Happy 2013!

Our 36th Hackers & Founders is happening this upcoming week at Stand on Thursday, Jan. 31. We're moving back to one of our favorite (and original) Winter spots for burgers and beers.

These meetups will be held the last Thursday of every month from 6-8 PM to gather ideas, meet other hackers/founders and share good times.

Make sure to follow Hackers & Founders on Twitter: @hackersfounders

(FYI: Let the group know what you're working on. Send a note to @hackersfounders.)

P.S. I wanted to send a big "congrats" to the West Coast team (Jonathan and Laura) on the launch of their incubator program, Co-Op. Jonathan stopped by TechCrunch TV to chat about what Co-Op is all about.

Hackers & Founders Sponsors

Status Chart

Long time member, Chris Kennedy, recently released a powerful yet simple tool to to track your personal milestones and "wins" called Status Chart. You can see Kennedy's progress on his own product, in the true sense, of eating his own dog food. We'd highly recommend checking it out and signing up for the public beta.

Anyvite

Since the first meetup, we're proud to be working with Anyvite - the easiest way to create, manage and share events with the world. With awesome customer support, easy-to-use event management tools like discussion groups and photo tracking after the event, Anyvite is the best service available for event management.

Dave's Note: We've updated our sponsorship program. You can find out more and suggest dedicated sponsors for H&F down the road via this post on my blog.
