DUBLIN, Calif., April 29, 2010 — East Bay Entrepreneurs gather at Bootstrappers Breakfast® meetings (http://www.bootstrappersbreakfast.com) to compare notes and share business issues. Monthly breakfast meetings are at Athens Burger Restaurant ) in Dublin, CA beginning May 27, 2010, at 7:30 a.m.
"We are excited to add a new breakfast that supports the East Bay's strong entrepreneur culture," said Sean Murphy, founder of the Bootstrappers Breakfast group. "Gone are the days when the East Bay was just a bedroom community. It continues to create promising innovative startups especially in life sciences and clean/green technologies."
"We were delighted when Pete Tormey of Action Patents (http://www.actionpatents.com) volunteered to moderate this new Bootstrappers Breakfast meeting in Dublin. Pete has co-founded two companies and has extensive experience in both engineering and marketing," continued Murphy.
Since its inception in 2005, the entrepreneur group has grown to a national organization of startup founders who "eat problems for breakfast"TM. The breakfast meeting format allows each entrepreneur to make a brief introduction and to ask for suggestions for one or more challenges they currently have. This encourages attendees to consider new approaches offered from peers.
