Would you be interested in a 'blind date' session between IT/web developers and entrepreneurs?

An idea I have; I'm looking for some feedback:


* We get 5+ IT developers and 5+ entrepreneurs in a room


* Just like a 'blind date' event, each developer gets to talk with each entrepreneur for about 10 minutes.


* Might be combined with a group discussion focusing on the following questions: How can you find the right developer/entrepreneur to work with? How can developers assess whether a business idea is worth it? How do developer want to be compensated? 


* Event could be combined French / English


* Participation fee would be nominal, to cover expenses such as room rate. 


I'd be very happy to work with other individuals or an organization to set this up.

Hi Edward,


I have just arrived to Geneva, I'd be interested in participating.  I am an Information Architect by trade, interested to get to know the IT world here a bit better.

Hi Edward


I would be interested in participating from the entreprenuer side.  I have one company I'm a partner in, and my husband runs a company as a sole trader - which is the one with huge potential and no current website or marketing plan!


Let me know if you make any progress.


 


Thanks
