Venture Adventure

The Open Coffee Club is a concept started by Saul Klien of Index Ventures in London as a way for entrepreneurs and investors to meet and network in a casual atmosphere.  It seems to have really taken off in Europe, probably because, unlike here in the valley, there aren’t other venues for this type of activity.

While not as popular in the States, there are small gatherings here and there.  In Palo Alto is one such group.  The meeting organizer, Keith Teare is the CEO of Edgio.com.  On Tuesday, I meet Keith and James Littlejohn, both of whom are ex-pat Brits.  We had a nice conversation and their both really interesting people.   Keith said that he’s not really publicizing the meetup just yet, as it seems to be more useful to the Europeans, particularly those coming to the states.

For me, it was fun and useful, and I’ll probably show up every couple of weeks.  I always like meeting new people.
