Hacker News Tokyo Japan Meetup #10 – Friday 20th of January 2012

At MakeLeaps, in addition to creating small business software, we also organise events catering to the Hacker News community (run by Y Combinator, an entry-stage Venture Capital firm based out of San Francisco).

These Tokyo events are popular with people interested in business and technology, local small business owners, startup founders, and people thinking of building startups.

If you’d like to come to this event, please make sure you’re registered on Hacker News, and follow the below instructions. This time we also have limited attendance, so please confirm early.

We’re pleased to announce we’re organising another HN Tokyo Meetup on Friday the 20th of January, 2012.

This event will follow a similar un-structured, ‘mixer’ format as the last one. As before, If you’d like to come along, please:

  1. register at http://hntokyo.doorkeeper.jp/, including a 1 sentence profile on yourself, and your HN username.

You will then receive information about the venue and time.

Future Events

If you would like to be notified of future HN events, please monitor this blog, #hntokyo, and @MakeLeaps.

Time

The event will be from 6pm to 9pm, with an after-party at a local bar.

Food and Drinks

We will also be organising a caterer to provide everyone with food and drinks.

We don’t want to have to turn away people who have not registered, so if you’re a Hacker News reader and you would like to come, please make certain you’ve followed the above instructions and booked in advance.

    Oh man, this is perhaps the worst timing I’ve ever experienced. I’m leaving Tokyo on the 18th of January. I would have loved to have come to this!

    Hi there,

    Thanks for letting us know. If you could do us a big favour and update doorkeeper when you realise you’re not able to make it, it’d be great.
    Generally everyone 1 or 2 months or so.

    Hope you can make it to the next one.

    Cheers!
