This Friday April 23 at 6:30pm we're showing a movie at CCC to help benfit vicitims of the recent earthquake in Chile. The movie is called Historias de fútbol. IMDB says, "Three vignettes about the lives of young Chileans and their passions and frustrations over one of the century's most important rituals." (It has english subtitles). CCC is working with Javier Velasco in partnership with Ayuda a Ayudar. Suggested donation is $10. Join us!

Local attorney Mital Patel is joining us tomorrow at noon for lunch here at Carrboro Coworking. (April 21, 2010) I met him at the first RTP Lean Startup Circle. He's a entrepreneurial computer science major with a law degree! Its a really unique combo! Come ask Mital questions and meet an cool attorney who gets it. Bring your own lunch if you like. I'll have a few pizza's for those of us who forget. :)

Here's his bio:
Mital M. Patel focuses his law practice on serving small businesses and tech startup companies. He experiences range from helping businesses with issues regarding incorporation, intellectual property, employment, to mergers and acquisitions. His background as a computer programmer and entrepreneur allow him to speak his clients' "language" and provide sound legal counsel. Mital developed his passion for technology when he majored in Computer Science at NC State University and received his legal training as a Charter member of the Elon University School of Law.

Have you heard of the Lean Startup? It's a group of methods for starting and running a business, and it has its roots in lean manufacturing, customer development and agile methodology. We're kicking off with a primer on Lean Startups by Nathaniel Talbott of Terralien; no need to bring anything except a desire to learn.

As part of this first meeting we'll be soliciting feedback on where you'd like to see the group go, so come armed with any suggestions or thoughts you have.

RSVP here.

A big thank you to our sponsors: the Research Triangle Park, Terralien, and Durham Coworking.

Durham Coworking will be an office environment designed to meet the needs of entrepreneurs, freelancers, and mobile workers.

The workforce is changing. Every year more and more people work outside the traditional office environment. Laptop computers, mobile devices, and wireless Internet access enable millions to work from home or set up shop in a cafe. But sometimes that mobility comes at a price: the distractions of home can interfere with work, and the local coffee shop may not be the best place to meet with potential investors in your start-up.

That’s where Durham Coworking comes in. Durham Coworking will be a shared professional workspace with a community atmosphere, designed to meet the needs of microbusinesses, freelancers, home-office workers, entrepreneurs, start-ups, tech workers, writers, designers, and other professionals whose work doesn’t fit into a normal office template.
