We just got access to Founder Dating in Las Vegas. It's a great resource. I enjoy not getting pitched by biz people looking for developers, but instead have meaningful conversations about starting up businesses.<p>And long walks on the beach.
I was a bit confused as to what Founder Dating was. It's not actually a single "meet up," but rather an online community.<p>We opened up Founder Dating for SLC in just a few hours. I love the program, and those behind it seem super sharp. The reasons I'm a fan:<p>1. 50/50 tech/biz. Everyone knows the ratios are usually not this way, but something awesome happens when tech founders aren't outrageously outnumbered.<p>2. Exclusivity. This might not be the right word, but having some control over who is in is very valuable.
Founder Dating consistently does a great job in keeping the quality up as they open in each city. Agreed that the exclusivity aspect of it is one of the most valuable aspects.
