Carrboro Creative Coworking

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.
