Hong Kong Start-Ups
A few weeks I go I spend a few days in Hong Kong and among other things met with the guys at Bullpoo (see post) an interactive stocks community run by three Hong Kong based pals with Canadian connections. We discussed the difficulty to mingle with other Hong Kong entrepreneurs, so I suggested that they set up someting like Chinese Entrepreneurs or for Hong Kong releated entrepreneurs and start-ups.
Through Angus Lau, I just discovered a few other Hong Kong start-ups. In fact, one of the companies , Recruit.net, he mentions I actually met when I was talking at the Chinese Entrepreneurs club a month ago. I forgot they where based in Hong Kong too. So Bullpoo team, meet Recruit.net, EditGrid, aNobii and Angus, why don't you get together over a drink?
Net,
It was nice meeting you in Beijing and a good idea that we HK-based people should get together.
Cheers

Thanks, Net. Yeah, it would be a great idea to get something going here in HK. After reading your post about Bullpoo earlier, I'm mulling the idea of organizing some sort of entrepreneur g2g or even Bar Camp HK. Anyone in HK interested?

Hi Net, David, Angus,
I would be interested. :) It's great to see a growing community of Hong-Kong based Web2.0 startups.

Hi all,
That's a great idea. In fact, I've already contacted Angus last week, and we are probably going to go out for a drink sometime this week. If you guys would like to join us, just shoot me your email (or email me) and we can exchange contact info.
David, your idea sounds interesting. Keep us posted please!
