As mentioned in the previous post, we just planned the first event of Startup Dinner in association with #smileat.

In the first half of the event, we invite three key players to discuss a collaboration of restaurant business and social web services.   We expect them to focus on how social media helps them promote and follow up their customers.

We expect to have lightening talks as well.  If you are interested in presenting your new service, please drop us a line to info[at]startup-dating.com or post an @reply tweet.  We can have three presentations, and each of them is requested to finish in five minutes.   We’ll cover them on this website and get comments from our advisors as usual.

Furthermore, we have a closed Facebook group that allows you to talk with the Startup Dating organizers and the #smileat participating restaurant owners.  If you with to join the group, please drop us a line.  Thank you.
