I'm dying to fly out and visit. :)

Also, if you guys need anything, or are interested in coming out to visit SV/SF, drop us a line. We'd be happy to host an event for you guys: jona...@hackersandfounders.com aka iamelgringo on HN

Cool. We're here: http://www.hackersandfounders.com/ If any of you are coming over, drop us a line. we'll try to get you connected.

We're also building out a list of online resources for all the other HN / H&F groups around the globe. http://64.27.48.15/ Right now it looks like crap, because we're focused on building The Co-op application (our mini incubator) process.

I really believe that the biggest strength of any incubator, or Hacker group is just getting together on a regular basis. H&F started 4 years ago with 4 hackers and me in a bar, talking about startups. We're now at 3,500 members. The first couple of years, the community was really small, though. Now, we're huge, and with any luck, we'll be running Hackers & Founders full time before the end of the year. One of the things that we want to do is improve connections and communication between the other Hacker Groups and Silicon Valley.

So, really, let us know if you need anything, or if anyone is visiting out here. I'm jona...@hackersandfounders.com. Laura is La...@hackersandfounders.com. Ping us.

We occasionally come across companies that are interested in sponsoring events as well. I'll forward those connections along.

Keep up the great work!

Cheers,

Hi,

Paris Hackers: Jonathan and Laura are awesome people. Definitely get in touch with them if you go to Silicon Valley. I attended one of their hackathons at the Hacker Dojo in Moutain View in April, and it was a great experience.

Jonathan: you're more than welcome in Paris!

(PS: I'll be in SV for 2 weeks in August, I'll ping you.)
