If you are tech entrepreneur or startup executive we would be pleased to have you attend the StartUp Exchange Meeting. The meetings are meant to be a discussion among peers about relevant topics that will both educate and help with problem solving. Some of the attendees are likely going through the same issue and have ideas to share, and many of the folks who attend have started many companies so have wisdom to share.

  Participation is limited to tech entrepreneurs or startup executives only so service providers are not able to attend.  We have plenty of space but we ask that you now RSVP so we have an idea of how many cups to bring for the beer.

Finding the place is pretty tough (kind-of like starting a tech company)

Park close to the building, under the overpass on Morrison would be ideal Enter the building from Morrison and go up the stairs Go up the freight elevator to the 7th floor, likely someone will be assisting the freight elevator operation

Since there are only tech entrepreneurs all conversation can be open and honest. The agendas will be loose - basically we just want everyone to be able to talk about their issues with their peers. The candid dialogue will allow for collaboration in supporting each others companies. Sometimes we might have themes or guests but the evening will often self organize.

Thanks Chime Software for letting us use your awesome office and for the keg!

Participants can also Request to join the Tech Entrepreneur ONLY Group on the Social Network where candid conversations and requests can be taken online.

Contact Bryce Yonker with any questions.
