It's surprising how few events there are (if any) for those building startups using .NET. There are lots of .NET events for enterprise and ISVs / VAR. Even thought Microsoft built the BizSpark initiative, which is awesome at supporting startups by addressing one of their main concerns (cost of software), there is not events who are community driven that allows startups to share experiences with other startups. Until now!

Today I'm kicking of the Dot Net Startup meetup and the Dot Net Startup discussion list.

1) Register for the first meetup:

• Dot Net Startup Meetup
• Speaker: Scott Porad, CTO at Cheezburger Network
• Talk: Framework for Setup and Best Practices 
• When: Tuesday, February 7 - 6:00 PM
• RSVP:  http://www.dotnetstartup.com/events/49927842/  

2) Join the discussion list:

• http://groups.google.com/group/dotnetstartup

Let me know if you have suggestions on how to make the meetup and discussion list ultra-valuable, and let your friends who are doing (or planning on doing) a startup know about it.
