Below are a few good meetups in Seattle if you want to engage with startups:
- Hacker News meetup (usually attracts high profile speakers with a technical bent). The last two I attended were by a VP for Tech at Axon (formerly Taser International) and Ron Weiner (CEO of leading running treadmill manufacturer and former CEO and founder of EarthClass Mail. Both were quite interesting. Ron was chronicled in a HBO series in 2007 about the founding of ECM (they receive physical mail on your behalf and email you digital copies). The Taser talk was interesting to me because I used to think of them in the same light as defense contractors who profiteer from war and brutalize people. Turns out they are mission driven and the user of Tasers has actually saved 180,000 lives where guns would otherwise have been used. Past speakers include CEOs of Moz, Redfin and Porch.
- New Tech Northwest
- Startup Grind Seattle
