We are Ents (Software Entrepreneurs), so we are passionate about creating software-enabled businesses. We use online tools and work strange hours via informal online communities. We laugh at geeky jokes, we don’t like sterile corporate cubicles and we are all very smart and interesting, except Shad of course, Shad is only semi-interesting.

EntMent is attempting to become a collection of regional social clubs, each managed by their own membership of (Ents + Ments), using a GroupBuild process to help Ents attract Ments, Partners, Customers and Angel Investors.

The GroupBuild process helps to make sure we don’t just have fun, but that we also focus our efforts around those of us who get stuff done. Yep, EntMent is a bit elitist in that regard, but we have to be, because we don’t want to waste each others’ time. Anyone can be a dreamer, but Ents must also be doers.

Our informal monthly meetups are a place to help and be helped, typically in a relaxed but not necessarily unhurried manner. A sense of urgency radiates from those who have a good business vision, and this enthusiasm is contagious. We exercise this goodwill by practicing how we pitch our visions, by demonstrating our solutions and by testing our ideas on each other.

EntMent also hosts other EntMentEvents, such as seminars, dinners, etc. The Annual Demofest Unconference is open to all local club chapters, and is typically held in a University commons area, with enough computer workstations to accommodate hundreds of concurrent presentations and “cluster demos”.

Our club has a NOT-FOR-PROFIT charter, which means nobody gets paid around here. Everyone is a volunteer. Please respect that. It really sucks when people take advantage, so please remember that this is a sociable club and please don’t be more interested in taking than giving.

 

“It is better to have one person working with you than three people working for you.” — Dwight D. Eisenhower
