There are a massive ton of events, pretty much if you wanted to, you can find one almost every day/night, any time of the year. There are TONS of meetups, conferences, hackathons, panels, private or smaller group events, and the list goes on and on. Additionally its a bit hard not to run into someone doing a startup, especially if you're in startup centric districts like SOMA in SF or University Ave in Palo Alto and the various other areas up and down the entire Bay. On top of that, you have various things people engage in to meet other people (dinners, stuff like LetsLunch, etc...). The problem isn't really meeting people, its actually avoiding wasting time and going out too much that leads to non-quality eventful meetings.
