I'm vegetarian so I know your pain. We try to have veggie dishes whenever possible, but that restaurant is a barbecue joint...sorry. I'll see if there's anything they can make though.
The first meal in LA has Hamilton Chen from Paperlinks and Nikhil Pandit from Graffiti Geo (sold to Loopt). The second meal has Joey and Yotam from Earbits and..me
Los Angeles, CA - Grubwithus - Fulltime, Intern, H1B
Join Grubwithus and be responsible for creating real-life friendships, marriages, business partnerships, and more.
We're growing quickly and are looking for all development positions including frontend, backend, mobile, analytics, UX, etc. Our site is built on Rails but as long as you're smart and have good CS fundamentals, come join us.
Ashton has been a very helpful angel for us and he uses so many tech products that he actually gives great advice.
Him not being part of the valley is a plus! Every VC knows the same exact execs at Facebook, Twitter, Groupon, etc, so you get little benefit from having multiple Sand Hill Road VCs on your team. Ashton can connect you to a whole different world of people and influencers who could really help your company.
Hey there, I'm one of the founders and actually vegetarian too =) We try to do most of our meals half veggie / half meat but we couldn't make it work with Brazilian, so we had to go all meat on this one. We're definitely going to build in more options for people with dietary restrictions though!
A few people have actually dated after meeting on Grubwithus. Job offers too. These things happen semi-serendipitously, which makes it better, because everyone goes to the meal with the context of meeting new friends, not some awkward dating context.
Want to do this as a grubwith.us meal? We've been talking to the Publican and can schedule the meal for the 29th at 4. This way everyone prepays for their meal, shares a bunch of food, family style, and there's no payment drama at the end.
Max, give it a try and you'll see that it's actually a ton of fun =) The people that go to the meals are inherently social, and always have interesting things to say. In Chicago, a bunch of people come that just moved to the city, are traveling for business, are tired of meeting people at bars, or just are older now and their social circle has decreased.
Hey everyone, this is Eddy from Grubwithus. We're interviewing for the YC W11 class and wanted to speak with a bunch of YC alumni about the program and the interview process. Instead of hogging these founders all to ourselves, we thought, why not invite a bunch of YC alumni to some meals and have many people benefit?
Whether you're interviewing, didn't get selected, or just want to know more about PG, come grub with the people that have been through the YCombinator experience and can tell you about all the wonderful details! Sign up at http://www.grubwith.us/san-francisco to reserve your seat at the table with founders from companies such as Disqus, HeyZap, Mixpanel, WakeMate, Optimizely, AdGrok and ReadyForZero.
For context, Grubwithus is a social dining site that builds friendships over family-style meals in restaurants throughout the city. Instead of reserving your own table with people you know, you're booking an individual seat at a table of new friends.
Thanks to all of YC for being so helpful and we look forward to meeting everyone at the table!
Funny, I just wrote a blog post yesterday about our extreme bootstrapping ways at Starbucks titled "Two Guys One Cup". We have free wifi because one of us has AT&T DSL at home (and you can log in with multiple laptops at the same time) and we sometimes bring seat cushions to make the chairs more comfortable. http://grubwithus.blogspot.com
