Fred Medlin recently tipped me off to a great idea from Seattle called Noonhat.
It’s the business lunch equivalent of a blind date. You enter your email address and location, and a day that works for you, and Noonhat automatically pairs you up with other people in the same area.
I think this is a great way for like-minded individuals to connect. It doesn’t appear as though many folks from Raleigh are signed up yet, so I didn’t get a date… If you feel like breaking up my pity-party, sign up for Noonhat…
There are a number of other ideas out there like the OpenCoffee Club that I think have a lot of value.
These small social interactions are the building blocks that can lead to vibrant and strong local community. It takes some commitment from people to actually show up a few times, but I for one think it’s worth the investment.
So in the spirit of building the community and my Coloradofication post, I’m open to having lunch with anyone in the RTP area that is an entrepreneur or is thinking about becoming an entrepreneur. You can reach me through the contact form on the home page of our website.
We need to build a this community. Are you in?
