Open Coffee Club Riga #3

Open Coffee Riga is a friendly informal networking event for entrepreneurs, professionals, locals, guests, people in the startup community, and students in Riga.

Open Coffee Riga is an “un-meeting” without a speaker or agenda. We are focused on attendees gaining value from other attendees. The rules, tools, structure and moderation aim to facilitate this goal.

You may find a mentor, investor, client, co founder, employer, vendor, inspiration or a friend.

What is the BIG idea behind Open Coffee? We want to help people create valuable & meaningful connections. Everyone is welcome to our meetings, and we especially love first-timers. We want to make sure that if somebody coming from an unsupportive background/country has the courage to join, they will notice that we are glad they came because we welcome them. If you feel shy, you can also just listen but we encourage you to talk.
We start at 19:00 sharp. Everybody gets up to 2 minutes to present:

1. Who they are and what they are doing
2. What they want
3. How they can help others

At 20:00 sharp we stop hosting and you can talk to people who are most interesting to you.

We are focused on business and social entrepreneurs, community builders, game-changers, earth-shakers and anyone else who is doing something interesting or wants to get involved in other people's projects. You can talk about any project/topic.

Each attendee can also get to show their LinkedIn page or website through our channels and showcase their idea. Join our WhatsApp group here [https://chat.whatsapp.com/H1cKouCyAMb0VGwAb5B6Wk ](https://chat.whatsapp.com/H1cKouCyAMb0VGwAb5B6Wk)

This event is based on the Open Coffee Krakow format, run by Richard Lucas and others in Krakow, Poland since 2012. The Open Coffee Riga is a revival of the Open Coffee Riga from 2011 (!) where it evolved into TechHub Riga & that evolved into StartupHouse Riga.
