Planning on being in San Jose this Friday night for Scrappy Startup or South Bay Startup Weekend?
Join the Women 2.0 Mixer with Scrappy Startup and South Bay Startup Weekend in the parking lot on Friday!
On Friday, April 30th, 2010, Women 2.0 is meeting up in the PayPal parking lot from 5pm to 6pm. For those of you who are unable to attend Startup Weekend, this is a FREE opportunity to mingle with other startup founders (current and aspiring), and stay for the FREE Scrappy Startup event afterward.
People say “never eat alone” for good reason — And Women 2.0 is here to help build relationships between entrepreneurs and startuppers! Mobile food trucks in attendance will be MoGo BBQ and Treatbot, providing Korean BBQ tacos/sliders, ice cream, and… karoake?!
Join us with your lawn chairs, tailgating contributions, or just yourself! We want to meet you!!
After the Women 2.0 mixer at 5pm, those attending Startup Weekend South Bay can head inside, and everyone is invited to stay in the parking lot for Scrappy Startup to hear words of wisdom from startup CEO Arjun Dev Arora of ReTargeter.
Scrappy Startup
Scrappy Startup Forum is launching Friday during the festivities. ReTargeter CEO Arjun Dev Arora will speak on bootstrapping and how to go from 0-100+ customers in one year with little funding.

Startup Weekend

Lean Startup is a common catch phrase amongst startups these days, but many people mistake “lean” for “cheap” or “scrappy”. Make no mistake- Lean is a methodology- Scrappy is a mentality.
How do you go from 0 to 100+ clients in less than a year with just a small angel round?
