London Silicon Roundabout Weekly Updates 29 Nov 2013

Dear LSR Member,

Last night we had a Startup Productivity Tools Drinks&Demo night and it was fun. We learned about a few productivity boosting apps out there on the market, met enthusiastic people, and had a couple of beers. Who knew how many hidden features Hootsuite had, or how incredibly organised you could become with ProdPad? Well no we do! Thanks to everyone who came and to the great speakers we had.

And before the year is over we still have a few events left for you to join us.

1. Autumn Investor Day is on Tuesday, 3th December. It marks the end of this year’s Guru program. We’re really excited to have some startups pitching for investment! If you would like to join them and perhaps even gain some investment for your startup please fill out this form. On the other hand, if you are an investor and would like to see what great ideas our startups have please complete this form. Either way we would love to see you there.

2. Startup/Developer #SpeedMeetup in on Wednesday, 4th December. The first of its kind speed dating for Startups and Developers that we are organising. If you are looking to join a team or maybe you need a co-founder/developer have a look at our event and join us next week. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Hope you had a productive week and have a relaxing weekend.

Warm Regards,

Mila
