Thanks Alex, The company seeks interesting.

Sorry I just got to my email. One concern would be Friday is just 3 days later. We probably won’t have enough time to reserve a room. how about organizing a brainstorm session instead.

Agree. The options that he gave us are Wed, Fri or Sat. They have a meet-up event on Thursday evening in SF. Let me ask them about Thur / Fri noon.  If those do not work, would you think Fri evening is the best option? 

 

Thanks.

Hi Alex,

 

The company seems very interesting – I think it will be an interesting event.

 

While it is theoretically OK I feel Friday night might not be the best option for an event. Thursday noon, 5:15-6:15, or Friday noon will all be better. Is Friday night only time works?

Yihong / Yu / Xueqian, 

 

Please see below, fyi. Lucas and HWTrek (similar to Dragon Innovation) could be very interesting. Do you think it’d be ok to host it on Jan 17 (Friday) night?

 

An article on Lucas can be found here.

Hi Alex,

Nice to e-meet you!

A guest speaker talk sounds great. We would love to meet with the Stanford community. Aside from Thursday night (Jan 16), we would be available to do the talk on Jan 15, 17 and 18. By the way, would our audience be the Chinese Entrepreneur Organization and GSB community too, or some other groups?

Could we also attend the talk by NeuroSky's founder tomorrow evening? What time is the event and where's it held? Will you be at the NeuroSky talk, and if so, shall we catch up then?

We're sponsoring a hardware startup meetup on Jan 16, 6pm in SF. Join us if you are available. The address is: Cambrian Genomics  665 3rd St., Suite 425, San Francisco.

 

My cell is (626) 203-7837 (US) or +886 978 983 599 (TW). What's your cell number?

Looking forward to meeting you! :)

Cheers,
Lynn Tan

Thanks, Lucas and Lynn. Looking forward to talking to you. 

 

Also, if you have time during your stay in Bay area and are interested in meeting MBAs and other entrepreneurial students here at Stanford, I would be happy to help coordinate a guest speaker talk later this week. We invited the founder of NeuroSky to come to campus tomorrow evening, as an event for CEO (Chinese Entrepreneur Organization, a Stanford-based organization) and GSB community. And I think many would be excited to hear more about HWTrek, and hardware startups.  If you have any interest, we will be thrilled to extend an invitation. 

 

Best regards,

 

-Alex
