First Round Capital Office Hours (and Free Coffee)
CORRECTION - My initial post had the wrong date. The correct date is Tuesday, October 21st.
We live in interesting times. Despite the recent doom and gloom forecasts for startup companies, we at First Round Capital are still investing in new companies and actively seeking talented entrepreneurs to back. My colleagues on the west coast are holding our first Office Hours next Tuesday. As Kent wrote in his blog post:
"At Office Hours, we’d love to meet with entrepreneurs, people thinking about becoming entrepreneurs or folks who would like join a start-up. We’ll be available for a bunch of informal ~15 minute chats. There’s no agenda. Ask us what we think of the market environment or share an idea for a company – we’ll be sure to have plenty of napkins available to help draft that first product plan. We’ll listen, share our perspective and pay for the coffee (which may be of more value than our advice).
When: Tuesday, October 21st , 11am – 1pm
Where: University Café, 271 University Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94301
All are welcome -- if you think you'll drop by, please RSVP, so they can get a sense of how many people are coming. I'll be in town that week, so I'll be there from 11 until noon...
