About Us
We founded the TechMeetup because there is an abundance of events for entrepreneurs to meet investors and lawyers, and next to nothing for techies and tech. Considering the wealth of tech talent around (yes you), why haven’t we made the effort before to get to know everyone – see what else everyone is working on – get help on our projects from others – and talk about some of the cool stuff we’re doing – web apps, software, mobile apps, hardware, games…
Networking sounds like something that you do if you’re in PR or sales, so we don’t call it that and we don’t make it feel like that. There’s no name badges, no canapés. There’s just pizza and beer, a projector and a load of techies arguing about stuff. Come along to a TechMeetup and meet who else is involved in your tech scene.
Some other things of relevance
1. TechMeetup is free.
2. TechMeetup is about advancing our knowledge and meeting new people – it is not for presenting a sales pitch.
3. TechMeetup is proudly supported by its benevolent sponsor – currently Informatics Ventures, Hillington Innovation Centres, Wireless Innovation, and Aberdeen University.
