There is a ton of casual tech stuff going on in Seattle. check out http://www.seattletechcalendar.com http://www.seattletechcalendar.com, or (disclosure: my blog) http://fourthirtysix.com/tech-sci/ http://fourthirtysix.com/tech-sci/
We're not lacking the meetups, the events (Seattle 2.0 awards tonight!) We're lacking the leadership and super-stars participation in the community. While I see Dave Schappell at Hops and Chops, I don't feel like others mingling with us casual masses without it being self promotional.
I want to go to some event (and Hops and Chops seems like a good venue), have a real conversation with the CTO of a startup about solving some tech or product challenge. Or I want to hear about how some CEO got started over a beer. And I want to meet another super-star who's actively looking for help.
- vertr 15y agoI agree. The Seattle startup culture reflects the city's passive agressive and cold nature. CEO's and other execs stick to their small circles.
