About a month ago, Viveca and I exchanged a few emails. We were both keen to join some local groups that meant we could meet some like-minded business people in Perth. I’d already spent some time looking for local organisations to join, but didn’t find much, and in some instances the barrier to entry was high. So, as entrepreneurs are want to do, we decided to start our own.

Next week we have our first event: a networker at the Leederville Hotel.

The intent is for the events to be low cost, so in instances where there is food, drink, or presenters, we’ll charge enough to only cover costs. It will also be a network powered by the members, taking on board suggestions, and flexible enough that anyone in the group can lead new endeavors.

Saying that, I’ll be approaching it from a little bit of a selfish angle. You see I’m in the middle of starting my own business, currently “code named” Web2Thing (a tongue in cheek poke at the current Internet buzzword), and am looking for investors and board members. So amongst the sharing of ideas, advice, and experiences, I’ll be hunting for people to jump on board.

Please feel free to contact us, you can find our details in the About section, and if you’re keen to join or contribute, drop us a line.
