The people who are really getting somewhere aren't the people who are always out for drinks

Too true.

As a side note, there are an awful lot of people who seem to go to a different startup event every night of the week, and then some hackathon over the weekend.

I generally find it's the other people who are getting stuff done.




I'm always up for a coffee though and I've found that to work well for most people.

Lots of people at evening startup events just want to have a drink after work. Get their card and pitch them on office hours.

Agreed. I can even be tempted by the occasional lunch as well!
