    Great job.

    Best part was networking at the pre-party. The actual event had too many speakers and ran too long and late. I would have preferred hearing more experiences from LA companies versus talks from vendors.

    Thanks, William, for pulling together such a great set of speakers. Bloomberg West covered Beachmint yesterday, you deserved it! Particularly impressed by the Cloudera presentation!

    Had a good experience. I (and it seems others) were expecting actual presentations. The organizers made a few unsuccessful attempts at getting the groups attention. Playing with the clubs lighting should have done the trick. I enjoyed speaking the the sponsors and the people I met - so overall a successful meet-up!

    Thanks for organizing the event. Several people that I spoke with agreed that the music was too loud to have meaningful conversations.

    It was extremely hard to hold a conversation for more then 15 seconds. I could barely even hear myself and had to literally yell at people so they could hear me.

    Great Croud and energy, unfortunately the music was much too loud and the venue to small. people couldn't hold group conversations. the organizer didn't know if it should be a Club Experience where the music is up or a Networking event where startups could learn from each other and pitch their services. Good intentions but poorly executed. Hopefully next time the kinks get ironed out.

    Music was way too loud, demoing companies should have had a chance to speak about their products. Too many people, keynote speaker couldn't even get people to shush. I saw the valiant efforts made to quiet the crowd, but to no avail. That said, had a great time.

    The venue was too small for the amount of people that showed, we also got asked to leave the salsa area, making it crazy. Good group though.

    Good turn out. Unfortunately, the venue was too small for the number of people there and it was also loud which made it hard to have conversations.

    While it was very nice to meet people doing interesting startupy things, I was disappointed to see disproportionally more people looking for employees than people looking for work. In addition, the venue was too small for the number of people invited, and a bit awkwardly arranged. In the future I would love to see more clear delineation between startups and people looking to work there, a bigger (and thus slightly quieter) venue, and perhaps even a focus on one or another subset of employees (i.e. a "business dev / legal" focus, a "developer" focus, a "design/UX" focus, etc) to narrow down the types of people who participate.

    great job William. Good people. Heavy on the recruiter side a bit. Need to get the word out to developer circles/mailing lists and business/marketing professionals more next time. All in all, excellent event. Great turn out. Fantastic people.
