More Meetups! Shenzhen’s First Startup Tuesday!

Just #addicted to networking and connecting. But at least I am focusing on an industry, group, and location:

Industry: tech / international ecommerce
Location: China, specifically south / Shenzhen.

And I’m just gonna keep plowing through. I tried to get others to organize some events, but I am low on patience and just setup a quick and informal round table event this coming Tuesday, August 9th at this new szteam coworking space (where I’m blogging this at 6pm on a Thursday!)

Vlad came by today – finally – and he realized the power of the space…he got so much work done! And networked with other like minded, startup, self-starting personalities. Throughout the day we had visitors like David Li from hackerspace in Shanghai, Felix Lam from Makible in Hong Kong, Rica doing product sourcing, Bruce looking for startup opportunities, and others just checking out the space.

Yesterday we had geekcook.net founder David Zhang here looking to promote he “geek” product line in the space.

We have gotten emails from eOffice.net in London to do a cross promotion between China and UK coworking spaces.

And we are continuing to leverage the success of the boot.hk coworking space to scale up and “crank up” the volume of startup networking in the south of China.

And today I just did it, more and more people wanting to get the startups specific side of the coworking, we will host a meetup…roundtable, brainstorming, self-introduction of everyone’s projects.

Below are the details.

Been talking to more and more people that want to network with other startups in Shenzhen….there are many around, well lets DO IT!

We will use the SZteam.com office for the place, and pick Tuesday night 7pm to get people together.

Again, people say, why did I just spend the last 3 hours or so talking to people on the phone, on chat, on multiple social media sites posting new event listings, community postings, and email blasts….

BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT I LOVE TO DO, ITS WHAT I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT so get off my back! I know my friends and mentors keep telling me to stop/ slow down the blogging and networking and focus on making direct cashflow but damnnit, I am delegating, I am strategizing that. And many things there I need to wait for the work and thought process to finish on the other side of the table.

So away I network and connect. Lets see where this next meetup takes us on the adventure.
