerator.
Alchemist's focus is on startups monetizing by selling to enterprises.

Particularly worth attention

- SendTask demonstrated a nice task manager integrated into Gmail.
- Selligy have built a streamlined mobile toolset for sales people.
- Cambrian Genomics have a process for creating DNA at high volume and low cost.
- Xockets are building I/O accelerating hardware and software for commodity X86 servers.

Ravi Bellani and his team pulled together a well run event. As one of the mentors, it's been interesting to get to know the startups and help at a new accelerator. I've been working most closely with Xockets.
