Leveraging Connections

[David Ledgerwood]

I'd be interested to hear ideas regarding how we might continue to build and leverage this new community to help our businesses (and just because it's fun). I'm certain there's a member in the group who's a perfect buyer for my company's services but I'm not sure how I'd know that right now. Any ideas on how to help promote each other?

I agree that it would be a great thing to have a site where these connections can be maintained. A sort of linkedin for temporary working groups. I think fraternities/sororities/workshop graduates/etc could use this solution. Just like all 70+ of us should have a place to go read up on each other's bios and businesses so we could send leads or request help. Maybe a Facebook application is the way to go. This way we're only connecting and not having to re-key all our data.

A good start would be to join the LinkedIn Group that Jason created. Go to LinkedIn, Groups, and search for "Nashville Startup Weekend" - then Join.
