I am very pleased to announce that all our efforts in creating a tech scene in Rome and more generally in Italy are coming through. On Monday, November 23rd we will be hosting our first event, in collaboration with a few roman startups: Publisoftweb, Ibrii, Frestyl and other cool geeks.
UpStartRoma will be a monthly meetup for the italian tech and startup scene. Our fist meeting will be held in Publisoftweb’s offices (thank you) and will feature quite a few pitches and keynotes.
What we aim to do is recreate the London-like ecosystem in Rome. There are a lot of great people, great startups, investors and bloggers but nobody knows each other very well. We hope to help everyone in finding new business contacts, mentors, investors and more generally very cool dudes to hang out with.
We can’t wait to be able to do this in other cities, but for that we would need your help. Please contact us if you’d like our help with the organization of something similar in your city.
We must say, we got a good inspiration from the first Startup Night, that was held in Milan in September. And, by the way, they are hosting a second one, on Tuesday 24th.
If you’re around Rome this is a must-attend event, see you on November 23rd, 19:00 c/o Publisoftweb, Via Gallonio 6, Rome
I forgot to say that beer and pizza are on us!
Hey Stefano,
