I was fairly active in the startup scene in Boston and I'd like to get to know entrepreneurs, hackers, VCs, companies and events here. What/who must I go see here? I know in Boston I'd have a pretty long list for people.
Anyone have any advice? My lunch and drinks calendar is wide open.
I think you'll find that Columbus doesn't have much of a startup scene compared to Boston, but it could be worse.
I'm trying to get a few people together to watch the first OSU football game on Thursday night if you're interested. Grandview area. And before the game I'm planning on going to a tech-startup meetup sometime between 4:30 and 7. That could be pretty interesting and I'd be happy to meet up with you and head over if you'd like.
Let me know.
I can't recommend any people in specific (my personal network is not local), but here are some links to get you started: http://www.techcolumbus.org http://www.columbusunderground.com http://www.meetup.com/techlifecolumbus/ http://www.techlifeohio.com/
Feel free to email me, the address is in my profile.
