Just a quick reminder that Startup Drinks is going to be happening Wednesday, August 13 at Fado Irish Pub in Buckhead - 5:30-until.
Unlike other events, you don’t have to sign up or wear your secret decoder ring. It would be helpful if we had an estimate of how many of you were planning on showing up (not that I’m afraid to drink alone - I’m comfortable with my demons…). If it’s 5, no big deal, if it’s 75, Fado might like to know about it….
So, if you’re planning on attending, just add a comment here (might help with your networking at the event as well!). If you’re in super-stealth mode, skipping one of the 12-steps to attend, or just don’t want anyone to know you’re coming, you can let me know directly - I’m easy to reach:
email: djones@lenderflex.com
twitter: lenderflexceo
Otherwise, just show up! With all the news and gossip in the tech world for the last couple of weeks, I GUARANTEE there will be interesting
conversations to be found!

It’s the middle of Summer and great time to meet up with your fellow startup entrepreneurs and enjoy a proper pint. Join us for Startup Drinks Atlanta on Wednesday, August 13 at Fado Irish Pub in Buckhead. We’ll be there from 5:30PM until the drinks and/or conversation run out!
So what is Startup Drinks?
- A drinking group with a startup problem.
- A low key, unstructured group drinking (coffee, beer or spirits) event that happens in cities across the world
- Therapy for startup junkies (you don’t have two days to go to a conference, but you do have two hours and would love to stay involved in the community)
Who can/should attend?
- Any entrepreneur (any industry/any stage)
- Anyone that’s inclined to become an entrepreneur
- Anyone that works with a startup company
- Anyone that’s inclined to work for a startup company
- Anyone that is interested in startup companies/entrepreneurs
Who shouldn’t attend?
We shouldn’t have to keep saying this, but if you are a service provider or anyone looking to hawk or shill your services, products, etc. to the attendees, you would be better served to stay at home. If you do attend, be sure to introduce yourself and give a card – we’ll gladly introduce you as a huckster and will place your info and photo on a “Wall of Shame” at AtlantaStartup (http://atlantastartup.wordpress.com).
So, please be sure to join us and Spread The Word! The new Fado is cavernous, with multiple levels (including a roof deck), good beer and good pub food.
I’ll make sure there are signs or something to help you find the group. If you’re new or don’t know anyone, look for me, Dave Jones, and I’ll introduce you around. I’ll be wearing a white LenderFlex golf shirt (I’m a co-founder of LenderFlex….)

Okay, folks - with a week to go to Startup Riot, I’m ready to divulge all the details about the after party.
Thanks to the generous support of both Dash and Nelson Mullins, we are doing an after party at the Nelson Mullins offices in Atlantic Station (a few minute walk from the Twelve Hotel which is the venue for Startup Riot). The after party will run from 5:00pm until 8:30pm.
All conference attendees will be allowed to attend the after party. Folks who want to attend the after party but not the conference need to pre-register and be cleared to attend. The same attendance policy for the conference applies to the after party - no service providers and no vendors allowed. Entrepreneurs, job seekers, corporate employees (specifically those who invest or do M&A), non-profit employees, and investors are all welcome to attend.
The Nelson Mullins offices have a fantastic view of the city skyline and this should be a fantastic evening.
Oh, did I mention? There are a limited number of slots for attending the after party and there will be an open bar and some random snacks available.

In case you haven’t seen the news, ATDC/VentureLab is doing an event on May 15th. Lance tweeted about doing a Startup Drinks after that (can’t seem to find that tweet anymore). So let’s get it done. How about The Globe right after the event (4:30pm or so) until whenever people leave. Happy Lance? The Globe sells pints. I think…

A simple concept: startup culture in cities around the world gathers around a bar to have a pint and discuss what they are working on, what they need help with and what they can do for each other.
