Janet Alicardi I think this is a great idea. I am from North Carolina and they have lots of Cafe's that offer a variety of tings to do. I network extensivly throughout the boston area and it would be great to have a place to go near my office to network and relax. Please let know when you get together next.

Thanks

Imran Venture Cafe should extend open arms to the many local ethnic based entrepreneurial societies, like OPEN New England, TiE, INLET, and many others. So many people from foreign countries pass through schools here, and stay here to start up new companies; they are source and resource for new entrepreneurs.

"Venture Cafe" (now soliciting ideas for the actual name) Had a good session this week with our core investor/supporter group. We've been working through restaurant vs. cafe vs. bar, central vs. peripheral location, high-end food vs. distinctive but inexpensive food, large vs. small footprint, inclusion or exclusion of coworking-type collaboration elements, etc. We've settl...ed on an A-location, distinctive but not expensive food, cafe possibly with alcohol in evening.

"Venture Cafe" (now soliciting ideas for the actual name) WSJ has an article about Cafés turning off their wireless. While I respect that for some Cafés this is a necessary business decision, reliable internet access is a cornerstone for productivity in the innovation community - a fact we will not forget!

More small coffee shops in New York are imposing restrictions on customer laptop use as shop owners struggle to stay in business.

Hi Amanda! For the moment, this *is* the website! :) We're still working on many pieces of the Caf... See Moreé, and this felt like the best way to connect with the community. If you visit venturecafe dot net, it brings you here. :)

The Café will be open in about a year, though that's still subject to many influences. Along the way we're creating as many opportunities for people to give input as possible!

If you're interested in getting further involved, drop me a note and I'll send you an invite to our Google Group, where the discussion gets even deeper! aubree at venturecafe dot net. --Aubree
