Birdsong 3 is a collective of Entrepreneurs, Angels, Advisors, Mentors, Marketers and Activists focused on introducing brands to disruptive technology and investing in seed stage companies specifically in the consumer internet, SoLoMo and second screen digital entertainment verticals.
Our members have lived in the trenches of the corporate brand and entrepreneurial communities for years. With that experience we've refined the art of delivering innovative results to our partners with a focus on relevance as the key to return on investment.
What we like to do is facilitate the handshake between brands, founders, financiers, technologists and consumers with efficiency, credibility and style.

Happy birthday #bobdylan close your eyes, close the door, you don’t have to worry no more
Hope everyone is having the best World Goth Day ever!
Is there such a thing as a “best World Goth Day” or is that paradoxical?

The Next Great Technology Platform: The Bicycle
Bikes have already changed our relationships to each other and the urban environment, but consider the potential for so much more.
Imagine a future where cities go beyond bike lanes and build the urban environment around bikes. What would a bike highway look like? What would city life be like without cars? Imagine a healthier city — no more kids in the Bronx with asthma — and reduced automobile fatalities.
The biggest opportunity here is that given what we know about how bikes change our social dynamics, how would this play out on a mass scale? Amplify that with sensing and tracking technologies on board the human battery-powered bike platform and the possibilities are endless. Handgrips that monitor your pulse and heart rate multiplied by millions will help us better understand the people who live in entire neighborhoods, and the pace of life from a global perspective. Such data will inspire exciting design solutions.

Something similar happened with #Dome
The snazzy looking watch above is the most-financed project in KickStarter history: the Pebble Smartwatch. Note to entrepreneurs: When the founders at Pebble couldn’t get any funding from VCs, they decided to take their watch to Kickstarter. It worked out pretty well for them—they set a goal of $100,000 and broke that after their first day. They ended up raising $10.1 million in total, and announced a few days ago that they’d be stopping their fundraising a week early to begin providing their supporters with the best possible watch they can make. So don’t be discouraged if your pitch initially gets turned down by — it might just be the best thing to ever happen to Pebble.
