106 Miles is a network of startup founders, engineers, and friends.


Our mission is to educate and empower entrepreneurial engineers.

Our values are Reputation, Innovation, Solidarity, and Education.

 

This is our SoCal group; see also our Silicon Valley group.


Please join us if you're a founder or engineer (or friend!) and...

* You have worked at a startup,

* You want to work at a startup,

* You have started a company, and/or

* You want to start a company.

 

We meet several times a month (first Wednesday of each month in Palo Alto, 6-9pm; second Wednesday of the month in Redwood City, 6-9pm, and the last Wednesday of each month in San Francisco, 6-9pm; and now 3rd Wednesdays (or Thursdays) in Southern California).

* Socialize and learn from each other.

* Exchange ideas and information. Informally. Usually in a bar.

* Meet people at new startups.

* Meet people who want to work at startups.

 

106 Miles collaborates with Hackers & Founders for events like:

* Lean Startup: http://hackersandfounders.tv/e2N/eric-ries-the-lean-startup/

* Get Bigger: http://hackersandfounders.tv/key/get-bigger-with-vinod-khosla/


106 Miles is symbolic of the journey entrepreneurs that take.

It's from The Blues Brothers:

Elwood: "It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses."

Jake: "Hit it."
