Event Details
Cooler nights, a warmer IPO market, time for another feedback forum! Okay, that didn't make much sense, but getting together with a group of like-minded entrepreneurs to hash out interesting problems in the startup space does, so I hope you'll join us. We're meeting in midtown Manhattan on Monday, September 24th from 7-9PM.
Our special guest this month is Louis Difo of Paradox Optimization Technologies.
Paradox has built process optimization software based on proprietary algorithms for the manufacturing industry, and is looking to apply their technology to an interesting problem in the online world: keyword optimization for online search advertising. They are looking for ideas on:
- How to deploy worldwide online in the most secure environment so that major companies will feel fully comfortable with the security of their data.
- Building a reliable, responsive and cost effective customer service infrastructure
- Media/Advertising and Internet Media applications of the Paradox Optimization engine
- Contacts and introductions at Yahoo, Google and other media companies
- Contacts in manufacturing (plastics injection and blow molding, and other manufacturing), life sciences companies and potential financial and strategic partners to support major sales and marketing thrust.
We're meeting this month in the offices of Right Media. Please RSVP with your full name for lobby security, and please bring $5 to cover beer & pizza.

Media/Advertising/Internet Applications
In media/advertising, internet search advertising is very lucrative but very competitive. Google, Yahoo.etc.. and advertising agencies and their clients are seeking cost effective ways to optimize their ad campaign process by designing and testing “in vitro” various variables/alternatives ad campaigns and only spending money to test market the most promising ones.
The Paradox Optimization Engine can be customized to provide the flexibility to optimize search advertising and other ad campaigns/media processes.
Paradox Optimization Technologies has designed a breakthrough Optimization Engine, with the Paradox Optimization Design (POD) embedded, that can optimize up to 11 variables simultaneously rather that comparing and testing two variables at a time. The end result is finding the optimized set points, “ the sweet spot”, not only for each variable individually for the system as a whole, leading to significant productivity/efficiency/quality gains and cost savings.
