Editor’s note: In the latest post of the ExitEvent-WRALTechWire partnership, Joe Procopio takes a look at the uniqueness of the Startup Social, which he founded.
DURHAM, N.C. – Hard to believe that we’re coming up on Startup Social #29 on Monday (March 24th). What started as a little get-together that got out of hand turned into a … larger get together that’s still pretty much out of hand.
But even with all that history and all the noise that I’ve made about the value of the Social over the last three years, the message still doesn’t get as far as I’d like. No agenda? No speeches? No name tags?

The uniqueness of the Social is the fact that you can strike up a conversation with the person next to you and chances are almost 100% that said person is an entrepreneur or an investor. I can’t make that guarantee at a place like Fullsteam because we’re not closing it down or anything like that (that would be a very un-ExitEvent move). But here are the five types of people you’ll be talking to at Monday’s Social — and why you should be talking to them.
