Partially inspired by Bootstrappers Breakfasts (according to Jesse Stay’s “Participate in the First Community Barn Raising for Modern Entrepreneurs” but closer in format to Startup2Startup, Stirr, or Techdirt Greenhouse (see also Greenhouse wiki as well to get a flavor), LaunchUp held their first event in Orem Utah (and on the Internet). The entire meeting was recorded on video with a synchronous chat session also archived, see Launchup 1.

Sean, thanks for the mention. Jeremy Hanks is the primary organizer for this, and based on attendance and the online presence we had last time I see really great things for this. Keep following launchup.org for more events – the entire world is always invited to these events!
