looks like a great initiative, solving a pain point that isn't currently adequately addressed. Congrats @eriktorenberg

@ianmikutel yes!! if any one wants to host in Seattle LMK

Great concept @eriktorenberg 👏👏👏 I'm very excited about potentially taking part in this community. I've found great value from similar events (Weave, Female Founder dinners, the YC soup dinner) being new in SF. Networking in this setting is a lot more valuable than attending random events.

I'd personally like to see an Austin event (since I'm moving there in July). ;)
Tyson Ferguson
@sethlouey Agreed! Would love to see this in Austin as well. There's a large, thriving tech community here that would definitely benefit by having On Deck around. Seth - what brings you to Austin?

@whattheferguson want a change of scenery and expand my network in the startup world. Been in Upstate NY for awhile. Plus, my fiancée loves warm weather. :)

@sethlouey @whattheferguson boom let's make it happen
John Kirk
@eriktorenberg @sethlouey @whattheferguson - i'd love to host Austin as well. I've upped my BBQ game substantially since moving here last August.

@decktonic just don't tell your company. ;)

I've met incredible people through On Deck and have also re-connected with folks I otherwise wouldn't have talked to at really serendipitous times. @eriktorenberg thanks for all you do.
