OpenCoffee Club

Every Wednesday 1/30 - 12/24 (8:30AM) @ Andala Coffee House
286 Franklin St Cambridge, MA 02139   Map
417 people interested

Fellow web entrepreneurs and VCs gather once a week in Boston to grab some coffee, free WiFi, and chat about what's new.

Around the world, tech entrepreneurs and investors are meeting regularly to drink coffee, network and hopefully do deals. No more of the old-school "please send us your executive summary before we'll even talk to you". A place to find opportunities.

Where and when is it?
Held every Wed morning from 8:30a-10:30am at Andala Coffee in Cambridge.

Why?
Well, one of the things I've heard repeatedly is:
1. investors are inaccessible
2. entrepreneurs need regular physical space to meet, not just each other but also also network with investors and corporates

We all get an enormous amount from informal contact with both entrepreneurs and investors.

On OpenCoffee: "What really stood out for me this week was the feeling of people clustering into short meetings and really getting work done. OpenCoffee is deliberately during the day to encourage real professional networking rather than social networking - so the vibe of people getting things done and making connections is really excellent."

    While not really by design, to be honest it is mostly for tech folks, and mostly consumer-oriented one's at that. We've certainly kept it open to everyone, but have noticed that when non-tech non-consumer folks come by they tend to have less common ground to talk about things. That's just the way the community has developed.

    Good question. I have wondered how much diversity they really have. It seems it is overwhelmingly for software type of people only. I don't know if that is by design or by default based on who attends. My impression from the description, etc. is that it is more by design. It might be good to just check it out anyway, if you have the time.

    Is this geared more toward people in the tech industry? Or toward people who are looking for funding? Since you mentioned VC in the description, I wasn't sure. I started my business this year and it is a holistic health counseling/support/education practice, so I am not sure if I would fit the mold of what the Open Coffee sessions are like. Can someone elaborate? Thanks!

    Just a quick note to all the OpenCoffee regular and newcomers. Since a bunch of us are developing Facebook apps, I thought you'd want to know there is a meeting of local Facebook Developers at Andala Coffee tonight (Tue) at 7pm.
