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.
