Startup School Europe Warmup

53 points by OliverD 12 years ago · 54 comments · 1 min read


Is anyone interested in a Startup School warmup "event" in London on July 25th?

Does anyone know a great location for such an event? Maybe an office of a London based startup?

What a brilliant idea!

I'm happy to host at the GrantTree offices! We're in the heart of Shoreditch. Can host about 100 people for drinks and will happily provide beers, wine and possibly pizza at no cost.

Also, we have a pool table.

Who is taking point for organising this?

Edit: OK, I'll take point on this! Creating an eventbrite meetup as we speak (free of course).

Here's the Eventbrite URL: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/startup-school-europe-warmup-...

Could the OP or a mod please add this into the initial post? Also, please do register that you're coming, so that we can get an idea of numbers!

Depending on numbers, we'll get Pizza, a beer barrel, etc. If just 20 people sign up we probably won't bother ;-)

Update: 24 already... looking good, keep it coming :-)

Update 2: 40!

Update 3: 60!

Thought I might as well submit it here since this thread has fallen off the page: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7989159

If it's an evening thing, I'll be there.

As for the venue, try hitting up http://shoreditchworks.com/villagehall - they are very generous with that space when it comes to user groups and other community related stuff.

For those who didn't manage to grab a ticket there's also pre-event drinks being hosted by EF at their HQ in London Bridge. There will be some YC Alum there too. Signup URL: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/pre-startup-school-drinks-wit...

If it's something like a casual visit to a pub, I'll bite. For the time being my party's having difficulty finding a place to stay though.

Yes! Ideally in the evening. Also, happy to connect with people virtually before that. Keen to talk to anyone doing B2B SaaS.

For anyone who misses out on registering for swombat's event, check out Silicon Drinkabout - a regular Friday night after-work drinks meetup that takes place in or around Shoreditch.

Could possibly use Google Campus

  • OliverDOP 12 years ago

    I checked the event calendar for the google campus. However, it seems that there is an invite only launch party for a startup at July 25th.

    It would be awesome if you are able to organise a room on the google campus.

Shit, I wish I had a visa for the UK. Can something similar be hosted within the Schengen countries like Berlin or Prague where its more central.

mmelin 12 years ago

I'll be in the city around 7 PM Friday, up for anything after that. https://twitter.com/martinmelin

Is this a "food + drinks in evening" kind of warmup or "food + drinks + talks in the daytime" kind of warmup? I'm interested regardless.

terhechte 12 years ago

I'd love to do that, however, I'm only arriving at 21:30. I hope it's still going strong by the time I'm there.

thisisnkp 12 years ago

On the smaller side, I'd be interested in an evening pint down the pub if anyone is arriving the day before.

corford 12 years ago

I'd be interested if it's afternoon/evening and not a million miles away from a tube stop.

heiti 12 years ago

I am interested as well but i depend on other people so cannot commit to anything unfortunately.

orph4nus 12 years ago

I might be able to get there a day early, not sure. It will depend on a couple of factors.

ganwar 12 years ago

I am interested.

On a related note, someone travelling from/via Brussels?

Wouter33 12 years ago

Arriving in London City around 20:00. Definitely up for something like that!

nudpiedo 12 years ago

could be great... someone already booked vacations. Next time would be great to know it a bit more in advance (especially for the ones wishing to combine it with corporate jobs).

antonp 12 years ago

Colour me interested. I'm arriving a day earlier anyway.

andreash 12 years ago

Would love it. Anyone else from Norway coming? pm me.
