10 reasons why recession is good for starting out

Hi Soham,
Thanks so much for getting back to me. Yes, club e has some of the functionality of the Open Coffee Club, however, our format really brings entrepreneurs from every walk of life and business, connecting them in monthly ground chapter meetings in different locales and then everyone from around the globe is connected through our social network online. If you contact me at peter.burns@instituteforentrepreneurship.com, I'll send you some files on how we expand our Club E chapters.

Best regards,

Peter

Soham, actually i dont handle any web 2.0 startups - though do have a personal fascination and am working on a few ideas and might launch a company in that space. As of now, i work with a few nuts and bolts companies, where "valuation" is in solid money... not traction, nor hits :)

We also have quite a few hardware companies within the fold.

Hi Soham,
I got to US on 28th. So I missed this meet. I will miss the next one too but hope to make it to the Nov meet. I briefly chatted with Karthik who gave me an update.

Things are going well. Did I not promise you an intro to Xambala (a chip company in Chennai)? Are you still interested?

Hi Soham,
It was great meeting people. I may miss the next two meetings since I will be away. But I would appreciate reading about the meeting in blogs or discussions.
