If you want to know more feel free to check out the (still being written) FAQ, but in a nutshell we're …

After helping form the San Fransisco and Seattle "Settler's of Catan" leagues, where executives from VC backed technology startups would gather, network, and play "Settler's of Catan," I decided that since I'm a New Yorker now, I would do the same here.

Tax increases should not be off the table. This meetup is abo …
