- 9:00 AM: Wrap up. Head to work or stick around to co-work. The lobby has tables and Wi-Fi.
Why we do this
Back in 2010, a handful of startup folks met for coffee on Tuesdays at Spot on Chippewa, and it became the accidental founding of Buffalo's startup community. This version of the group, organized by Zack Glick, is an attempt to keep that going: a chill spot to talk with other members of the community, to encourage chasing the impossible, and to be there for each other. A startup scene needs a standing place to show up every week, no agenda required.
The ticket is free and just helps us know who to expect. Walk-ins are always welcome. Bring a friend and invite every entrepreneur you know.
