Startup School Europe Warmup

53 points by OliverD 12y ago

Is anyone interested in a Startup School warmup "event" in London on July 25th? Does anyone know a great location for such an event? Maybe an office of a London based startup?

For those who didn't manage to grab a ticket there's also pre-event drinks being hosted by EF at their HQ in London Bridge. There will be some YC Alum there too.

Shit, I wish I had a visa for the UK. Can something similar be hosted within the Schengen countries like Berlin or Prague where its more central.
antonp 12y ago
Colour me interested. I'm arriving a day earlier anyway.
orph4nus 12y ago
I might be able to get there a day early, not sure. It will depend on a couple of factors.
adwhit 12y ago
Is this a "food + drinks in evening" kind of warmup or "food + drinks + talks in the daytime" kind of warmup? I'm interested regardless.
lell 12y ago
I'd be interested too.

Arriving in London City around 20:00. Definitely up for something like that!

If it's an evening thing, I'll be there. As for the venue, try hitting up http://shoreditchworks.com/villagehall http://shoreditchworks.com/villagehall - they are very generous with that space when it comes to user groups and other community related stuff.

how many people can the main event have?
mziel 12y ago
I'll be interested as well.
pyb 12y ago
Why not?
heiti 12y ago
I am interested as well but i depend on other people so cannot commit to anything unfortunately.
ganwar 12y ago
I am interested. On a related note, someone travelling from/via Brussels?

Yes! Ideally in the evening. Also, happy to connect with people virtually before that. Keen to talk to anyone doing B2B SaaS. https://twitter.com/olegpodsechin https://twitter.com/olegpodsechin https://www.linkedin.com/in/olegpodsechin https://www.linkedin.com/in/olegpodsechin

I'd be interested if it's afternoon/evening and not a million miles away from a tube stop.

Could possibly use Google Campus
- OliverD 12y ago
  I checked the event calendar for the google campus. However, it seems that there is an invite only launch party for a startup at July 25th. It would be awesome if you are able to organise a room on the google campus.

I will be there if a space can be found
andreash 12y ago
Would love it. Anyone else from Norway coming? pm me.
thisisnkp 12y ago
On the smaller side, I'd be interested in an evening pint down the pub if anyone is arriving the day before.
mmelin 12y ago
I'll be in the city around 7 PM Friday, up for anything after that. https://twitter.com/martinmelin https://twitter.com/martinmelin
domk 12y ago
Definitely interested

If it's something like a casual visit to a pub, I'll bite. For the time being my party's having difficulty finding a place to stay though.

I would love to be there for this!How about 26th? http://twitter.com/karambinu http://twitter.com/karambinu http://mt.linkedin.com/in/stefanbuttigieg/ http://mt.linkedin.com/in/stefanbuttigieg/

Should be arriving the day before. Count me in.

What a brilliant idea! I'm happy to host at the GrantTree offices! We're in the heart of Shoreditch. Can host about 100 people for drinks and will happily provide beers, wine and possibly pizza at no cost. Also, we have a pool table. Who is taking point for organising this? Edit: OK, I'll take point on this! Creating an eventbrite meetup as we speak (free of course). Here's the Eventbrite URL: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/startup-school-europe-warmup-tickets-12175763035 https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/startup-school-europe-warmup-... Could the OP or a mod please add this into the initial post? Also, please do register that you're coming, so that we can get an idea of numbers! Depending on numbers, we'll get Pizza, a beer barrel, etc. If just 20 people sign up we probably won't bother ;-) Update: 24 already... looking good, keep it coming :-) Update 2: 40! Update 3: 60! Thought I might as well submit it here since this thread has fallen off the page: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7989159 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7989159

- mrkmcknz 12y ago
  Great idea! See you there.

  Thanks for taking point on this Daniel, I'll see you there!
nudpiedo 12y ago
could be great... someone already booked vacations. Next time would be great to know it a bit more in advance (especially for the ones wishing to combine it with corporate jobs).
yongers 12y ago
definitely interested! count me in.
terhechte 12y ago
I'd love to do that, however, I'm only arriving at 21:30. I hope it's still going strong by the time I'm there.
