Seattle Entrepreneurs

[shaggy]

I am looking to form a local entrepreneur club in the Seattle, WA area. If anyone here if from Seattle and is interested in meeting up to get together and discuss everything related to entrepreneurship and start networking with other entrepreneurs in your local area, feel free to leave me a PM or reply to this thread. I am looking to hopefully meet up sometime in mid to late May as the first meeting (this will essentially give us time to find more people to make showing up worthwhile). So again, if you're in the area and interested, let me know and I'll try to find a mutual meeting place and plan everything out.

Have you considered creating a networking website?

[shaggy]

Indeed. I have made a few other contacts and looking to get a new group formed. I've hit up several other networking sites, entrepreneurship sites, meetup, etc... and contacted some groups on facebook to find local members wanting to create a new networking entrepreneurship get together. Unfortunately a lot of the existing ones in the area are not exactly what I am looking for. Are you from Seattle too?

Looks like we can get the ball rollin on this one. Those interested in meeting up, please send me a PM. I'll try and get a group going.

I am interested too.

Okay looks like I'll set a date for Saturday June 14th for the first entrepreneurship gathering. Anyone interested, please send me a direct PM rather than reply to this thread so I can get an accurate count. Location will be announced closer towards the date when I know how many people plan on going to find a place that can accommodate the size.

If for any reason the 14th conflicts with your schedule, please let me know asap, otherwise this date is final for the first meeting. Meeting time will probably be sometime in the afternoon or evening. Either 3pm or 6pm depending on which time is more convenient for people. When PMing me, please include your time of preference.

I know this is my first post - but I *just* discovered this site, and found your thread on the main page. I'm from Seattle too. Want to meet up before June? I know of another person who may be interested in coming, too. I'll send you a PM.

Hi Lappy,

Haven't gotten a PM yet. I prefer to wait till June to get more people together. If we happen to get a good group going, I'll consider moving the date closer.

I've sent you the PM. I can't write a PM in 2 minutes :P

[shaggy]

Got it. Will add you in. Anyone else?

any update on new date?

[shaggy]

Hi,

I haven't gotten much more than a few responses on here. Still talking to some people from other sources. I will see about moving it to 3rd week of May or so. Update on actual date will be announced here.

I am also telling people on other forums about our meeting.

[shaggy]

Awesome! Let me know how that goes. Looks like May it is!
