I'd love to do this one day. Just out of curiosity, to you and/or any of the startups offering you a visit- what would you do while you visit? Just walk around the office and ask questions, or take a tour of some sort? I'd be interested to know :)
If you get down to SV I highly recommend connecting with the folks at SiliconHouse http://siliconhouse.us/ It's a great program and they are super connected around SV & SF. Let them know Bradley sent you!
Not my startup, lol, we run a tight ship here. I'd checkout meetups though.
Not sure what you meant by running a tight ship. If you mean allowing strangers into the office, I understand - I mentioned the office only because it can be a good icebreaker meeting new people. If coffee shops would be a more comfortable meeting spot, I'm happy to buy.
If you meant something else, I'd be interested in learning what. I didn't think asking to meet new people would be off-putting.
ha I am pretty much in your same situation, but am looking for a job. Where are you staying?

Surprised you got downvoted, I've started to feel the same way about random drop-ins lately.
'No, and I'm laughing at you, because we run a tight ship and are above this nonsense."
Everything about that response embodies the sort of negativity that folks are trying to avoid here.

Honestly, I'm more interested in meeting the people. If they are up for showing off the office, that's fine, and a good way to break the ice. But I'm not an interior office designer - my interests are more with the people that occupy them :)
I met a ton of great people and everyone was extremely accommodating. I hope you gets lots of offers. I think I ended up with ~70 invitations.
