The WordPress community is, without a doubt, full of people with creative ideas for plugins, themes, tools for non-profit and for-profit businesses, and more. What many of these creative souls lack is a direction for guidance and mentorship. That’s where Guppy Tank comes in. It’s the kinder, gentler pitch panel. Meg and Michelle have invited members of the WordPress community to pitch their ideas to the judges. They selected three finalists who will appear at WordCamp Philly. They will receive feedback, and potentially win a mentorship with established WordPress companies for advice on designing, marketing, and developing their ideas.
Cheer on finalists Ben Townsend, Nikki Minkinow, and Wolf Bishop at this fun session.
