Yes!! ERT (Entrepreneurs RoundTable) is bringing its long running monthly geeky event to San Francisco first time! Per popular demand! RSVP fast before seats are gone!
Keeping up with our unspoken informality, we meet to get to know each other better of their ideas and products by exchanging technical knowledge and getting feedback from each other, some even long before the beta launch. You don't need to wait for your product to be perfect. We are all been thru that, the earlier you start to show and solicit feedback, the better input you get from fellow entrepreneurs.
We are doing a "Startup Summer School" kindly offered by our sponsor Ben Wiles at Pillsbury. Heidi Mayon, a Pillsbury's resident expert, will give a general overview of legal issues for startups.
