If you're in the Cambridge/Boston area next Monday, come join us for a hacker meetup. PG will be answering some user submitted questions on the YC process and how to increase your odds of getting in.
Check out the invite for more details and RSVP if you're able to make it.
We're bringing out some (as many as possible) Startuply companies that are hiring, too, so there will definitely be some opportunities here if you're looking to get involved.
I'd definitely like to attend, I'm a soon-to-be (full-time) entrepreneur and avid HN reader living in Boston. I'm strongly considering applying for the next YC round, so it'll be cool to see what pg and the YC summer '08 folks are up to, and hopefully meet you all in person!
I'm so tempted to go but that would be one hell of an expensive beer (airfare + stay). But... I could get a lot out of this since I want to start a startup.
I definitely need to move to a startup hub. This type of meet up would never happen around here (South Florida).
sorry for the ignorance, but i notice it says "Be sure to RSVP and secure your spot at the meetup!". does this mean there will be reserved seating? or "sorry we're full" guys guarding the door? is it not a casual, "drop by for a beer" type of thing? i'd like to attend, but i'm not 100% i can make it yet.
For now it's definitely a drop by for a beer, but if the number reaches a certain tolerance, then we need to cap it. So basically we just want to get an accurate number with the RSVPs to make sure the venue is prepared with us and we don't violate any fire laws by having too many people on the 3rd floor.
You can respond Maybe if you don't know for sure if you can make it.
The first YC08 Demo Day is only a few days after this event, so be prepared to offer moral support and feedback to those who are in the middle of that last push
I'll be coming from Newburyport. If anyone from up here is going and would like to carpool, please let me know (daniel at flyingmachinestudios dot com).
