I've known Piclyf way back Twidl.it times. A few would ask why I keep on using Piclyf when there are other picture-sharing tools. The thing is I'm not really much into the product, but of the Piclyf team, the people behind the product. It's rare that you can find people here that are courageous enough to go against all odds.
So it was nice to see one of the co-founders, Eric Su, in live talking about Piclyf -- the product, their team, and their story. I'd done a short rough interview of him some time ago, which you can find here.
Most of us only know about start-ups when they're no longer start-ups, which, for me, is just the tip/ending of the story. The real story is when they're still yet to be discovered. So below, you can view the video of Eric Su talking about Piclyf's story, taken during the last meetup, and find out how they were able to survive with only one-week worth of cash for the their start-up team.
I'm sorry for the crappy quality, and I was not able to finish the whole talk since I ran out of batt. You can also find below a (incomplete) video of Eric Su's The Startup Game.
You can check the following links for Eric's slide presentation used during the meetup.

Cebu's Startup Community Getting Hotter
Before the 3rd meetup will happen, I just have to do a quick post about the first of the meet-up series this year 2011 in Cebu, Business of Software Startup and Challenges of Building One Locally. This first meet-up of 2011 was headed by Mark, who is my husband, so I'm not going to talk much about that part.
Instead, I'll talk and show you a few of the interesting people I met on that event, who, I bet, will have a big role in shaping up the Startup community culture here in Cebu. I missed on a lot of the other people who were there -- will make up on the next meet-ups.
Ms. Pauline Wade
She heads the newly opened incubator (co-working space) facility here in Cebu, UP Cebu DOST-TBI. The incubator facility in UP Cebu is all set-up, the only piece missing is you -- the rockstars, your idea, and your passion.
Jun Saa
He is the Executive Director of Cebu Educational Development Foundation for Information Technology.
Marvis Sanchez
There's a long personal story behind that, but I will not bore you with that. But he and Mark had been working for different software projects before -- Cleverlearn/Bigfoot, LearningToGo, and there were more I can no longer recall the names.

You can check few more pictures here. There were a lot of people I totally missed out on documenting. I totally felt bad about it. But anyhoo, I will try to do my best of documenting each one for the upcoming meet-ups. This series of meetups was started by Tina Amper, who is remotely organizing meet-ups here in Cebu.
To be updated with Cebu start-up meetups, you can check Tech Talks from Cebu and Beyond meetup group. I'd love to see you in one of the meetups.
