Montreal StartupDrinks June 25th, bring friends & colleagues

By Heri Jun 19th 2008 in Events

Alok Chowdhury and I are launching a StartupDrinks next wednesday, from 5.30pm, at Café des éclusiers. The place is Café des Éclusiers, 400 rue de la Commune Ouest (map)

StartupDrinks

Here is a description of StartupDrinks:

A simple concept: startup culture in cities around the world gathers around a bar to have a pint and discuss what they are working on, what they need help with and what they can do for each other.

But really, this is open to all technology enthusiasts, and we hope to turn into a regular meetup for the local technology community. The first version (photos) gathered a crowd of 15-20 entrepreneurs, developers, investors, ISV owners. Now, we’re aiming to gather (much) more people and making sure you get to meet new & existing connections.

Now, for this upcoming meetup, we don’t have yet any fancy schedule — just come, have a drink and chat with people. We’ll be going along the crowd though and try to discuss if there is interest into getting with more features for the next StartupDrinks, for instance getting a company/startup to use the event as a launch party.

So that’s it folks! Come and bring friends! If you also know “wannapreneurs” or developers who haven’t yet come to local events, forward the event details to them!
