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!
