     I had a great time last night and met lots of wonderful people. The new tech meetup is a great networking tool; I look forward to the next one! I also want to mention that I downloaded the surfcanyon product and it's wonderful!

     It's the best tech event in the Bay Area for staying abreast of new software startups and networking with others. It's also reasonably priced.

     Always a worthwhile, entertaining, and educational event and the best way to socialize and broaden your mind while networking with technology industry colleagues. Keep it up!

     The structure of this meetup is of such a nature that it allows both young entrepreneurs and established businessmen to feel comfortable and network smoothly. The Q&A session is as much a learning experience for those who are being questioned as it is for those who listen, given that you learn how to best scrutinize a startup. The 60 second soap box is a creative and refreshing feature that gives anyone the chance to create opportunities for himself in front of a group of people who know where to give them. It manages to provide a framework that is fun yet in which serious business can take place - and that is not an easy thing to accomplish. Congrats to the organizer.

     This is a very well organized event and group. Each meet up is always jam packed with insightful presentations and demos of new technology -- as well as great networking. The free tacos are great too.

     If you are looking to meet others starting up tech businesses and learn about those businesses, then I would recommend the SF NewTech meetup. In addition, there were a number of organizations specifically offering services to startups that could prove useful.

     Great way to meet people doing this startup thing... Most of the world thinks your crazy, but these people are all doing it.

     Silicon Valley is about networking, exchanging ideas. You can do research online and read every blog, but you're only going to really start feeling out what's happening when you meet these people in person.

     Cheap, easy way to see new companies, ideas.

     Great way to check out the latest tech, network, and hang out with a bunch of interesting people. I'm a new member, and bit shy so I was nervous to come out. But the people are very friendly and enjoy meeting new people.

     Are you kidding? Life and work are both about who you know, and you can never meet too many really interesting, cool people!

     Glad I came to my first SF New Tech Meetup. Great people and great New Tech ideas! I enjoyed telling contacts about our new tech at www.gogrid.com and hearing about other startups. I especially liked the Q & A sessions where you could query the demo presenters on their New Tech ideas.

  • SF New Tech

     Myles is great! Calm, professional and experienced. As for the presentors - they need to speak up, add some fizz and keep in mind that its late and they need to keep us awake.

  • SF New Tech

     Great group of QUALITY people! 

    Eric Swan on Oct 23, 2007.

  • SF New Tech

     I think that the members would benefit from an opportunity to meet and network before presentations start. I noticed many small groups of people who obviously knew each other throughout the crowd, mostly near the bar. Once the presentations started, these people were asked to stop talking because it took focus off the presenters. Maybe if attendees had more time before presentations to talk to each other, introduce themselves to other members, and so forth, these issues would fix themselves. Since I don't know whether the current format has always been in place, please take my comments as observations from a newcomer.

     keep it downtown - location location location. great venue and great conversations. Do you publish the attendee list? That'd be a great takeaway. Thanks a ton!

     like the format. 

    — A former member on Apr 5, 2007.

  • SF New Tech

     A big presence in the new technology space in the SF Bay Area. The format allows time for a good introduction of the products being demo'd and for a good Q&A. This month's presentations were escpecially engaging. 

    SFGary on Apr 5, 2007.

  • SF New Tech

     One might assume in SF that there already exist too many such groups, but it's not the case. Thanks for putting this together. BTW Myles, you have a great advocate in Martha Danly. See you next month! 

    Andrew Zakem on Apr 5, 2007.

     It's exciting to see the group continue to grow!

     I thought the event was definitely worth attending and will be looking forward to the next one. 

    William on Apr 4, 2007.

  • SF New Tech

     It's good, I'm sure it will get less and less personal as it grows, so think about how to preserve the intimacy. You're a good host. Maybe cut people off a bit (~1 minute?) earlier? Thanks sponsors for the much needed refreshment. 

    Ed Dormady on Apr 4, 2007.

     Go on!!!

     Still getting a feel here - I wanted to get a better sense of the mix between tech and business side. 

    Ian on Mar 7, 2007.

  • SF New Tech

     Would love to meet more technical folks - seemed a bit Marketing and Bus. Dev. heavy to me. 

    David on Mar 7, 2007.

  • SF New Tech

     I really like the group. Great forum to learn about new startups. I would like to present my new startup once we get our Alpha out :)

     I've attended most of the meetings of the SF New Tech Meetup and have found the time well-spent. Not only do i meet folks working in a similar industry, I get the chance to see face to face new, innovative technology. 11/1: Seems that the quality of the presentations and companies is actually improving. Really good stuff. Jan 3- The addition of pizza makes it more compelling to stay. Thanks sponsors.

    Aleksandar Gargenta on Feb 6, 2008.

  •  Good group of people and ideas, can use a little more energy from the leaders to make it more entertaining

  •  great group of people i wish the presenters had a bit more coaching/guidelines to make best use of their time . 

    Virginia Yang on Apr 5, 2007.

  •  This could be a strong group - there are lots of social techies in SF, and this would be a much-appreciated outlet.
