Just having fun with other singles...

Hi Everyone, I've met a lot of great people, but I think that this group's focus was a little "off" when I created it. I've heard a lot from people who wish is was "more vegan-friendly" as well as people from the other side of the fence who left because the group was too vegan-centric, and they weren't really interested. I briefly thought about shutting us down and creating a new group, but 117 members is nothing to laugh at. I've thought about it a lot, and I'm going to put together some events …

We meet up and get coffee, drinks, lunch or dinner at someone's home or out on the town. The purpose of this group is to help bring young women together (in a way that's not about getting a man) so tha …

Imagine if there was a place, where at one table an entrepreneur meets her next $100,000 investor. A designer meets a new client, a web developer with a great internet startup. A PHP engineer meets a charismatic founder that excites him with his vision, so much so that he can picture leaving his day job for the exhilarating experience of working tirelessly for technology stock options that could be worth millions one day... We're building this community. @LATechHappyHour

We Silicon Beachers do a lot of things really well. We can code, sell, develop and pitch. We're generally pretty good at partying too. Another thing that I'm sure we could be really good at is making our corner of the world a better place.

We gladly welcome suggestions from our members for other opportunities where …
