Lunch 2.0 on Chronicle’s front page

Posted in Uncategorized at 2:38 pm by David Kellogg

A group I helped start, Lunch 2.0, is shown in the San Francisco Chronicle today. What is Lunch 2.0? Terry has a good description in The Lunch 2.0 story so far. It is a group of Silicon Valley workers and students that get together at each other’s companies for free food and great conversation. The party at Linked In drew around 250 people, a huge turnout. Terry and I wanted to sneak into corporate cafeterias back in 2000, but we did not get far.

We tried to start a networking event called a Junto, but that failed out of only being an intellectual networking event. The Lunch 2.0 concept created by Mark, Joseph, Terry and me, was only about trying to get a few free meals. We got good publicity through Mark, and it stuck. I’m happy the Chronicle article was written. Maybe we can hope for a few more lunches in the next year.
