*The times shown may change, depending on DST settings
City/Town: Zurich
Event Type: Coffee/Chat
Meeting Point: Starbucks, Central

OK. Meeting for entrepreneurs in the planning/startup/growth phase. Idea is to chat to others, share ideas/(war)stories, have fun and build up some positive energy!

I've also been to some bad events where I've effectively been a captive audience for somebody to advertise at me. Similarly, events also attract some who go to target specific people to find XYZ who will be useful to push their agenda/project. So to keep it as a friendly, informal gathering, the ground rules are:
  • No pitching to others unless requested
  • No seeking/offering of investments (of course, this might happen in the course of conversation, but what I want to avoid is somebody going around pitching to everybody, or a investor handing out cards to everybody)
  • No pushing your products/services (we're here to chat, not to be sold to!)
  • No networking sharks ("Oh, you have a taxi business, hey I have these small adverts which you could perhaps put in each of your cabs...")
Sorry to have to impose rules, but there are other meetings more suitable for raising capital, or pitching to investors.
RSVP'd Yes: 5 (3 members and 2 guests)
  • dino - Thanks for organizing. Look forward to it.
  • Phil_MCR + 2 guests

RSVP'd No: 3
  • Rabina - Sorry - in London. Would be helpful if you could post a little earlier?

RSVP sign-ups for this event are now closed.

Rabina, sorry for the last minute thing. I was going to organise this for next year, but the day became free for me and I'm already meeting 2 other entrepreneurs that day so thought would open it out.

Thanks for those that made it at such short notice (esp. when nursing a bad hangover! ) It was really good to chat to you!
