Come by the RescueTime offices at StartPad.org from 6.30pm on February 25 to talk with Harj Taggar from Y Combinator and several Seattle based YC alumni. Harj was a founder of Auctomatic, acquired by Live Current Media in 2008. Tony Wright of RescueTime, Mike Miller of Cloudant, Niall Smart of Echodio and Phil Yuen, founder of TextPayMe (acquired by Amazon in 2006), will also be there. We'll be bringing in pizza and beers and hanging out all evening to talk about startups and answer any of your questions about YC.

This is a great opportunity for those who have applied, or are considering applying, for the next YC round to tell us more about your application in person and learn about YC from founders who have been through the process.

Are there things like this in San Francisco? I kinda assumed there would be when I moved out here, but haven't heard of any yet.

We've been completely slack about this sort of thing, but now that we have Harj we're going to start.

There's Hackers and Founders, that I organize. We're based on the penninsula, but we're going to start having meetups in SF every 4-6 weeks. http://www.hackersandfounders.com

I'm giving my wife a spa day this weekend so I can come to this ...

Awesome! I might drive down from Vancouver just for this.

hmm I might head to Vancouver afterwards for the weekend, any chance you could ping me? harj AT Ycombinator DOT com

It would be awesome if you could stop by Vancouver, there are a lot of startups here!

Was there one in the bay area?

not yet, we'll be doing a few meetups in different cities over the next few weeks.

would austin, tx happen to be on your list of cities?

yes, we will be doing a meetup during sxsw on Mon 15th march at submerged from 5 - 7. pg will be at that one also as he's on a sxsw panel. will send out more details soon.

Definitely waiting for the Los Angeles one!

Biz dev! Congrats Harj.

Great idea. I'll definitely plan to stop by, sounds like a good way to get some questions answered about YC and chat with like-minded people.

I will be there for sure.

Sweet!
