Winter Wonderland 2006 Wrapup
A sample of some of the logos from STIRR’s Winter Wonderland event.
On December 15, 2006 STIRR brought together over 120 startups for Winter Wonderland a full-scale holiday gala and sit down dinner for small startups that couldn’t afford a big end of year event for themselves. The event took place at the Exploratorium in San Francisco with a live Acapella group, Swing Band, terrific sit-down catered dinner and a space full of wonderful interactive science exhibits.
Gabriel Venture Partners brought together over 22k worth of amazing giveaways during the evening including a 42″ plasma TV, 150 high-end ipod stereo docks and more additional goodies than we could count. No one left empty handed.
A huge round of thank to the Gabriel team and all of the event sponsors that helped make the event possible. Also a special shoutout to Brian Solis for inspiring the name and hooking us up with Four Vines (including driving the bottles to us), Brian you’re the best. We look forward to next year!

Jingle Bells
Dishing out the dough
In the new Web two-oh way
O’er Sand Hill we go
Seeding all the way
Bells on cell phones ring
Mobile deals look bright
What fun it is when startups sell to Google overnight.Jingle Bells, YouTube sells,
Facebook’s on the way,
Oh what fun it is to do
A hot deal every day.Jingle Bells, YouTube sells,
Facebook’s on the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
The bubble of the day.A year or two ago
I thought I’d make a play
Put five million bucks
In a high-priced Series A…The team was rather poor
The business plan was weak
But what the heck, it’s AJAX-based
We sold it at the peak.Jingle Bells, YouTube sells
Facebook’s on the way!
Oh, what fun it is to do
A hot deal every day! (ka-ching!)
