But then again, we might not. But we don't know yet, because we don't know who is working on what. How can we solve that? 1) A simple website that list everyone who wants to be listed with a short description of what they do and what help they could use? 2) A YouTube Channel where every member of Refresh has 3 min preso? Just think.. LOL 1500 videos... to watch.. LOL 3) A live *speed-dating event* so everyone gets to know each other better? As for money, I support Paul Graham theory on *ramen profitability* http://www.paulgraham.com/ramenprofitable.html I believe, start-ups need good ideas and customers. The first money should come from customers. If a business can't get revenue from customers, it is unlikely it will stay in business. Granted, not everyone needs or wants to start a business here. Some people just want good job assignments. What about joint meetings with other professional groups? Let's organize a meeting with a South Florida professional group that potentially need developers.... Well, it is 3 am, so I am signing off now... but I'll be baaaacckkk.

But then again, we might not. But we don’t know yet,

The group consists of a mailing list that recruits every tech professional in Miami along with possible investors. Once a month 5 companies or individuals will present a 10 minute demo and a 5 minute Q&A of their product/service. As every month passes everyone wants to present their technology and a rich community is formed. I've seen this happen in New York, we should replicate it here.
