Is anyone interested in a Startup School warmup "event" in London on July 25th?<p>Does anyone know a great location for such an event? Maybe an office of a London based startup?
What a brilliant idea!<p>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.<p>Also, we have a pool table.<p>Who is taking point for organising this?<p>Edit: OK, I'll take point on this! Creating an eventbrite meetup as we speak (free of course).<p>Here's the Eventbrite URL: <a href="https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/startup-school-europe-warmup-tickets-12175763035" rel="nofollow">https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/startup-school-europe-warmup-...</a><p>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!<p>Depending on numbers, we'll get Pizza, a beer barrel, etc. If just 20 people sign up we probably won't bother ;-)<p>Update: 24 already... looking good, keep it coming :-)<p>Update 2: 40!<p>Update 3: 60!<p>Thought I might as well submit it here since this thread has fallen off the page: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7989159" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7989159</a>
If it's an evening thing, I'll be there.<p>As for the venue, try hitting up <a href="http://shoreditchworks.com/villagehall" rel="nofollow">http://shoreditchworks.com/villagehall</a> - they are very generous with that space when it comes to user groups and other community related stuff.
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.

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.
Yes! Ideally in the evening. Also, happy to connect with people virtually before that. Keen to talk to anyone doing B2B SaaS.<p><a href="https://twitter.com/olegpodsechin" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/olegpodsechin</a><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/olegpodsechin" rel="nofollow">https://www.linkedin.com/in/olegpodsechin</a>

I'll be in the city around 7 PM Friday, up for anything after that. <a href="https://twitter.com/martinmelin" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/martinmelin</a>
Is this a "food + drinks in evening" kind of warmup or "food + drinks + talks in the daytime" kind of warmup? I'm interested regardless.
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).
