Let me know when you may be back in the Bay Area although I would like to schedule a call with you before then if you’re available. I am based in San Jose, California, and have Consulted to 10 start-ups since 1999 (including Valt.X – based in Toronto) and can assist with Sales, OEM License and Business Development efforts as well as making introductions to potential investors so I thought that you may be interested in my background. I’ll send you my CV to your Yahoo email address and look forward to your response.

Regards,

James

A friend of mine from the MIT entrepreneurship scene in Cambridge hosts an informal monthly gathering for technology entrepreneuers in Boston. You could probably start a similar gathering on a regular basis in the Bay Area. I’ve included one of his emails below.

Greetings!

Please join me and fellow innovative & entrepreneurial friends for VentureNight at the MIT Muddy Charles pub this coming Monday night, January 24th, between 7 and 10pm. We’ll share rounds of drinks, a bit of dinner,
and informal conversation.

Weather Factor — Neither snow, nor rain, nor gloom of night will stop us from completing our rounds. Wear warm clothes.

Details — We are starting at 7pm, but show up when you can since we’ll be there till at least 10pm. I personally invite people who I know like to work on new technologies, entrepreneurial organizations, or other efforts which maximize human progress.

Legalities — Please don’t forget your ID since unconstitutional age discrimination remains in force.

Locale — Free parking and the Kendall T are a short walk from the Muddy — http://web.mit.edu/muddy — which is in the corner of MIT building 50, the
big, pillared Walker Memorial near the intersection of Ames St and Memorial Drive — http://whereis.mit.edu/map-jpg?mapterms=muddy
