For New People
If you have someone you’d like to propose to join the group please have them email me with an intro about them and what they’re up to. I generally like to try and meet and know whomever comes into the group- that way the community follows the purpose here. (Smart+Good people)
If you’re brand new and don’t know anyone in the circle but you’re interested and you’re in the LA tech/internet/media world please post a comment here and I’ll connect with you.

The purpose of the night is to get smart, interesting good people together to share ideas and create a better community for ourselves – and help each other where we can.
I did a similar event a while back and the feedback and response was great. People got value and enjoyed it. This time I’m expanding the circle a little bit to bring some good new people into the mix.
The invite list consists of:
- Some tech/internet CEO’s
- A few CTO’s
- Some serial entrepreneurs with a few nice exits (sales)
- Several lovely & talented internet marketers, authors and experts
- A couple of folks doing cool stuff in the mobile space
- Some web & app developers I like
- Several super sharp Advertising and Media Buying folks
- A few VC’s & Angels
- And if you come… YOU
The evening will be a fairly casual gathering of minds up top the Erwin Hotel at the rooftop bar. It’s one of the very best views in Venice too, so you won’t want to miss it.
Why Am I Doing This Event?
I’ve always felt that Los Angeles could have a more cohesive technology and internet community- the way the Bay Area does.
With that said, there are some solid groups like DocStoc CEO Jason Nazar’s Startups Uncensored. Their events are usually posted to his blog and give real value to the startup folks of the world.
There are also some other internet-centric communities including:
What I’ve sought to do over the past year or so is bring together a smaller more intimate group of like-minded internet, technology and marketing folks who are all the kind of people I enjoy sharing ideas with and getting to know better.
It’s always great to connect with smart people, and I enjoy introducing the smart people I like and know to each other so everyone benefits.
If you’re in the LA tech community please also feel free to post here and say hi and introduce yourself. If we connect I can try and invite you to the next event.

See you there and be well!
