Does anyone know of any good business networking groups in the CC area? I've been looking online and it's slim pickings so to speak. We are a tech services and development firm if that makes a difference. Thanks.

Thanks Mike. Spelling is not my strong point.

Hi Fred,

There is actually a lot of techie stuff going on in Philly. Exciting things have been happening in the last year or two with several grass-roots entrepreneurial groups showing up. Are you looking for customers, business advice, other entrepreneurs to share experiences or something else?

Morning shakesula,

I am looking for a wider customer base more then anything else right now. thanks.

Fred

Fred, what I had in mind was more on the other side of the startup equation (non-marketing) but check out http://www.panma.org for general networking if you haven't already.

I'd hope your not my competition before I go spewing advice

I'd recommend you join the Center City Prop. Assos. it offers awesome networking events and other benefits.

You can stop by a lot of their events at a non-member rate to try them out too if you prefer.

My company is a new member and we're very happy with it so far.

If you do decide to visit an event you can drop me a line or say hi as I'm almost always at their events.

Thanks Frazell,

I'll check them out. I also took a look an panma. I went to the National Mechanics thing posted on the panma sight and no one was there that was part of a group, and the bartender didn't seem to know anything about it. Kind of diasppointing...

Also Frazell, we may overlap in some areas. We do IT support, Web and App development in the tri-state area. But I find Philly is arather large market and I'm sure we'll get on. Thanks for the advice.

Fred

Hey,

Yea I'm sure we'll exist just fine along side each other. I was just offering a comical jab in an attempt to break the ice.

I looked at your site for the first time today and I noticed you have a link requesting information from people who would be interested in investing in your corporation. I'm not sure if you're aware of the fact that doing so is considered to be selling stock to the public.

By soliciting public investment you'll have to comply with all SEC regulations and filing requirements just like Microsoft or GM does. Not to forget extremely expensive regulations like Sarbanes-Oxley.

A good start would be: http://www.sec.gov/info/smallbus.shtml

Your other option is to drop the investor section from your website and not to solicit investments publicly.

You're totally right and I went through all SEC fillings, what a pain in the butt. I thought you met it as a comical note, just never know some times. Thanks again.
