A while back I said the post about Kington Beta and figured that I had to be there. Since I left the island to work at Darien Lake Theme Park in Batavia, NY . I missed the last one that was held during May. So I had to come to the first one that was held.
Upon reaching Susie’s On the Terrace, I was surprised as from seeing pictures before I thought it would of been more of a conference vibe or simply to be inside, but it was outside right by the door. The turn out was intially small, but eventually grew
The ‘start-ups’ that were pitching were Socialingua, Monagis.com (they sorta dropped out), PlayJamaica.com and CaribContact)
PlayJamaica : a gaming startup started by two friends ( Str8 Games) that persons log on and complete in tournments for a prize. What I like about this, is that they know they won’t be making anytime soon, and are ok with that. They are currently just getting the word out there.
More on SociaLingua and CaribContact later..
I will be heading back this month, should carry back some picture these time.

Three week slater, I am finishing this post.
All I really remember from Kingston Beta was that most of the companies launched were local based ( with the rest hoping to expand) to the Carribean. My thing whether it be Good or Bad, is that I can’t seem to focus on anything local based. It just not my style, most things that success in Jamaica is normally Entertainment based (Parties or Gaming) or food. Those isn’t where my ‘real’ interest lies. Don’t get me wrong, I like Gaming/Party as much as the average guy probably not average Jamaican (for sure in the case of Partying). Those things just deal appeal, I have no passion for them, unless I am very passionate about something when I will NOT stay focuses on it, as I literally get 3-5 decent busienss ideas in my head daily.
Imma do it MY way..
