Any plans for the weekend?
This event brings together a small group of local entrepreneurs over a cup of coffee, in a relaxing and informal atmosphere. It's your chance to make new connections, share advice, and brainstorm new ideas with the people that are trying to build a new project or start a freelancing career.
This event is self-organized for the local startup community. If you arrive first at the cafe, just pick a table and post in the group comments below where you are sitting and how to identify you (e.g. shirt color).
Are you interested in leading this event on a weekly basis? Send us a quick email to [masked] to get more details.
Enjoy your coffee with new friends!
