Report: StartupDrinks! (16)
StartupDrinks was awesome yesterday. It was easily the best event I’ve been to in Montreal lately.
Thousand thanks to QuebecValley, MontrealStartup, RedNod, NorthGeek, MontrealPython, Alexis Smirnov, VC-TV, Austin Hill who wrote and buzzed about the event.
The evening was great, with people coming up with great new exciting projects and startups.
We had the pleasure of having people from Montreal Girl Geeks, JLA VenturesBlackBerry fund, iNovia Capital, BDO, MontrealStartup, php Quebec, fellow pythonistas, javascripters, c++/assembler programmers, railers, 3D software engineers, Maxster from Proje(c)t Hackerspace, Morgan Tocker from MySQL/Sun, Praized, Flow Consulting, CoRadiant, CakeMail, future BarCampers, linkbaiters :-), hackers and “security experts” who came up for RECON ‘08, and a reporter from the Lien Multimedia. It was also great to see people coming up from Boston, Calgary and Toronto. I certainly miss people here (sorry couldn’t meet everyone)
Alok C. even planned for the event a modeling fashion show *cough* and fireworks **cough, cough**
Again, thanks to everyone who came for StartupDrinks. See you all at the next one!
Update: A team also broadcasted live the event on Justin.tv
Great job guys! I had a great time and got to meet some new contacts and hang out with old friends. Thanks for these events. What you are doing for the Montreal tech community is so essential.

We had a good time. Thanks!
Hey guys,
Glad to see that everyone had a good time! We were planning to have startupdrinks once a month near the end of each month. But if all of you are interested, we can host it twice a month. Let myself or Heri know what your preferences are….
cheers!

And ummm..I’ll try to bring in more fashion shows and fireworks … ;)

It’s looks like fun. I should have gone to that. When is the next one?

I would have *loved* to have gone, but I didn’t find out about it until that morning’s blog post, and I had work deadlines. Is there any way you can schedule the event on the same day every month and/or let people know more in advance? I’m sorry I missed it :(
The StartupDrinks are always the last wednesday of the month (for Long and Adele) so the next one is in a month.
Tanya, John, Christian, Rob, thanks, hope to see you there next time

Hi Heri and Alok! Thanks for organizing another great event. Let’s do it again soon! The fireworks were a very classy touch; I look forward to watching you guys outdo yourselves for next time. ;)
Congrats Heri and Alok,
The event looks great! Too bad I was in France and I couldn’t attend to it.
Count me in for the next one. The place looks gorgeous!
