Ask HN: How to network in Bay Area?

Hi,

I'm a software engineer (focused on fronted) from Islamabad and visiting Bay Area 17th of this month. Along with my colleague Haris (who is focused on data-backend), we had been part of a Santa Clara based HealthCare IT startup, where we developed visualization systems for complex medical decisions. The startup unfortunately ran out of money after about 5 years which forced us to look for new opportunities.

Haris and I would like to be part of a growing startup where we could help them build complex dashboards or user interfaces. I'm wondering, while I am in Bay Area for 3 weeks, what would be the best way to find/meet startup folks who might need our skill-sets. Will appreciate your ideas/pointers/suggestions.

Thanks, Umar
