So far we got contacts from Brian, Matt and Nandan.

I'll have two other cofounders interested, and I know a few other folks who'd be interested in starting a group. Let's have the first meeting (somewhere near Tech for sure) and then see where it leads us.

Thanks for doing this!

No Matt, Thank you, as well as everyone else, for participating. Anyone could have said "forget this guys". I think that if we get it done right, we will all benefit from it. I am not sure if one can find a missing element of their startup, but I know that being around people who have a similar goal cannot hurt.

I really think Atlanta could be primed to become the next hot spot ala the bay area. The east coast needs a central magnet for stuff like this, and I think the ATL should be it :)

There's actually a pretty large population of angels and VC's in atlanta already, but they've traditionally invested in normal startups ... just need to get enough steam going to grab their attention.

absolutely brian. :) "Atlanta could be primed to become the next hot spot..." - lets make that a self fulfilling prophecy ;) i have been lamenting over how there is not enough traction in atlanta on startups for a while now. i even found myself eagerly trying to find atlanta in most of the "top-ten cities for startups" lists, only to be continually disappointed. lets make all that change! :)
