Review of the Ponoko Presentation at Techcrunch40

techcrunch40-strike_through.jpg

Well our 8 minutes are over, and I have to say the nerves were very stretched, even with only watching. Dave, our CEO, did a great job and hammered out a demonstration of ordering a product and then making the product he ordered on stage. There were four other really cool companies presenting so the panel questions were split amongst those companies. But Angel Investors Ron Conway, and Yossi Vardi both mentioned that they thought there was a really strong opportunity for Ponoko in the future. Techcrunch reviewed the whole session here.
We were also able to get some of the neat products from different creators who’ve used Ponoko like Ross Stevens, Dan Emery, Sue Tyler and Yana Skaler, Rebecca Bulman either on the stage or in the presentation.

One totally unplanned but very cool result was that during Michael Arrington’s interview of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg (where he made a big announcement for Facebook application developers), a wine rack created by Dan Emery was left sitting on the table behind them during the interview. You can see the photos below that appeared in media all over the world.
