There are a gazillion general networking events in DC and I don't want to create another one.
Instead, my hope is to keep the DC Lean Startup Circle events focused on the tools, techniques, and experiences of people who are fighting and sweating in the trenches to get startup products launched in lean fashion as described by Eric Ries, Steve Blank, and others.
I just posted a case study on my blog that describes my experiences and lessons learned with ManyWheels, my second startup, over the past year: what worked, what didn't work, and the instances where I totally blew it.
For our inaugural meetup I'll talk about the following topics related to my experiences:

So leave the laptops, business cards, and suits at home. Instead, bring your ideas about MVPs, pivots, team dynamics, customer hypothesis development.
If you want to talk to prospective start-ups about your consulting services firm, this isn't the group for you.
But if you're determined to do build something new and want to vet the business opportunity in lean startup style before you quit the day job, I hope you'll consider coming.
