OpenCoffee Club

  • When:Every Wednesday 1/30/08 - 3/24 (8:30AM)
  • Where: Andala Coffee House
  • Address: 286 Franklin Street Cambridge, MA   Map
  • Cost: free, no rsvp necessary

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."

    Hey folks, I really enjoyed the Wednesday morning with you all. Many interesting conversations emerged and time past fast. Led to attending PodCampBoston last weekend ;-)

    Just a note that this Wed we'll be joined by some that are getting suggestions on a project called "Venture Cafe"-- think of it as half startup hotel, half coffee shop, 24hour opencoffee club kind of deal.

    Hello,
    I would like to come to a meeting, but morning is impossible. Do you ever meet after 5pm (not meaning the next morning)?
    Thanks

    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.
