Rules of Dating

Be Committed — If you’re just interested in seeing what’s out there and not really ready to make a commitment to either a full-time gig or meaningful side project, this is not an event for you.

Don’t meet and tell — We take confidentiality very seriously. We promise to keep all information/identities disclosed completely confidential, and by attending you do as well.

Be Prompt — You wouldn’t standup or arrive late for a date, so don’t do that to your would-be co-founder. If you’ve RSVPed, we expect you to be there on time. We have limited spots, so if you don’t show up you took a spot from someone else.
