Either these guys are confused or they missed the notice: http://www.grubwith.us/restaurants/la-briciola-san-francisco...

Actually it's an opportunity for women who want to get into startups to talk to YC founders - most of whom happen to be men.

My bad, that makes total sense now. I was the one confused.

I tried this a few weeks ago in Chicago and it was great. One of my favorite parts is that we didn't have to worry about splitting up the bill. I'd love to set up grubwith.us's open only to my friends. Paying in advance also eliminates the flake factor. This will probably change as I say this: but women outnumbered men 2 to 1 in the dinner I attended (8 & 4). What other social startup has an early adopter profile lik…

Women were only outnumbered 2 to 1? Though that's not completely successful, that's pretty good.

Other way around.

Met the Grubwithus guys at the last HN Chicago meetup and they impressed the heck out of me as guys who enjoy and have experience running businesses. Best of luck to them!

Ditto. (I regularly get back from HN meets wondering where all these crazy talented people hide out at when not at HN meet ups.)

That was one of the most madcap fun evenings I've had in a while. It was great seeing people pop out of the woodwork and hearing about what they're working on. Great to see GrubWithUs taking flight!
