Commendable. Really well executed. How about linking up with online communities. I'm sure a lot of people on reddit would love this for no-fuss IRL meet ups. Likewise forums/ online games etc. Well done

YES! There a ton of use cases we will have to look at. We are getting a bunch of requests through our create your own meal side of things. http://www.grubwith.us/meals

We can and will totally create a reddit group and host meals on there.

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.

I was stupid and bought a seat to give to a female potential-startup-founder friend of mine (mainly because it was the last seat, and she's already asleep), but it signed me up instead. Oh well.

Every single one that I want to go is Females only. Dont you think that men would also like the opportunity to lern from YC founders?

We actually hosted some meals during the YC interviews for guys to participate in and chat with YC alum. We will look to do something like that again in the near future. Thanks for the feedback!

awesome...im looking fwd to it.

I wonder if there's such a thing as startup groupies. /joke

I was at some YC parties with some girls who really seemed like groupies (from a distance, I didn't actually talk to them).

We are building a similar site with a bit different approach, ours is a free site which encourages people to create their events at their homes or public places, also bring together communities and create a framework for small businesses, a bit like farmers markets or the like. Check us out at: http://eatwithme.net/

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!

Offtopic - I envy you guys so much for having HN meetups, I think I am the only Brazilian that reads HN (very unlikely), because nobody answers me about a Brazilian one.

Guys, I'm not Brazilian but you should check out http://hackernewsers.com/users.html?User[city]=&User[cou...

there are some people from Brazil :-)

Nope :( I live in Campinas... Close to São Paulo
