We are members of a really useful networking group in the San Francisco / Valley area called “SF New Tech” which uses Facebook as its primary channel. If you’re not a member and you live in this area, get in there. Our advisor Aron Bohling tipped us off to the group, which organises excellent and interesting events for startups, investors and entrepreneurs.
Their latest event is all about the message behind Grow VC! We are so excited to see more events having our same aim and drive! Check out how relevant this is to what Grow VC is all about.
Here is the message from SF New Tech about the event, and how to sign up:

SF New Tech is pleased to announce an awesome new series of events we’re co-producing with our friends at geekSessions that will zoom in on the business end of the technology landscape.
Introducing bizSessions!
Our first event on July 14th will be a spirited discussion about funding models in these current cash starved times.
It’s bizSessions 1.0: VC: FTW or WTF? … and it’s all about where money talks – and bullshit walks.
You’re invited to join the discussion with an all-star panel representing multiple perspectives on this topic — from partners in the largest Silicon Valley VC firms to independent angel investors to entrepreneurs who have taken different paths and lived to tell about it. We’ll dissect the value of Boot strapping, Angel money, VC funding, micro funds and Ramen noodle profitability… by asking when, why and how you should choose which path to go down? How are companies, entrepreneurs and investors evolving after the lessons learned in the past decade? Are social platforms, outsourcing, App stores and new distribution models enabling startups to reach critical mass without major venture capital and changing the funding game as we know it? And more. Lots more.
Panelists include:
Ping Li — Partner, Accel Ventures
Jonathan Abrams — Founder, Socializr
Kent Goldman — Principal, First Round Capital
Igor Shoifot — COO, Fotki
Join us for a great discussion and a great networking event!
