On: Why The UK Startup Scene Is Doomed

I whole heartedly agree. :) I do some of this as is but I need to get better at it.

great! If you know of any regular meetups, I'd be interested to hear.

Where are you ?

You can barely throw a stone in London without hitting a startup meetup, there are roughly 40-50 meetups/month these days.

Actually I'm based near Birmingham, but I'm only an hour from London. Where do you find out about these meetups?

That's a bit dated now, the scene's moved on a lot in the last year. The best way to learn about events tends to be by following startup people on twitter.

But if you're not a twitter user there are a couple of people who do weekly emails about startup events in London:

Startup Digest London: http://startupdigest.com/london-startup/

London Silicon Roundabout (a meetup in it's own right but they also send out a weekly newsletter): http://www.meetup.com/london-silicon-roundabout

If you search meetup.com there's also a bunch of other startup events listed on there, including the monthly HN meetup.

I do not. I will look into this after my move.
