Howdy everybody!

We're excited to announce the launch of Net Tuesday Austin!

Who should attend?
a. Lurkers. Interested in learning more about the people, organizations and investors changing the face of Social Enterprise in Austin and beyond.
b. Innovators. Are you building a project that has the potential to do well, and change the world?
c. Masters. Have you had success building an innovative approach to enterprise that managed to do good by employees, the local community, and your bottom-line? We want to hear your stories.

Net Tuesday Austin provides a platform to help grow world-changing ideas into real-world projects.
Join us to meet and collaborate with innovators creating world-changing enterprise models.

The format.
We're calling Net Tuesday Austin's framework the "Greenhouse". We see the greenhouse as something like an incubator that provides innovators with the tools, people, capital and resources they need to take their work to the next level.

Speakers.
To be announced! If you have suggestions for speakers at this event, or future events, please send your suggestions to Billy Bicket at billybicket@yahoo.com.

Background.
Net Tuesday is the face-to-face event series brought to you by NetSquared.org.
A technology non-profit project based out of San Francisco.
Currently, more than (18) cities are meeting up to discuss new ways to approach old problems.

The programmatic incarnation of Net Tuesday in Austin is focused on bringing innovators together with the tools, people and resources needed to take their projects to the next level.
We'll be sharing the details of the "HOW" as well as the various roles we're developing for the community, shortly.

As with any significant shift in the way people get things done in history, much needs to be learned -- even more needs to be discovered -- and opportunities for new ventures await us. Looking forward to meeting you all very soon.

In the meantime, questions? Bright ideas? Shoot. Send Billy an email at billybicket@yahoo.com.

Best,
-billy & ashleigh
