Peak Venture Group sponsored a social at Hondo’s Sports Bar tonight with food, drink specials, and 30 – 40 entrepreneurs and investors to mingle with. I was only able to stay for about half an hour and yet I made some interesting contacts:
- A couple of guys are writing a “Google killing” search engine. Glad they hooked up with Shaun McNerney!
- A young man just graduated from CU with a degree in marketing was looking for opportunities. His dad was in tow as a potential investor and owner of several businesses himself.
- A client needed some tax advice (to which I was fortunate enough to know the answer – given that I’m not the tax expert at our firm!)
- A couple of high powered managers were bored at their current positions and looking for new challenges.
- Davin owes me a lunch (not sure why, but I’ll never turn down a free lunch!)
All that was in just 30 minutes and as I peeled myself away, I’m sure there were more interesting discussions and connections that I missed. Next social is probably in the Fall sometime, so stay tuned and I’ll keep you posted!
