    CEO Fight Club is next Tuesday

    CEO Fight Club is going the rounds next week. If that means something to you. Good.

    If you're interested in attending Fight Club, you'll need to have a personal invitation from a member. (ie. No sales guys unless they're on a leash.) You can read the recap and the comments from the last dinner here.

    The Billy Barty Memorial Knock-out Hernia Belt...

    Judd Bagley loves Fight Club. Funny, he didn't look like a boxer.

    His comment on the Fight Club blog:

     Sweet Sassy Mollassie! That was one of the best times I've had with a bunch of dudes. Seriously, dinner lasted like four hours but could have gone on for ten, as good as the conversation was. I'm hooked on Fight Club. Thank you Jeff for organizing it. I intend to challnge Ryan Coombs for control of the Billy Barty Memorial Knock-out Hernia Belt. What an honor.
    See you in three and a half short weeks.

    Figh Club is this coming Tuesday

    Fight Club is on for this Tuesday, June 27th at around 6:30.

    If you're a senior decision maker in your organization, you're invited. (Salespeople and students are by personal invitation from a Fight Club member only. Sorry.) It'll be at the Fiddlers Elbow again.

    Fight Club is a network of entrepreneurs, senior business owners and decison makers who occasionally get together and have dinner while we meet new friends. If you'd like to attend you can email me, Ryan Money, Ryan Coombs, or whoever else you might know in Fight Club. Ryan's going to be blogging about this as well. We keep the group small and informal. No sales, no pitches, no BS. (You have to save that 'till Wednesday.)

    What's Fight Club?

    Fight Club is a monthly event (usually dinner) for entrepreneurs and startup CEOs.

    Yeah, there are a number of other events around. The Geek Dinner. Corporate Alliance. Chambers. The CTO Breakfast. But Fight club is for startups to network with each other. (At least that's the idea. We'll see where it goes.)

    Why Fight Club?

    Geek Dinners taken. Besides, it's cooler to tell your wife/staff/buddies that you're going to Fight Club than have to ask strangers directions to the Geek Dinner. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)

    Fight Club is about connecting, not selling

    Fight Club Members are entrepreneurs and business owners who understand that people are not the sum of what they can do for you. We're organized to build introductions and relationships between entrepreneurs outside the regular business environment. You can sell again on Monday.

    How you fit in

    Fight Club is small on purpose. We want to offer an environment where people can get to know the 'person' they're talking to, before the business. Anyone can come, you just have to attend with a member the first time.

    Fight Club is not an Old Boys Network

    We're just a bunch of similarly situated guys who value semi-inteligent conversation and understand that expanding your network and being of service is also good business.

    Fight Club Utah

    Fight Club, the Entrepreneur Network is coming to Utah.

    I've been kicking around the idea of starting up a startup networking dinner for entrepreneurs. I've attended a number of these networking soirees and think that the founders of young startups might well benefit from a network of  founder who are in, or have been in the same situation. Startups are always in need of a wider network than they have to build a team or find resources. I'm going to contact a few entrepreneurs and see who's interested.

    Why Fight Club? Geek Dinners taken. Besides, it's cooler to tell your wife/staff/buddies that you're going to Fight Club than have to ask strangers directions to the Geek Dinner. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)
