New York Hacker News Meetup

Welcome!

Thanks for joining the New York Hacker News Meetup Group. I noticed (like you) that there wasn't a HN Meetup in New York and that wasn't cool. So I hope that we can all get together and do something awesome.

Recently, everyone began to notice the "Offer HN" trend that was taking root. I'm hoping that this isn't just a "fad" and I'm going to do my best to make sure that it sticks in the community.

I started the "Offer HN: Tax Help for Startup Entrepreneurs." thread and I'm extending that offer in person for every monthly meetup!

We're all coming together to meet like-minded people and make new friends, but I think we should all help and support each other as well! If you'd like to offer something as well, please post it on our wall!

So, come out. Chill, chat and eat free pizza!

Meetup Format

I want the HN community in New York to meet each other and get to know each other personally cause it's always cool to meet people with similar interests but different ideas. I've found the best way to make fast friends is to help someone, so our format is "Offer HN Meetup Style."

The format is 5 Minutes to ask your question or issue to the community or whatever. After those 5 minutes, we the audience, get 5 minutes to give you feedback and help.

Other than that, there are 2 rules:

(1) No Startup Pitches

(2) Don't be a dick

We're looking for people with issues they'd like to discuss and people who'd like offer help (sans Offer HN style in person). We're looking for 5 people who need to help to discuss their issue and 5 people to offer this assistance.

If you wanna present, contact me (contact (at) thekenggroup.com), or better yet, fill out the RSVP question. Leave a link if relevant!

Props to Hack and Tell because I stole their format because their meetup is awesome. Lol.
