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?

antonp• 12 years ago

Colour me interested. I'm arriving a day earlier anyway.

orph4nus• 12 years ago

I might be able to get there a day early, not sure. It will depend on a couple of factors.

adwhit• 12 years 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• 12 years ago

I'd be interested too.

Wouter333• 12 years ago

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

sturadnidge• 12 years ago

If it's an evening thing, I'll be there.

As for the venue, try hitting up http://shoreditchworks.com/villagehall - they are very generous with that space when it comes to user groups and other community related stuff.

pvinis• 12 years ago

how many people can the main event have?

mziel• 12 years ago

I'll be interested as well.

pyb• 12 years ago

Why not?

heiti• 12 years ago

I am interested as well but i depend on other people so cannot commit to anything unfortunately.

ganwar• 12 years ago

I am interested.

On a related note, someone travelling from/via Brussels?

grey-area• 12 years ago

I'd be interested

olegp• 12 years ago

Yes! Ideally in the evening. Also, happy to connect with people virtually before that. Keen to talk to anyone doing B2B SaaS.

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

mtepper• 12 years ago

Could possibly use Google Campus

OliverD2• 12 years 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.

andymahood• 12 years ago

I will be there if a space can be found

andreash• 12 years ago

Would love it. Anyone else from Norway coming? pm me.

thisisnkp• 12 years ago

On the smaller side, I'd be interested in an evening pint down the pub if anyone is arriving the day before.

mmelin• 12 years ago

I'll be in the city around 7 PM Friday, up for anything after that. https://twitter.com/martinmelin

domk• 12 years ago

Definitely interested

kalmanolah2• 12 years ago

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.

stefanbuttigieg• 12 years ago

I would love to be there for this!How about 26th?

ac2u• 12 years ago

Should be arriving the day before. Count me in.

swombat5• 12 years ago

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-...

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

crucio• 12 years ago

sounds great, I'm just round the corner in the Tea building and can come after 6pm or so

mrkmcknz• 12 years ago

Great idea! See you there.

Wouter333• 12 years ago

Nice! Just signed up.

thomashrichards• 12 years ago

martinald• 12 years ago

Sounds great, see you there!

corford2• 12 years ago

Just grabbed a ticket. Thanks for taking this on Daniel!

kalmanolah2• 12 years ago

Nabbed a ticket. See you there!

abluecloud• 12 years ago

Excuse my naivety, but what will be the order of the evening? What happens at these things?

swombat5• 12 years ago

This is a social before a day of talks and networking... so, mostly drinking and eating. And a lot of talking, of course.

tariqr• 12 years ago

count me in! :)

HarveyKandola• 12 years ago

Just signed up. Anyone other than me into B2B SaaS startups?! Would love to chat.

nyssa• 12 years ago

In! Brilliant idea, see you there!

ianscarffe• 12 years ago

OliverD2• 12 years ago

Awesome thank you! If you need help with anything just send me a message on twitter @odiestel

swombat5• 12 years ago

100 People signed up! It's going to be awesome!

I've added another 50 tickets. We'll figure out a way to fit more people - there's a courtyard, and we can put up a marquee if the weather's bad.

mojokev• 12 years ago

Thanks for organizing swombat, looking forward to seeing everyone there!

joansenent• 12 years ago

Is it GrantTree venue confirmed? could you update on Evenbrite. Many thanks for organizing

swombat5• 12 years ago

Yes, absolutely confirmed!

razorshine• 12 years ago

Done!

nudpiedo• 12 years 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• 12 years ago

definitely interested! count me in.

terhechte2• 12 years 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.

jackgavigan• 12 years ago

For anyone who misses out on registering for swombat's event, check out Silicon Drinkabout - a regular Friday night after-work drinks meetup that takes place in or around Shoreditch.

jerviezo• 12 years ago

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. Signup URL: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/pre-startup-school-drinks-wit...

shinamee• 12 years ago

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.
